    "I’ve lived in the township of Oswego for over 25 years. Our area has the peaceful beauty of country living, yet less than 5 miles from the college. Although most of the lawns are measured in acres, all the neighbor’s mow their yards on a regular basis. In the rural area, there are no sidewalks, but that does not stop people from walking or biking. Neighbors are friendly and eager to lend a helping hand. Excellent place to raise a family."

SUNY Oswego has an excellent facility and is a good community partner. Many opportunities for volunteerism. Scriba, Oswego city, Minetto, Oswego Town - are all desirable and Scriba has the lowest taxes currently. "
