Hi all,
Trying to figure out dorms at Syracuse for freshman son. His classes will be in Whitman and iSchool. Location wise, Watson, Ernie Davis, Haven, and DellPlain look best. Does anyone have advice or recommendations? Would prefer mostly freshman but some upperclassmen fine. Probably a split double but need to look more closely. Not sure which have been renovated.
Syracuse assigns housing randomly. The only variance would be if the student chooses a Living Learning Community, or is in the Honors program. Honors and LLCs are located in specific dorms, and you will know which dorm before you have to sign up for an LC. So one way to game the system and get into the dorm of choice (or avoid a specific dorm) is to choose an LLC or be in Honors. Honors students are currently housed In Sadler, unless they choose a different LLC.
Also, Watson and Ernie Davis are almost all upperclassmen.
