Local prospective students weigh in on Syracuse’s Final Four run from Atlanta

“I found out around December that I was going, so I was like, ‘Oh, OK, yeah this is my No. 1 school. I love this school, I bleed Orange from now on.’ But seeing that Syracuse was in the Final Four, I was like, ‘Wow, I’m actually going to a school that achieves stuff.’” -Bilal Vaughn, Atlanta Lauren Murphy | Staff Photographer
On Thursday night, Syracuse University hosted an event dedicated to accepted students from Atlanta. Panelists, including current students, professors and alumni, were on hand to answer any and all questions about SU. With the Final Four just days away — and just down the street — admitted students were excited to know their possible future school had a shot at a national championship. For some, it even solidified their decision to attend.
