Greeks Dominate
Greek life is a very big part of the social life on campus. Unfortunately, they can sometimes create "status". Fraternities are pretty fun to go to and for the most part throw parties every weekend. THis is convenient because, being located in a small city, there are not many club/bar options especially for freshman and sophomores who are new to the school. It is a good way for freshman to get involved in the community, to branch out and meet new people. It definitely creates a sense of camaraderie across campus. Not only are there social fraternities and sororities, but there are also cultural and academic ones as well.

Parking Isn't an Issue
For the most part, most students live fairly close to campus so there is no real need to drive to school. I am currently a freshman so I'm technically not allowed to have a car. However, every person I've talked to who has a car doesn't complain about parking.

Needs Improvement
On campus transportation is pretty decent. The busses have a set schedule and are on time. If you live on campus there isn't really a need to take a bus, unless you live in South Campus, in which case you need to take the bus or have your car.
Now, the city of Syracuse does not have the best public transportation. Everything is really far from school and busses usually take really long detours. On the plus side, the busses are free for students. However, most students feel safer sharing cabs and they are more time efficient.
