Do you think the historic buildings on the SU campus are appreciated?
‘I think sometimes they get overlooked, but the fact that we’re still using them and haven’t replaced most of them means that they’re appreciated.’
Fletcher SchmidtUndecided Arts and Sciences junior
‘I know they’re doing a lot of renovations like in Tolley. I personally certainly appreciate them. I like all the ivy and all of that. It looks pretty.’
Ruben HortensiusJunior aerospace engineering major
‘When I’m out with my friends at night, we’ll go by them and say, ‘Oh, that looks really pretty tonight.’ So yeah, I think they are.’
Stef Tinti Freshman Arts and Sciences major
‘No, I don’t think they’re appreciated for the simple fact that I think everyone just walks by them without thinking twice about what they’re walking by or what those buildings symbolize.’
Wanjira LongauerUndecided Human Services and Health Professions freshman
‘I didn’t even know Syracuse University had historic buildings.’
Alex VelanovichUndecided Arts and Sciences freshman
‘You know what, I don’t’ know. I’ve never actually taken the time to look at the buildings really.’
Brian RedheadSophomore accounting major
‘I think that is the type of thing that kids take for granted once they’re here. But that people who visit the school and alumni who come back for their 40- or 50-year reunions really do appreciate them.’
Scott ForgitFreshman French major
‘I think if people put more (information) into the newspapers so that students could know about (the buildings), they would appreciate them more.’
