Syracuse University





It’s very easy to get to Syracuse, NY from VVille, being just 2.5 hours from here. It was a bitter cold day on the day that I visited, which is not atypical for Syracuse, but, come on- it's March already! You don’t go there for the weather! SU is a large urban school with nearly 12,000 undergrads and another 5000 grad students. Their 9 colleges have produced some of the most famous and successful Newsmen, Athletes, and entertainment figures in the country and also our current Vice President! The colleges, in order of size, are: Arts& Science, Visual & Performing Arts, Management, Communications, Engineering& Computer Science, Human Ecology, Architecture, Education, and Information Sciences. There are over 200 majors offered with admission to the Newhouse School of Communications being the most competitive, followed closely by the Whitman School of Management.

SU boasts students from all 50 states and 115 countries. Most students are from outside of NYS, 58% are female, 60% live on campus all 4 years, 25% are involved in frats or sororities. Maria Qualtere, 2007 VHS grad, is a current Orange Sophomore and is quite involved already and quite fond of her college.
