Syracuse University, the City of Syracuse, and the beautiful surrounding areas of Central New York offer a wide variety of academic clubs, outdoor activities, and cultural arts and entertainment.

Located in the geographic center of New York State, Syracuse is a scenic treasure amid rolling hills, tranquil lakes and picturesque forests. Our changing seasons allow for colorful autumns, and winter snows transform our gently rolling hills into a perfect playground for winter sports enthusiasts. Our strategic location at the crossroads of New York State puts us within only five hours of nearly every major eastern metropolitan area, including New York City, Boston, Toronto, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.
