Are Open Houses offered during the fall and spring?
Orange Previews are offered during the fall, winter and spring. If you attend, plan to spend four to five hours on campus exploring all that Syracuse University has to offer. You can meet with admissions representatives, visit your college of interest to hear from faculty and current students, enjoy lunch in one of our food courts or cafes, take a walking tour of campus and visit a residence hall. Register for an Open House.
Will I be able to tour a residence hall?
Yes, residence hall rooms are included as part of the campus tour.
What is included on a campus tour?
Campus tours are led by our U100 student ambassadors and include various stops in academic buildings, along with facts about Syracuse University's history and traditions. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. If anyone in your party needs special transportation or other accommodations, we're happy to help, but please let us know ahead of time.
Where is the Admissions parking lot?
Parking will vary depending on whether you are visiting on a Saturday, weekday or for an Orange Preview. Find out more about where to park when you visit campus.
Where are some good places to eat?
Marshall Street is located just a few steps from campus and provides a variety of quick service options; also, you might enjoy eating in a campus dining hall. Overnight visitors may want to visit Armory Square or other areas downtown for dinner; please see our staff for recommendations.
Where can I spend the night when I visit?
There are a variety of hotels and motels both on campus and nearby. View more information about accommodations.
How close is the airport/train and bus station?
Syracuse is served by most major airlines, Amtrak and Greyhound Bus. Hancock International Airport and the Regional Transportation Center are only a few miles from campus and are served by taxis.
Can I talk with current students during my visit?
Yes, you will have the opportunity to speak with current students during your visit. All campus tours are led by our U100 student ambassadors and you'll often find students participating in many of the information programs.
Can I meet with someone regarding my specific academic area of interest?
Yes, we encourage students to visit their college of interest when visiting Syracuse. Students often make arrangements to meet with a college representative or professor to learn more about their program of interest, tour facilities, or even sit in on a class. Several of our colleges also offer daily information sessions specific to their programs. When you call to register for a campus tour or information program, we will be happy to assist you with making an appointment at one of the individual colleges. You may also contact your college of interest directly to schedule an appointment.
When is the best time to visit campus?
The best time to visit campus is when classes are in session—that way you can see the campus in action. However, we understand that this may not be possible for you and your family. Many students visit during the summer and our office is also open most days during winter break.
