Every college has its ups and downs. Choosing a college is like window shopping, you see what they want you to see. Once you start in the fall, you see the true campus. So I present you with 10 things that totally suck at Syracuse University.
Obviously anyone applying to Syracuse knows they have just applied to live in a frozen tundra, but people do not understand just how cold and windy it can be. On Valentines Day, 2016 the temperature was a lovely -22 degrees. At least it gave students an excuse to bundle up with a romantic comedy.
If you are a freshmen living on Mount Olympus you understand the struggle of walking up the steps. Whether you count 170 or 128.
When you have an 12 o’clock class and you try to sleep in and get breakfast, but you get to the dining hall and all they have is lunch your heart breaks a little.
While weekdays need longer breakfast weekends need shorter breakfast, breakfast until 3 is great only when you pulled an all nighter. Otherwise more normal hours would be appreciated.
$65K a year should mean free laundry, but instead were counting quarters.
In order for guys to get into parties they need to bring more girls than the amount of guys. Always annoying for guys, almost as much as the cover fee.
We bleed orange, but we want more wins.
All anyone sees on campus is a sea of Canada Goose Jackets, L.L. Bean boots, Patagonia’s, Polo and Vineyard Vines. Of course you cannot forget those crop tops and chokers as well.
As Syracuse is a known party school seeing an ambulance or DPS car at a dorm is not an uncommon sighting sadly. While it is much more common Thursday thru Saturday seeing them during the week is not unheard of.
While we do have a great party scene and a great sports program we also have some great academic programs. Our Architecture school is #3 in the country and our iSchool is #1. In addition Newhouse is a widely recognized school for communications with notable alumni Dick Clark and Bob Costas.
Despite these problems ever student here still bleeds Orange!
