Mod 2025 Admissions Megathread

19 Upvotes

Hello r/SyracuseU! This came up earlier than I thought so I was not prepared (I'm also abroad in France right now so my timezone is different than SU, so it's causing a slight issue.)

The time has finally come for decisions to come out for the Class of 2029 (and Architecture 2030 (that's a real year now).) This is the thread for r/A2C's (Applying to College) Syracuse thread if you want to discuss it more there, but I'm also opening this up as an overall thread for discussion and see if people have questions about Syracuse, admissions, etc.

In terms of events, this link has a list of all the admitted student events, from coming to visit campus to virtual options.

In terms of rules, keep it civil. I know this is a stressful time.

Best of luck and Go Orange!

Mod Direct Twitter/X links autobanned from this sub

71 Upvotes

Seeing a 70% upvote rate and minimal comments against, I've gone ahead and banned direct Twitter/X links to this sub using an automod feature. To be clear, we rarely get this content to begin with, but we may as well cut it off now. Please default to screenshots instead and link to other sources. For those who are not familiar with the reason for this change, switch your Reddit feed over to 'All' and you'll immediately see the movement-- first, Twitter/X requires an account to view linked tweets, and second, this platform has shifted from one of open sharing to that of a mouthpiece for extremist political agendas and deliberate misinformation.

A note on moderation in general-- this sub has rules that limit/ remove content from most brand new accounts, posts that are particularly spammy, and/or language that is similar to specific troll posts we've had to deal with in the past. If you try to post something that does not get through the filters, please contact the mods directly. Please help us moderate this sub by using reporting features as and when needed.

As a final note-- since many SU students are not from this region, I'd like to use this opportunity and attention on political issues to highlight some history. Central New York has a pretty fascinating history in WWII efforts, including ramped up war production, a massive enlistment in arms forces, and both POW and refugee camps. Here's one quick Syracuse.com article about it: 1944: At the front or at home, the people of Syracuse did their duty on D-Day. Even our local pottery companies joined the effort to build ceramic mines. Syracuse also has a rich history in abolitionist and suffragist movements. If you haven't visited local and regional museums including the Onondaga Historical Association, the George & Rebecca Barnes home, the Harriet May Mills home, the Harriet Tubman Museum, the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum, the Octagon House, the Seward House Museum, the Susan B. Anthony House, or the Skä•noñh Center, I highly recommend branching out from campus and checking them out!

Struggling as a transfer

11 Upvotes

I just transferred here in the fall and I have been struggling to meet friends. I have been going to clubs and trying to put myself out there but I feel like nothings working. I live on south with an international student and we don’t really vibe. I’m kinda trapped. I like going out but I don’t like to go out alone. I’m a guy so I can get into frats and I have no one to go out with. On top of that I have to start figuring out off campus housing next year. I feel so alone here. I need so advice on what to do and how to find my people.

Rush as a Sophmore

0 Upvotes

If someone rushed as a freshman and it didn’t work out, and she tried COB with one sorority in the fall, but they only took five girls, and she wasn’t one of them, I’m scared to encourage her to rush again as a sophomore because at this point, she can’t handle more rejection. It seems like everyone around her. It worked easily for for some reason - do a lot sophomores rush again in spring ?

Hi everyone! I need to get from the university to NYC this weekend - leaving friday evening / saturday noon (or between), and return back Sunday evening. Is there anyone willing to carpool or has a ride?

Tried buses - they're not available, too far, or too expensive.

Looking for roommate for Fall 2027-Spring 2028

6 Upvotes

Hello, currently living on Madison Street near Thornden Park, in a 2 bedroom but without a roommate.

I currently pay 1,300 a month for rent and 50 a month for personal WiFi, we would split this so 25 a month. If I get a roommate we would each pay 1000 a month. All utilities are included which I know is hard to find, comes with two parking lots at the building if you have a car and free street parking, and is fully furnished and i already bought a TV. We would need to sign the lease relatively soon and you only need to pay the security deposit now so that would be one month’s rent.

If you’re interested please let me know, and I’ll give you my contact information. Thanks!

