About
Syracuse University (informally 'Cuse or SU) is a private research university in Syracuse, New York, United States. Its campus sits on University Hill above downtown Syracuse, where the 19th-century Hall of Languages and Crouse College line the brow of the hill and the Quad, anchored by Hendricks Chapel, forms the center of campus life. The university was founded by Methodists in 1870 and admitted women and Black students from its opening, when few American colleges did. It grew into one of the country's larger universities in the early 20th century and became a major research university after World War II, when it also enrolled thousands of veterans under the G.I. Bill, a tradition it continues with programs for veterans and military families.
