My Visit To Syracuse

247 Words1 Page

I was given an opportunity that most students looking at colleges didn't have, I had the opportunity to live with my brother for a week at Syracuse.This was the best college visit I had ever done because I got to see exactly what student life was like, something that no tour that I have taken has given me thus far. My visit was at the right time because school spirit was at an all time high. The basketball team was on their way to the final four, so everyone was incredibly proud to be a part of the Syracuse Orange. In addition to this I really felt as if I was home, even though I was 14, I did not feel out of place once. Everyone I came into contact with was genuinely nice. Students walking around campus were always smiling and laughing.
