Reasons to attend and to not attend Syracuse University

- “School spirit.”
- “There’s always something going on. They have this really cool Orange After Dark program where they always have things available on weekends, like movie nights or skiing.”
- “It’s a big school. There are a lot of people, so you’ll find friends.”
- “It has a nice mix of academics and nightlife. It’s not just studying all the time.”
To Not Attend
- “If you don’t like Greek life that could be a con. About 30% of the students are affiliated.”
- “It’s cold all the time.”
- “Getting here is tough.”