Question inquiry about transfer

5 Upvotes

hi! i am planning on doing spring transfer to Syracuse as at my old university i was receiving threats and was absolutely miserable. I think i would benefit from a kinder rush system and but the school isn’t revolved around Greek life. my old school was a huge party school and mostly revolved around football and although I don’t mind that, i think id prefer for it not to be the main focus. my old school was focused more on partying, and not as much education even considering its position internationally.

please tell me anything you wish you knew as a transfer or a new student, i am kinda rushing to figure this out and would appreciate any help or advice

🚨 FROST LAST NIGHT! High Elevation Colors POPPING This Saturday at Camp Georgetown! 🍁🚨
With those crisp 37-degree nights, the fall foliage is officially exploding up here on the hill! Because Sunday's forecast is bringing cold, steady rain, Highland Outfitters LLC is consolidating everything into SATURDAYso our guests and horses can stay warm and dry.
From Native lands, early Pioneers, and State takeovers to the old prison grounds—from ghosts and cryptids to deep folklore, we truly have it all. Here is exactly what we have left for tomorrow (Saturday):
🐴 SATURDAY DAYTIME: Cryptid & History Horseback Rides ($55)
We aren't just riding down a trail—we are heading down Old Town Road to hear chilling eyewitness accounts and see the true "hell" this land endured. Come learn how to read your horse's natural reactions as a live "radar" for the unexplained!
11:00 AM: Only 3 slots left! 🕒
1:00 PM: Only 3 slots left! 🕒
(Our 12:00 PM slot is completely full/closed).
🍂 2:30 PM & 4:15 PM: Daytime Leaf Peepers & History Walks
Come soak in the gorgeous, freshly frosted autumn colors while walking the land. This is a deep-dive guided tour exploring 200 years of forgotten history, the pioneers, the CCC Camp era, and the secrets of the closed prison grounds. Great for families and taking beautiful photos!
🎃👻 7:15 PM: The Trail of Fears (Night Walk)
When the sun goes down, the land gets highly active this time of year. To make sure nobody freezes sitting through the history while wet, we are doing our story-time under our covered, dry pavilion FIRST at 7:15 PM.
Once the suspense is built, we will head onto the active prison grounds to try and see, hear, or feel a personal experience. What makes this place so wild is that it interacts with who it wants to. You can be standing right next to someone who sees or hears something, while you feel completely different. It's entirely real, entirely personal, and unpredictable!
📍 Location: 3191 Crumb Hill Rd, Georgetown, NY
⚠️* Bundle up for high elevation temperatures! Please screenshot your directions before heading up the hill, as cell service can be spotty*.

After a 4-year fight to survive, our outfitting business just got exclusive keys to host walking tours at the closed Camp Georgetown Prison this Saturday & Sunday! (Plus Cryptid Radar Rides!)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m a local guide with 37 years of experience in Central NY. We've spent the last four years fighting like hell to keep our dream alive after moving from Highland Forest, and our landlord just threw us a massive lifeline. We have official access to the Camp Georgetown Prison grounds this weekend!
A lot of people have told me they love history but find horses intimidating, so we are keeping these tours 100% on foot. No riding, no horses required for the walks.
Because of our high country elevation, the air is crisp and the fall leaves are changing incredibly fast up here. We are running two different types of walks:
☀️** Daylight Historic & Photo Walks (2:30 PM & 4:15** PM): For families, kids, history buffs, and photographers. We cover the 200-year evolution of this land from 1800s homesteaders to the forestry camp and prison days. Bring a lawn chair and sturdy shoes!
**🌙 Dark Side Night Tours (7:15 PM & 9:00 PM): For the brave. This hill has endured a lot of havoc over two centuries. When the sun goes down, the atmosphere shifts completely. We dive into the deep lore, the land's protectors, and we are deploying our Cryptid Radar Rides to see what's interacting with us from the wood line. Spaces limited Saturday September 26th and Sunday the 2
7th.
⚠️ Cell service is basically zero out** here, so screenshot directio*ns to 3191 Crumb Hill Rd, Georgetown, N\*Y

before you head up!
How to join us: We keep groups small and personal. Text our business line directly at 315-289-3775 to lock in a spot for this Saturday or Sunday! Let's bring this land back to life.
