What impressed you positively?

The sincerity of the staff, faculty, students. Definately the most friendly Admissions people. Really down to earth and their interest in students with a warm personality and good heart shows in their staff. They were really genuinely nice people. All around great people.

What impressed you negatively?

The anatomy lab was a bit weak when I saw it last year, but they are redoing it as I write this....suggestion....lots of ventilation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They no longer show preference to State residents. It only bothered me because that makes things more competitive for me. But it also adds a new dimension to the class. So if i get in than I am in favor of it, if I don't than I don't favor it. Hey, what can I say, its the truth.

What are your general comments?

Its a great school in a great location. Walk out of class and go catch a basketball or lacrosse game. Get out of the library on Saturday and go to the Dome for a football game, a few beers and a Dome Dog. Hit Armory Square for some good food, maybe some Dinosaur. Teach and Kaplan class right around the block. There is so much right there and a lot to do in the immediate area. I'm bias because I love Syracuse and I have really fallen in love with the people I have come into contact with at Upstate...not to mention I live close by and it is so damn cheap...NYM and AMC around $33,000...are ya kidding me?
