#SUatFirst: Your First Impressions of SU

With prospective students on campus, we asked our students and alumni, "what was YOUR first impression of SU?" We wanted to know what you thought the first time you stepped foot on campus. Some of your responses are below! We loved reading them.

    @SyracuseU I thought "This is a place where I could grow." I was right. #SUatFirst

    @SyracuseU #SUatFirst i thought it was so big and kind of isolating and unfriendly, but then it became my home, with great people :)

    Probably the fact that all the buildings seemed to be designed during a different time period. Pretty cool :) #SUatFirst

    I knew the moment I went for my first visit that I didn't want to be anywhere else. #SUatFirst

    @SyracuseU #SUatFirst In '09 I was amazed at how small it was compared to my undergrad. Came in Mar.; cool & rainy the whole time. Loved it.

    @SyracuseU when I first pulled into BBB, my first thought was "where the heck is the rest of the campus?" #SUatFirst
