Syracuse University (SU) Campus

The Life Sciences Complex is home to the departments of biology, chemistry, and many other science fields, as well as my favorite snack bar on campus. mmmm, smoothies! This building is a great reminder that SU is a top ranked research university; The classrooms, labs, and lecture halls are state of the art to facilitate learning and exploration.

Part of the first year experience is the Be Well Expo where we discussed the topic of wellness and mindfulness through various activities like rock climbing, trivia, and hanging out with therapy dogs!

Always remember, GO ORANGE!!

Hello! My name is Maria Victoria, I'm a first year acting student from New York City, and I am super excited to be your Campus Reel tour guide for Syracuse University!

The University Promenade, completed in 2016, transformed a simple walkway from one side on campus to another into a place of "gathering, community and vitality". The Promenade has several benches and bike loops, and, to combat the New York cold, the Promenade heats up in the winter months to help the walkway stay clear and safe.

The Pages Cafe is located just inside the Bird Library, and, during a busy week of work and classes and assignments, it's a great spot to duck in and get a cup of coffee, or meet your friends for a quick bite to eat.

The Shaffer Art Building has both classrooms for the School of Transmedia and the School of Art within the College of Visual and Performing Arts, as well as public exhibition spaces for student art and guest creatives.

Showing you around Syracuse University has been so much fun. I hope your college search is fun and rewarding, and that you find the perfect fit for you!

Taking the bus up the university hill is the easiest way to get to class. Buses run regularly up to campus, as well as several other SU affiliated locations. And the best part? The buses are free to board with your Syracuse University ID!

Syracuse University is a vibrant, city-like school. Not mentioned in the video is that SU has a bus system, so it's really easy for students to hop on the bus to get to another part of campus or head downtown to grab a cup of coffee with their friends!

No matter what we're studying or where we're from, Syracuse students are all united under one big orange umbrella. Even after we graduate, we look out for each other through the alumni network, or "The Orange Mafia". #GoCuse

At SU classes are experiential, and a mix of lectures, and conversations. The average classes are small, which gives students an opportunity to really be engaged with the professor and class material.

Carnegie Library is one of libraries on campus. Thanks to its quite environment, it is usually super busy with students studying and doing homework!

Syracuse winters are known to be brutal. Syracuse was ranked the #1 snowiest city in America. However, our school spirit makes up for the mild hypothermia that you may get when outside. #bleedorange
