Syracuse University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Christie

To be honest, there's really not quite a lot to brag about. But if I were to brag about some things it would be the social life. I think my school is pretty involved with sororities and fraternities here. Also, my school is pretty well diverse, however I would say the the large diversity needs to unify the students together.

Mert

Mostly about the quality of the Faculty and other resources (library, fitness centers, free buses, and so on).

Rong-Mai

Our school has a lot of job opportunties and have lots of resources to allow us to achieve.

Michelle

I always tell my friends about the welcoming atmosphere at Syracuse. Everyone is willing to guide you where you need to go and help you overcome any obstacles that may be in your way. I also brag about the opportunities that my school has to offer, whether it be educational, abroad, internship related or networking based. Syracuse has everything I ever wanted all wrapped in one. The campus is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the experience is truly incredible. People told me that college would be the best four years of my life, I'm starting to believe it.

Melia

I attend a large private university. It?s no Ivy League. When my friends from home fanned their golden acceptance letters in my face, I was embarrassed not to be among the elite. But I am in a program for Public Communications that is not only recognized nationwide as the top institution for Journalism, but it is more selective in its application process than Harvard. My friends do not know that, but a future employer in my field will. Worry less about the weight of a college?s name, and more about how it will cater to your needs.

Danielle

I brag most about the people I have met here. I love everyone I have met during my freshman year here at Syracuse, meeting people I would have never known. Another thing that I brag about is the spirit built around sports here at Syracuse. I love how excited everyone gets for games and how big of a deal the games are for the community. It bonds people and I love that about sports. I am glad Syracuse uses that spirit to gather support for its athletes and students.

I brag how I like my school, and that we actually get seasons like fall and winter, snow included.

The Study Abroad program is amazing. Everyone on campus has an incredible school spirit. Newhouse provided me with a great education. The alumni network is unbelievable.

James

Sports are ususally the first thing to brag about to friends since they are very successful in more than one sport. But the academic learning environment and the academic success of the school is also talked about. When people hear about Syracuse University, it is regarded as a very good school and is something that we talk about all the time. We also bring in the fact that it is very easy to make friends at school because of the environment we are in.

Carly

I am never bored here. No matter the day, there is always something to do, somewhere to go, and someone to do it with.

Xiao

My school is too big for me. It is challenge, because there are many people in one classroom. Also, everyone is smarter than the other one. Everyone is hardworking and compeitive, but I learned many thing from people around me. I like to listen to different lectures and activities that are held on campus. Also, there are a lot of homework. I had grown so much after I came to this school. I started to love my school now. I have changed so much after coming to this school, becasue I have learned so much things here.

Kaitlin

Definitely the sports teams. Nothing compares to watching a basketball game in the Dome with over 60,000 people there, all dressed in orange and screaming. If I'm talking to friends in the communication business, then the Newhouse name always comes up. It won't get you a job by itself, but it does open the door and get you an interview.
