THE Hall of Languages Pic: Picture this: You’re on campus for the first time, getting your tour by a U100 member or maybe exploring by yourself. You are in front of the Hall of Languages. You see Syracuse University etched into stone. No matter how hard you tried holding back, you can’t help but throw your body next to those letters, throw a stranger your phone and snap some pictures. Either that or your mom made you take a picture. Whichever way it happened or will happen, make sure you get this quintessential HOL pic.
Student Organizations: With over 300 recognized student organizations, there are a ton of ways to get involved on campus. From media to religion to sports to cultural orgs, you’re bound to find something that interests you.
