Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I'm currently a freshman and i've been here 8 weeks or so and i'm ready to transfer. It seems that a lot of kids here came here as a last resort which was the situation for me. Oswego the town is so dead. The campus is vibrant though since it is right by lake Ontario and everyone is friendly. There is nothing to do in town since there are just bars and places to eat. The food is sub par. The centro bus system is convenient but there are only three buses that go into syracuse only three times a day. It is free for Oswego students only 3/7 days of the week otherwise it costs 5.00. There are frat parties virtually every weekend. If you're an intelligent person who doesn't like cold frigid weather, DO NOT come here. Financial aid is terrible too.

As a transfer student it is important to get involved with activities on campus. I for one am on the xc and track teams and I love it. The people on the team are amazing. Dorm's are really nice, hart was a great experience it's the international dorm and it is beautiful in there. Riggs is also really nice and overlooks the lake. Having Lake Ontario is great, it provides the campus with a beautiful view and a relaxed feel. The people here are for the most part really friendly, and there are different types of people. Faculty is mixed, most of them are great, some can be a little high on themselves. But overall Oswego is amazing, and it will grow on you.

The lake was nice, close to Canada (Toronto is about a 5 bus ride away which isn't bad, but that does not include the 2 bus to Syracuse), it had a lot of snow. As a meteorology major they drew me in with Storm chasing and the lake effect snow. However, the student here at Oswego are the worst. Let me give you a little break down of the general makeup of the students. They're all from New York; a lot coming from Long Island. I don't find anyone here interesting or remotely intellectually stimulating. The rest of the people either love sports or are so generic that they blend in with the rest of the people. Everyone is white and has the some bland personality. The minority population don't make friends outside their races (from what I have observed). This is pretty much highschool 2.0. I was afraid it was going to be like that, I wanted to believe that it was nice here. One of my really good friends already transferred out after his first semester. Now i've just found out that 2 other of my good friends are transferring leaving me with literally almost no friends. It's not that i can't make friends, i'm a pretty normal guy and can make friends pretty easily, it's just that i don't want to be friends with anyone. If you're looking for real people don't go here, if you're an average bro or a girl who like nickelback than you will be fine here. There is nothing to do in the "city" and you have to walk everywhere. The frats suck and not fun at all; they serve watered down beer and the houses are packed and hot. So if you're looking to get drunk and meet bland people Oswego is your place! Perceived Campus Safety: A, Social Life: F Have a Question?
