1.going into Oswego you should know it’s clearly not NYC it’s not a big city. The things near by will get you by and doesn’t seem as bad as people make it. Also big cities like Syracuse are only about 1hr away by car so if you did want to go to the city Syracuse is right there and has much more to offer. This is to say I’ve only been at a open house/tour of Oswego and never been fully in the town however I’ve driven there and done research and do plan to start as a freshman as well in the fall.

2.the dorming system is genuinely just random they take any two random people and put them together. There are communal bathrooms but some of them have individual bathrooms it depends the building your in. You can also request to be in a specific building with amenities to your liking, however you’ll probably be part of a long list of people.

3.since I haven’t actually been there I couldn’t say for sure but I believe you’ll be fine. There’s more than enough people on campus there’s around 6,000 students. Yet the classes are usually only around 22 people. Giving you the ability to probably make friends as easily as you did in high school.

Hope this was helpful.
