Its not the grades that matter but the urge to make it big, while taking home a lesson learnt and mastering whatever one wishes to do..A person who wishes to develop an all round career ignoring the extremeties of the weather etc. And I am one of them thats why I joined Syracuse!!And I am proud of my decision!!!Go cuse!

Christine

I believe anyone regardless of race or religion who is determined to maintain a great educational experience should attend Syracuse University. Syracuse is a place where people who are motivated and committed exceed their success. Many students in High school don't take their free education for granted. But those who do, know the importance of advancing to a higher education institute. At times there are students who didn't do so well their first year in high school but picked up their grades and showed improvement, those are the students that Syracuse University look for with programs like HEOP.

Erin

The type of person who wants to be in a place where the alumni feel as strongly connected to Syracuse University as recent graduates feel. The sense of tradition is strong here, and I look forward to keeping my relationship with the university active for years after I've left campus. Students who are motivated to do good, get a well-rounded education, open their eyes to new ideas, and thrive in an energetic community will flourish at 'Cuse. Syracuse is the perfect blend of new experiences and old traditions for anyone that wants to make it their own.

Christie

A social person and someone who can endure the harsh weather here in Syracuse! They should also want to have a personality who want to try new things. Our school tries hard to bring new experiences for students and get them involved.

Cole

Syracuse is a fairly large and a very diverse school. I came from a small, low diversity school and it really opened my eyes and ultimately changed my life. I recommend Syracuse University to anyone who is looking for an intense educational experience with awesome professors and great opportunities, a great array of groups and organizations to get involved with, and an amazing social life.

Mohong

people who are big sports fans, upper middle class, loves to social, have things to say and love to express them selves will fit in this school easily.

Kristine

You can get what you want out of this school, if you want to work and focus on academics you can, or focus on social life and take a light course load. There's really a mixed bag of people and interests, but it works well for someone like me who values academics and a social life.

dominick

Marie

Students that come from a middle class or upper middle class family with network connections. The school is expensive and doesn't give out much aid to students who work hard. Also, the career center is picky on who they help out. They will bend over backwords for students who have high GPA's to get them a job when they graduate. I highly recommend you have a network you can rely on to help you get a job in this economy.

Arielle

I really believe that anyone could fit in here. At the same time, if you do not enjoy cold weather then Syracuse definitely isn't the right place for you. Syracuse is perfect for people who never really grew up and still like to play in the snow and go sledding.

jess

driven people should go to this school, and radical people should go to this school because its biggest faults are that people know what's wrong (i.e. financial aid, distribution of resources to student groups, imagined diversity, etc) but don't really speak up/make moves to change what's wrong.

Alex

A person who is wanting to find a field of study they really enjoy and plug into it. They should be prepared for the cold, but they should be prepared with the mindset of learning how to balance work with fun.

If a person is into parties and Greek life, this school is for them. Grad programs here are also very competetive and satisfying. Also, anyone interested in communications would love Syracuse.

Caitlin

Any type of person can attend Syracuse, there is a wide variety of people on campus. I would say that underlying, everyone is academically driven and wants to succeed in life.

Kiana

People that are ready for change and has something to offer to the University.

Rebecca

A person who is committed academically but knows how to balance social life and school. Syracuse University is extremely expensive, so you have to be willing to pay for it and make use of the education you receive. It's not a place to go where you might blow off your education and end up flunking out.

i think anyone could attend this school and fit in and/or do well there. although i'm sure that there is a fair share of republicans around campus, liberals seem to take the cake.

You should attend this school if you enjoy the perks of having both a campus and city, small classes and large classes, and working and playing hard.
