Syracuse University is a terriable place to go to school. I have never to a place with more uniformed and unintelligent people in my life. The students seemingly all come from sheltered suburban backgrounds. When they are challenged to think of ideas outside the scope of their suburban ideals, it results in some of the most ignorant and racist statements ever heard in a classroom. The diversity here is non-existant and the division of economic classes is readily apparent in the daily campus life and during off hours at local bars. Campus bars are divided by Class, Race, and Greek affiliation, something many students fail to notice. If you are looking for a college with stimulating academics, a good city, and a fun campus life look somewhere else. This is a lower tier research school with an overblown sense of status because of the Newhouse communications school. It is not suprizing that a major that many other schools consider to be a joke is Syracuse's major selling point. If you have a chance to go to a liberal arts college or an art school or a major university in a real city then go! Go somewhere and be challenged to actually think in and out the classroom setting because it won't happen at Syracuse University.
