Vibrant Campus
There is always something to do on the campus, and it is not necessary to consume alcohol to enjoy oneself. Sober parties are held too! Plus, public transportation offers students an opportunity to explore Oswego, and shopping is a must.

Party School?
While I abstain from addictive substances, SUNY Oswego has a certain reputation for alcohol abuse. Parties involving drunken behavior are commonplace, and it is almost certain to me that marijuana is involved, though of course I rarely see it being used.
