There are continuing educational, social, cultural, and recreational programs to help you make the most of your college experience. You may also consider theme housing, which provides students who share similar interests an opportunity to learn more about their common interests while living together. After your first year, you can live in one of the halls for upperclass students that offer single rooms and suites, and traditional doubles, or on South Campus. This is an area of apartments, townhouses, and three smaller residence halls just 1.5 miles from the Main Campus. The Goldstein Student Center provides a dining area, exercise and recreation area, meeting rooms, and social gatherings places for South Campus residents.
South Campus is served by a free shuttle-bus service.
First and second year students are required to live in Syracuse University housing. However, some of our upperclass students live in fraternity or sorority houses or in apartments in the residential neighborhoods surrounding the University. The variety of choices allows you to try several different housing arrangements and determine which suits you best. Syracuse has five residential dining centers serving students on meal plans that offer a wide variety of menu options daily. Kosher and halal options are also available.
