Just for the sake of defending the antagonizer, who is being a bit harsh - Syracuse does kind of suck (for certain reasons).  :)

I love it, but I went to school here.  I'm not sure if you lack any tangible connection (i.e. didn't grow up upstate, go to school upstate, etc...) that you could get much joy out of it - unless you really love drive and depart type living.  There is nothing wrong with that if it's your thing btw.

It's got to be one of the least walk-able cities you could find.  Also, the way they tore down James Street, etc...has left the city with little of the history that give people a warm-fuzzy feeling.  Even the campus is easily one of the worst if you're just a visitor/civilian you could ever witness at a legit school.  Which isn't to say people don't love it, but if you're driving in from Madison, WI, or somewhere like that, you're jaw probably drops at the sight of it.  lol

Anyway, this is more for an off-topic thread.  I love Syracuse, think it has a lot of potential, and I do like the way downtown is revitalizing, Armory Square is fine, people are moving in as fast as housing can go up, so I think the tide is turning, which is awesome, but that's my perspective on the city.  :)   If you're a sociable person though, and have friends, it's great.  Anywhere is if you have that stuff though.
