description: Introduction from the AuthorSyracuse University may mean different things to different people. To the sports fan, hearing Syracuse will bring up images of SU’s championship basketball team and superstars like Carmelo Anthony, Gerry MacNamara, and Hakim Warrick. For others, hearing Syracuse will automatically bring up thoughts of upstate New York and snowy winters.The true draw of Syracuse University is becoming what is probably the most important part of any its academics. SU is ranked among the top 50 colleges in the US, and its prestige is growing. Within SU are many well-renowned individual colleges like Newhouse School of Communications, Architecture, Management and Information Studies. These colleges, as well as the five other SU colleges, are very reputable in the academic community. SU has also made it its goal to become the nation’s leading student-centered research university.Over the past few years, SU has looked to raise its academic standards. As a result, the admittance rate has actually gone down. This means it is more difficult to get into Syracuse University, and the class sizes have dropped, as well. One thing that is never falling off is the rate at which SU builds new buildings and renovates old ones.If you’re interested in SU, you probably already know a little about its academic standing, athletic prowess, and poor weather. You also probably have a lot of questions associated with the school. What is the social scene like? How are the dorms? What are some fun things to do around Syracuse? But, the biggest question you should be asking yourself is a big do you want to spend the next four years of your life at SU? Although not an easy question to answer, this book will provide you with valuable, real information from someone who has not only had to make that very decision, but is currently a student at SU. Hopefully, this book will give you the insight you need to decide if Syracuse University is right for you.Steve Krakauer, AuthorSyracuse University
