On a campus of approximately 1,800 full time students, the students within the landscape architecture program tend to develop close relationships due in part to the friendly atmosphere of ESF, and in part to the nature of a design curriculum. Students are typically surrounded by their classmates for most of the day, whether in lectures or in studios. Most design projects also require working at night in the studio, so there always seems to be someone around. Projects also frequently require working in groups, and you come to rely on the help and advice of others for all of your projects.
Classes tend to be small, with a low faculty to student ratio.
There are also a number of clubs, organizations, fraternities, sororities, and other social and recreational groups to get involved in. Here's a partial listing of sites providing services. Alteracts -provides information on alternative services for students, including ride services, fax sending and receiving, laser printing, scanning and duplicating. Syracuse University Bookstore -located in Schine Center, offers books and other academic supplies in addition to office and electronic supplies, computer and photo supplies, and SU clothing. Small Stores -In association with the Alumni Association and USA and located in the basement of Marshall Hall.
