• The monthly rent is $600, excluding utilities. The utilities cost around $100 per month.
• I started looking for houses in June, due to which there were not many options left, as many students had booked the better houses and I had to settle for a house far away from the college.

As of 2025, the US market is still very tough, but students are getting jobs, I'd say around 40% of students are getting jobs post graduation. The average salary is around 80k-85k. They need to apply through Handshake or LinkedIn as soon as a job posting appears.

There are so many websites to find accommodation, you can try UHA or SQL to find your accommodation. You need to do your research to properly find a house which suits your preference, try to look for a house which is near to a bus stop & grocery shop as it'd be difficult in winter season to walk outside.

The placements abroad don't really work like in India. You are responsible for getting a job in the US. The university provides you with resources like Career Fairs, and Career Advisors that give you an exposure to the hiring process and their expectations. There are Entrepreneur Hubs to bring your business ideas into action as well. With all this provided, it is the student's responsibility to fill in as many applications possible and ensure the jobs align with their purpose.

I chose this university because the university excels in providing a quality student experience. It also had professors with incredible backgrounds and experience. The infrastructure and maintenance helped me believe in the university's seriousness in delivering a healthy environment to students. On top of all that, the university provided me with a huge scholarship that aided my financial constraints.

There is usually one career fair for every semester and nearly 200 companies visit. They provide some amazing networking opportunities but no job is guaranteed unless you are skilled. The value of a master's degree from Syracuse University is very high and students who graduate from Syracuse are well respected in the industry. I got an internship in the Summer, and the job opportunities are entirely dependent on the student's skills and hard work and efforts.

I got a teaching assistantship, which provided a huge scholarship along with a monthly stipend. This was a major factor that influenced my decision, and along with this iSchool from Syracuse has an excellent program for Data Science. It is very flexible and has amazing professors.

Since the university is in a small city, not many opportunities are present but since there is a big microchip company micron facility coming up chances are higher for post-study placement.

I chose this university as one of the senior completed his master's from the same university and the university was reputable. Plus the buildings were old school like Hogwarts. Also, some scene from Star Wars was shot outside the stadium called Carrier Dome.

The placements are very good all big firms and fresh company participate in that and career fairs are frequently organized.

Overall my experience was one of the best periods and I made many friends. The winters were really tough, summer were really fun but mostly quiet due to holidays but overall it is a remembering memory.

Employers - In all the IT companies Syracuse University alumni are there. This is a very reputed university. The median Package is $110000 per year. Tips to go about job hunting. From day one start applying offline through Linkedin.

For the admission, I gave the GRE exam and TOEFL. I have written a Statement of Purpose and have taken letters of Recommendations from three of the professors who were my mentors and educational advisor during my undergraduate.

Beautiful campus, good location, sports, and school pride, and of course great academics. The housing is great and the student body is diverse enough and is the faculty. It has a good enough reputation and a great social life.

As per the feedback given by seniors post-study placements are really good. Before and after coming to college I would advice every student to update LinkedIn and get in touch with seniors.

I got a great feedback about the course from seniors and that made me apply for this university.
