Oswego is pretty strong academically, especially in the Schools of Business and Educations. It has a lively social life with a lot of campus events and tons of bars. Overall, it is a great party school where you can still get an education and enjoy the experience of being away from home.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
One of the biggest pain in the butts at this school is scheduling. So, when registration time rolls around, make sure to be on top of your game and meeting with your advisor to make sure you are getting into the right classes. Also, NEVER sign up for a class without looking up the professor at ratemyprofessor.com. And finally, live on west campus if you're trying to party!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Wide grade range accross the entire student population but classes can be rigorous at times, but it often depends on the professor.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Live on west campus if you're trying to party, but avoid Oneida Hall. Avoid Waterbury and Scales as they are extremely old and the only two dorms not connected to a dining hall. Funelle Hall isn't bad because it is in the center of campus. Hart Hall is as well but it is the international student dorm which means there are a lot exchange students living there. Also, if you're a freshman, don't live in Johnson. They'll treat you like babies and everyone else will make fun of you.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Overall, food on campus is good; better than most would expect. Laker Dining Hall is one of the best and newest. Good food and there main special is Chinese and they usually have stir fry and pizza's made to order. Cooper Dining Hall's special is the Cooper Creamery, which has great ice cream. Pathfinder has an awesome grill with made-to-order burgers, quesedillas, etc. And Little Page isn't bad.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Party! Drink! Tons of bars and lots of frat parties. Also a lot of campus events if you're not a drinker.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Lake Ontario! Main highlight of campus, easily. Gorgeous when it's nice out and when it's cold the lake turns into gian ice mountains.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
TONS of student organizations!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Lots of fraternities and sororities.
