[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went there and I feel like I can answer most of your questions. Overall, I loved it and can recommend it.

What's the vibe overall - what kind of kid goes there? 
Every kind of kid. Seriously. My good friend has a kid there now, and she described it as a "work hard, play hard" vibe. I think that's true. I was in the journalism school, which is a prestigious program, but let's be honest, not a HARD major. I had great grades and internships, and still had a lot of fun. My friends who were science majors, architecture, etc., probably had to work harder than I did, but they also had a lot of fun.

Mostly upstate NY kids?
Not at all. It draws from the whole country. LARGE numbers from Long Island and New Jersey, but you will find nearly every state represented.

Social scene? 
Very, very social. But diversified. I think it's about 30% Greek. You definitely don't have to join if you don't want to.

Football school? 
Very much so. The games are really fun, even though the team is not that great most years. Basketball games are even more fun, IMO.

I don't imagine this is a school sending many to Wall Street though IDK - I only say that due to distance from NYC, so it's not like internships during the school year are that easy. 
I disagree, although you'd have to look into it since I wasn't a business major. I believe the profile of the business school has risen since I was there. There are sooooo many alums in NYC. I can't imagine this is a problem.

Worth it compared to what you can get in this area - Maryland, Va Tech, Penn State etc? 
Syracuse is VERY expensive. I can't deny that. They used to be generous with merit aid, but I'm not sure about that any more. I think those three schools have a lot of overlap with Syracuse -- a kid who would be happy at one will probably be happy with the others.

I'd add it to your list and go visit.
