Huh? So here we have One of my friends from orange seeds were currently out of service. What's your name? My name is Lauren Miller. I am officially undecided Newhouse, but I'm probably going to be photo journalism and then doubling and CC, which acidic and citizenship engagement with a minor in Spanish. Uh, yeah, that's That's why I'm at school. What's your favorite thing about Syracuse? Um, I have to say, it's definitely the people. It's like when you when you join different org's You start to find your people and you find your community and it takes a while because it can seem like a really big campus. When you start to join those org's, you start to see people everywhere. It seemed like a school where you don't know anyone. Then the more you do, the more you joined, the more I start to see my friends every day. So it's like it's really cool that this huge community can get very small and that, like I feel homey on campus. I also don't feel like I'm being suffocated, so that's probably my favorite thing is that I let you get to see my friends every day, and I could, like, go to certain spots on campus, like, Okay, I'm going to run into like, I'm an orientation is I'm like, I'm going to run into oils here, and I really make my day feel better and yeah, so what's your least everything about Syracuse? Not a big fan of the administration. Honestly, I don't like what they're doing in response to a lot of stuff, like with fate, a talent with Greek life and granted, I am in Greek life, but I think they could be doing a lot better to be a lot more inclusive on campus and could be doing a lot better to make students with different voices and different identities feel like they have a place and have a belonging and to sort of help make the universe's mix. Because often time, there's a lot of like segregation on camp on campus and see their self segregation or its outward segregation. So what is the sitter body like? Student body is awesome. It's very diverse, like it's just about putting yourself in the spaces where people from all different background makes. I think that's one thing that we really should work on is like There's so many cool people with so many like cool backgrounds and stories, and it just like putting like I suddenly put itself in places and spaces like get to know all of them like theirs. Like last year I had people on my floor that, like, live next to me, that we're from Puerto Rico from Las Vegas, Someone that was from Dubai, you know, and it's just about like, engaging in conversation, doing that. Yeah, the student body, There's people from there. Then there's also like these people that I'm out from, like, twenty minutes from home. Can you explain to me a little bit more about the academic climate? Odd at Syracuse? Um, so academic definitely varies. Depending on what school you're in being in new house. It's a lot more project base, so I don't have a CZ much day to day homework or like tests or quiz is. A lot of my grades are dependent upon the videos that produced the work. I show the graphics I designed, you know, all of that stuff. So my climate is a lot different from someone That's like an engineering who's like so much based on their lab, so much based on their tests and all of that stuff or it, just like I said, it really depends on what schooling what major you go into. I don't think it's like two Stressful, and it's a big project person with big like I like writings. Do you have any last advice to any high school student that may be watching very. You mean like, what do I know from my dad? Uh, just like so cliche. Be yourself like the genuine and do what you love. Then you'll attract because, like, the moment you try to do things that alright, you is a moment that you start with the wrong people.
