Syracuse University Top Questions

I think the worst thing about my school is that our student body isn't as diverse as we make it out to be. We have students from all over the country, and all over the world attending our University, but racially and culturally we could still be more diverse.

The freedom of drama students to put up their own work. It's not encouraged to be creative and use your voice. The professors like to keep you under their wing and wait to be cast in department production.

I would say the worst thing is the weather. It is so unpredictable! At the beginning of the fall semester it was around 90 degrees everyday and the dorms didn't have ACs...Then we had our first snowfall right before Halloween, which seems oddly soon. After several weeks of snowfall, we experience the Indian Summer period and we're hitting the 90's again!! After that we have the coldest weather ever for 5 months straight! I love the snow, it's great fun but, try walking to your classes at 9am with snow up to your knees!

My school is racially diverse but very segregated. Coming from my home town to here, I wish there was more mixing of races. It can also be hard to find friends since it's so large.

The winter months are sometimes very cold, yet still bearable.

The worst thing about Syracuse is that it snows all the time and our football team is not very good.

the weather

There trying to be overly cultural and it seems to make more "non-cultural" students segregated.

The worst thing would involve the athletes. Since the school seems to be very in thier sports, athletes seem to get more privileges then regular students. They get offered many things that other students don't get such as free tutors. There are handful of athletes that take advantage of their opportunity and dont do anything but cruise through school, while any other student would be more than happy to receive the same benefits they have.

nothing

people do not associate with people outside their race

Even though we are culturely diverse, there seems to be a division between races when it comes to who you hang out with. Makes it hard to make friends. There's alot of elitism.

The transportation system to go to south campus-there are not enough buses during the day to take all students to south campus and manley on one bus. There needs to be more than one bus every ten minutes. Buses need to run every five minutes or less

The worst thing about Syracuse would be the weather. Everything is so gorgeous and great when it is nice out but that only lasts for about 2 months of the year (1 month of which you don't really get to enjoy because of exams). So that is my major gripe with Syracuse- the cold and the snow/rain.

The weather is the worst thing. Some of the students are snobs, but there is such diversity that you won't have to befriend or interact with those students much if at all.

The lack of school spirit has always been an extreme annoyance to me. It may be because of my studies within the arts department, where school spirit is not very high on the list of priorities for most of those who teach there. I think there needs to be a change in focus for the school in becoming less monetarily focused, but more so about bringing people together in pride for their school; so that when they graduate their love for their school beyond simply having that school's name on one's resume.

I love my school. The worst things are probably the football team and the construction. Most of the construction is done now or will be done soon, I was just there during the transition. Oh! and the Chancellor, I really am not a fan. But overall, I love the school.

Freezing Cold Winters(negatives) and the rare chance that classes ever get cancelled!

the department of public safety. bucause they never do their job right

Lack of interest in student input.
