Activities

A typical day in Summer College at Syracuse University mirrors a day in the life of a college first-year student; breakfast in a residence dining hall in time to get to class, a class schedule that varies according to the academic program, and lunch and dinner with fellow students in the dining hall. Special activities typically include academic field trips, an ice cream social, a talent show, a semiformal dance, field trips to amusement parks and beaches, and picnics. In addition to planned group activities, Summer College students have access to the University's swimming pools, tennis courts, computer clusters, gyms, game rooms, and an ice rink.
