As a theater student, time spent on campus is limited. The facilities at the drama building / Syracuse stage are good, if a little space-constrained. Dorms, dining halls, etc. are about a mile away from the theater building.

I hear there's a lot of Greek life, but again, as a theater student, your interaction with main campus life is somewhat limited. But there is plenty of involvement to be had within the drama department, so I never felt I missed out on the "traditional" college experience.
