Syracuse University

Syracuse is a fantastic school and I cannot imagine myself anywehere else. It has truly gave me the tools one would need to thrive after graduation. People there had a work hard/ play hard mentality and it payed off. You certainly cannot even consider Syracuse if you're going to just play. The work here is extremely difficult and almost everyone can attest to that. Thank God I took Ap and IB courses that placed me out of a few classes required for the core. The negative reviews that you read here are reviews you'd see at any other great college. Syracuse is truly a magnificent place for undergraduate study as it prepares you for life and academically puts you in positions in which you'd never thought you'd find yourself. That to me, is the goal of true education and Syracuse University provides that.

Syracuse University was just rated as the number 2 Architecture school for undergrads in the country. This is a very serious school and if you plan on playing around in college, this is not the place for you. Your fellow students will push you in ways you could not imagine. It is also a strong alumni group who will help you find a job once you finish.

Ok so although I am third year architecture student, I have a general idea of how the other programs on campus are and nonetheless they are the best of the best. I personally had a rough start freshman year adjusting and thought it was the school but later learned that thats how freshman year is for most if not all. You are likely to experience it be it at Syracuse, NYU, Brown or Amherst. Now that I am in my third year, I cannot be more grateful for what Syracuse have given me thus far in terms of preparation for post-graduation, networking opportunities and most importantly the opportunity for me to attend such a wonderful and esteemed University. This includes admissions and a great financial aid package for the three years I've been here. I am studying abroad to Hong Kong my first semester Senior year and SU definitely have helped me with funds to go abroad and words just cannot express how much gratitude I have. I'd say for those who have already been admitted into SU or thinking of applying, definitely go ahead. It will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.
