Are there anything to do outside of Syracuse University?

Question

Like are there things to do? Or is it really quiet? Would you ever get bored?

Are there any site that has lots of info about SU? (like a blog or something...) but not infos that would be on the princeton review.

Answer 1

I spent six years in Syracuse, working on my Ph.D.

There are lots of bars and restaurants, both in the university area, and downtown in Armory Square. (Don't miss Dinosaur BBQ!)

There is a local AAA baseball team (the Skychiefs), and of course, there are lots of university sporting events, including football and basketball (I had season tickets to Syracuse men's basketball). There's also skiing nearby (Greek Peak).

The Carousel Mall in Syracuse is huge. There is an airport in Syracuse as well, making it handy to travel when necessary.

There's a farmer's market in the summer, and lots of annual local festivals like "Taste of Syracuse," and the State Fair.

Ithaca, Cazenovia, and the Finger Lakes are within driving distance, as are Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls. There are a few music festival grounds nearby as well, all within driving distance. I went to quite a few fantastic outdoor music festivals when I lived there, but there's a very decent music scene right in town. (Again, Dinosaur BBQ!) There's lots of university-sponsored and local theatre too.

There are good local museums, including the art museum and the Erie Canal museum. St. Marie Among the Iroquois is right on Onondaga lake -- it's a living history museum where reenactors play French colonists and Hodenosaunee (Iroquois) people in the seventeenth century.

Syracuse is a very livable city, although students love to complain about it. I complained all the time, but in retrospect, it was a great place to live while in school.

Answer 2

alot of the things going on in syracuse revolve around the university...such as the school's basketball and football games at the dome. there are semi pro hockey and baseball teams. the mall, carousel center, is huge. it's one of the bigger malls in the country. there are lots of cool bars in armory square (downtown). the winters can be brutal, and are easier to take if you have a winter hobby. on the surface syr. is an old, broke down industrial city, but it's really better than that. you have to "shop" it

Answer 3

quite, not very probable in any respect. With maximum of applicants, faculties sift by way of admissions with a minimum GPA that they provide theory to. you will possibly additionally pick some solid extracurricular activities. My advice: save your application value, circulate to an area college for a year or 2 (plenty greater decrease priced, much less demanding to get your pre-reqs and locate out what you like), and then seem to circulate.

Answer 4

Syracuse is a good size city....does that help ?
