Statement Of Purpose: Syracuse University

As I’ve gotten older, I realize that my parents have sheltered me for majority of my life. And while I haven’t been handed things on a silver platter, I’m still quite dependent on them. However, when I started my college process, I decided that I wanted to become independent of my parents. Because of this, I began looking at schools on the east coast, specifically Syracuse University. While researching Syracuse University, I became very interested in how balanced the diversity on campus is as many students come from all over the country and have different racial backgrounds as my current school has that balance. I also began researching the student to teacher ratio as I wanted a school where I could easily reach a faculty member if necessary.
And while Syracuse University offered all of these things I wanted, it was the fact that Syracuse offers so many club opportunities for people to join that finalized my decision to apply to this university. Whether I want to discuss hot topics regarding diversity with the Conversations at Syracuse University club or I want to give back to the community through training dogs with the Service Dogs at Syracuse club or I just want to creatively express myself in the Femme Noire club, there’s always a place for me and my interests.
