A town located on Long Island. There are lots of affluent residents and most all have a good amount of money. Houses are ridiculously expensive, with small split-level houses often running for upwards of $650k and houses rarely selling for under $1M in some areas. Taxes are also VERY high.

Syosset is one of the best school districts in the country, with Newsweek magazine ranking Syosset HS as the #42 high school in the United States. Students receive very good grades. College Day at this school is characterized by many students in sweatshirts for Ivy League and other high ranked schools.

Syosset's population is largely Jewish. The kids spend their summers at camp, located often in Pennsylvania and Upstate New York, and weekends spent at least one bar or bat mitzvah. Syosset has a lot of students falling under the "Jewish American Princess" stereotype, usually rich girls, but not all Syosset students are like this. Many are nice, smart, and driven." Syosset also has a huge Asian population, with up to 1/3rd of the student body being of East Asian ancestry. Most of these kids have parents who immigrated to the U.S. from Asia; they rarely speak English and expect highly of their children. Many honors classes at SHS can be found as having a majority Asian population, and these students are obnoxious about their superficial intelligence.

Although Syosset has its ups and downs, it is overall a pretty good place to raise your children, especially if you want them to succeed.
"I went to college at the University of Michigan and my best friend is named Carly Goldman. She's a total JAP, but I love her."

"Is she from Syosset?"

"Yeah! How'd you know?

"My friend at Cornell, David Chung, is from Syosset, too."
