Weather at SU?

I know this is somewhat of a silly question, but current and former students: is the weather really as bad as people say it is? My dad grew up outside of Syracuse and he said that there’s rarely a sunny day there. It’s a great school but I feel like it would affect me at least to some degree if it was dark and gloomy all the time. Thoughts?

Hello, I live in the same county as Syracuse and I applied ED. The weather here really is not too bad. Yes, Syracuse is one of the snowiest cities in the U.S., but it is manageable. Honestly, the snow makes the campus very beautiful. In the summer we have a lot of clear days and it does get pretty warm. The gloomy days come often January-April, but the campus makes up for that energy :slight_smile:
