Syracuse or Colgate?

<p>I have been accepted to both Syracuse & Colgate and recieved a full ride to both. But, which university is better?</p>

<p>(in terms of academics, people and campus) </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I went to Syracuse many, many moons ago. </p>

<p>If this was my choice, I’d select Colgate. Absolutely beautiful school. Preppy though. </p>

<p>Syracuse is large, much more diverse, and had (has?) a large number of students from LI too.</p>

<p>I will second Colgate!</p>

<p>this is kind of a strange situation. syracuse and cornell are pretty different schools. do you like both environments equally well?</p>

<p>Cornell?
Do you mean Colgate?</p>

<p>Well personally I don’t think this is a question. Colgate hands down. I’m fairly familiar with both schools and I think the academic opportunities at Colgate are so much greater than 'Cuse that I wouldn’t be able to rationalize going to 'Cuse. The only thing SU has that Colgate doesn’t is a big school atmosphere with big sports, but Colgate students go to a lot of athletic events and Colgate is a party school too. </p>

<p>At Colgate you’ll have a much better classroom experience. You’ll know your professors better and the classes are more discussion based (which for me at least is better).</p>

<p>Absolutely Colgate! Syracuse is like going to a state school for much more money. Colgate will give you a better education.</p>

<p>Seriously? I attended Syracuse (also many moons ago) and couldn’t have asked for a better education. Truly loved it. Well…except for the weather.</p>

<p>That said, I would certainly visit both campuses if you haven’t already and talk to some students in your prospective major at each, if possible.</p>
