[QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 2843234, member: 504"]
My son is a prof at a Syracuse college (not SU).  His wife is a speech therapist with the Syracuse public school system. The schools are in tough shape. They live just outside the city.  Public schools in suburban Syracuse are ok. His last position was in a fairly isolated southern university. He says that town was generally more sophisticated than Syracuse.

The area around Syracuse has a lot to do.  The restaurants in and around Syracuse are pretty good and almost always busy. Like a lot of cities in the northeast that were manufacturing centers, the center city is hurting. Without SU, it would be much worse. Whether any of these places can recover is open to question. Maybe they should go into coal mining.

The weather is not as bad as all that. A few winters in the last ten years have been worse in CT than in Syracuse. They are great at snow removal. My son’s place is just south of Syracuse. The lake effect snow bands are often more just to the north. Syracuse isn’t high on my list of places to live, but those lists of bad places to live are obviously not a comprehensive picture.
