The city of Syracuse like all the other rust belt cities is a dump. It is always one of the poorest cities in America every year and with that comes rampant crime and drug use. Almost everyone who has the ability has moved out to the suburbs or beyond. That being said the SU campus is its own world up on the hill and is mostly insulated from the problems of the city. Yes, the two worlds collide occasionally but not frequently enough to scare away possible students and athletes.
Agreed. In my day if we got a summer job or attended summer session classes, that's when we'd have occasion to go see the city itself. Other then that, Syracuse was like a world away from the Hill.
Not true at all. To give you an idea, I saw a stat that ~30% people in the city (adults) of Syracuse have a bachelors degree. You could make the leap just based on that stat that 25% of adults could move out if they wanted to.
Not sure what that 30% does for a living but Syracuse is always near the top of the poorest cities in the county.
Not questioning crime and poverty, but you said most and I’m giving you an idea that likely 25% of well educated people could leave at any time if they wanted to, which disputes your post.
Bino Ransom; its what is missing from Cuse hoops
So you are saying 25% could move out if they want to. That leaves 75% that can’t. I believe 75% qualifies as most people.
You said almost everyone with the ability has moved out, don’t move the goal posts. I gave you a huge chunk of people that have the choice.
Thanks for admitting you were wrong with your embellishment. Accountability is usually something the suburbs is missing.
I don’t live in the suburbs. Thanks for derailing the thread on something unrelated to the discussion. Especially on something considered common knowledge to all but you.
Honestly, I wouldn’t blame you for locking it. He’s going to DePaul and no one can stay on topic, probably because he’s going to DePaul.
Yup. It'll become official in a few days but for now, this thread is just babble.
Nope
