First, general pros:
Resources of a large school–huge variety of student orgs, interests, tons of classes to choose from, AMAZING faculty, and a fantastic honors program.
General cons:
The city of Syracuse shuts down when it’s nhot either working hours or partying hours…which is a little disappointing, but if you’re not looking for another NYC then it’s not a huge prob.

For you–
Pro–honors is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and the opportunity to have Maxwell faculty (#1 in the nation!) for your IR/soc classes would be pretty much unbeatable.
Con–clearly the distance…Hancock isn’t much of an airport so you’d probably want to look to Roch or Buffalo to make flights cheaper, and you can always find someone driving from one of them. Or there’s the train–the station is right next to the mall and there’s a free shuttle.
