Syracuse Off-Campus Dining
There are tons of options for off campus dining from ethnic cuisine to burgers. It is easy to access most restaurants and there are cheap options that are very close to campus. The food is good but the restaurants are usually very busy.

Syracuse University Facilities
The facilities on campus are very nice, and many buildings have just been renovated. The campus is very pretty, with the famous hall of lauguages in the center of the lay out. There is a nice athletic facility and a few libraries to choose from. The quad is beautiful and always a good place to study.

Syracuse University Inside Scoop
Syracuse is a school where people study hard during the week and party hard during the weekends. Regardless of who you are, there are always parties and events to go to. Greek life is big, but there are many options if one chooses not to go Greek. The social scene is fun and many performers always come to campus. The academic programs are strong, and it is easy to connect with professors. Most of the classes are small, and are always taught by professors. The facilities are nice, and the dorms are fantastic. The dorms are also very social, and the university often puts on events just for specific dorms. I absolutely love the school and I have been so happy here.

Syracuse Local Atmosphere
Syracuse is a fairly poor city but has a lot of good things to offer. There are tons of restaurants and events that happen within the city. The shopping is good, and the carousel mall is massive and has a wide variety of stores to go to. The local attitude towards students is positive, they love the university since it is very active in the community.

Syracuse Guys and Girls
Syracuse is a pretty classy school, and almost everyone dresses up for class. This is especially true for students who are in the S.I Newhouse School of Public Communications. The girls are pretty and the guys are attractive. The interests of the students vary, but I would say everyone is pretty accepting. The dating scene is that of a typical college dating scene. Some people are in relationships and others just hook up with people of the weekends. It is really up to the student.

Syracuse Weather
Syracuse is notorious for snowy winters, however it isn't as bad as most people make it out to be. In fact, many students love the snow and it creates a sort of campus spirit. Everyone is cold, and there is snow everywhere, but you can always find people willing to sled and build snowmen.

Syracuse University Greek Life
At Syracuse, Greek life plays a big role in the social scene. However, there are options for people who don't want to be involved in Greek life. I am in a sorority and I heve enjoyed every minute of it, however, I still have tons of friends who aren't involved in Greek life at all.

Drug Use at Syracuse University
Like most colleges, Syracuse has drugs and alcohol. However, it really depends on who you hang out with. As far as drugs are concerned, students mostly smoke weed. Drinking is much more popular, however it can be avoided since there are so many other activities around campus every weekend. If a student is caught with drugs or alcohol, there are repercussions however they are not incredibly strict.

Syracuse Univeristy Majors
I absolutely love my major. I am a TV, Radio, Film and Spanish dual and I could not be happier in my programs. S.I Newhouse School of public communications is an amazing place, and I enjoy going to class everyday since the classes are fun and engaging.
