Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Economics  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Syracuse University is an amazing school to attend especially if you're going into the field of Journalism or Business. The myriad of job offers waiting for juniors and seniors and even some sophomore is worth the 4 years here at SU. I would not trade my undergraduate experience at this school for any other institution. Syracuse University also is one of the most fahsionable schools out there. Unfortunately the people in the surrounding city is flawed in attire also. But overall, like any other institution, SU is what you make of it.

Most of the people that go to SU aren't even people, their just a bunch of clothes. No f-ing personality, no sense of humor, just dumb people who think their funny because everyone laughs to cover the uncomfortable feeling of talking to these mannequins. Sorority girls are dumb and frat guys are assholes, the two only attract each other. The city is a sh*t hole and the weather sucks too. Professors aren't bad however, but not worth it considering the other agony you will suffer over other things. I still can't get over how annoying must of the students are, if your intelligent, confident, curious and friendly they'll make you want to shoot yourself. Im so glad I left!!!

Everything I learned in the department was pretty basic (e.g., programmed instruction, which became the basis for a behaviorist approach to instructional design), but there was no real focus. The one project where I really learned a great deal was the dissertation. My advisor was not from Instructional Technology; he was a sociologist, and the experience he provided made me wish I had gotten the Ph.D. in sociology and gone on to doing research using the same participant observation research techniques I learned there. It would mean doing such research from a teaching position at a university. I believe I could have gotten a number of books out of it because I think I could have been happy doing that and would have been good at it. As it turned out, I got a series of schlub jobs where I contributed little and learned little. I realize the department is very different now, and instructional technology has taken on a new importance since the advent of the personal computer. The one caution I would issue anyone going into any graduate program at Syracuse, or elsewhere, is this: do your research first and, no matter how much you think you may love a given major, determine what kind of job you would likely get coming out of that program. If you're paying full tuition at Syracuse and you're majoring in Education, figure out whether it's worth it to spend $70,000 to get that degree, knowing you're going into a field with little or no monetary reward.
