Service

Susquehanna does a lot of great service work. There are many clubs dedicated to just that. It is also required of freshmen during orientation week to participate in a service project. We help out a lot of organizations around the world and also right in our community.

Campus Grabs and Holds Attention

This campus is truly beautiful. It looks just as good in person as it does in the professionally done advertising pictures. The squirrels here serve as entertainment as you're walking from class to class - walks, I might add, that, at longest, last only about five minutes. The closeness of our academic buildings makes everything SO much easier than at larger schools.

Our academics at SU are important to everyone, but you will still find the SGA president at a party on Saturday night, right next to a baseball player. The social lines on this campus are nearly nonexistent - we're all students at SU and so we all work to get along and help each other out.

Typical All-American School in a Rural Setting

Susquehanna is basically your typical all-American school. Most students here are from working class and middle class families, mostly from rural Pennsylvania and New Jersey. There aren't many minorities in any sense of the word. Most of the people here could probably be classified as jocky, redneck, or preppy. The social scene is lacking; the only thing to do is party, and there are weekends when there aren't any being thrown. The school tries to put on activities over the weekend, but they are very poorly attended by students. There is a small mall, movie theater, restraunts, Walmart, and some other chain stores withing ten minutes. Other than that, the school's pretty remote, so its difficult to get to entertainment.
