- The Courses and facility for Computer Science/Engineering are very good.
Dislikes
- The on-campus placement drives are not that much favorable to Indian (non-immigrants) students.
- There are sites like Apartment Finder or SU Living, as well as Orange Housing, or private homeowners are also available. Syracuse Quality Living is one such agency that provides accommodation. The rental costs are typically around $ 500-$ 600 per month.

- University as a whole is pretty great.
- The campus is good as well.
- The CS core courses seemed to be a little off the track, but we had multiple good options from the electives.
Dislikes
- The Cybersecurity core courses could have been more cybersecurity focused but I think it is being improved.
- Rental cost can be approximately $500 per month. Yes, there are online platforms for accommodation in your area.

- The college campus is very beautiful. And it gets even better during the winters.
- The college hosts a variety of events including fun and cultural events. They also celebrate Indian festivals so we can experience our traditional festivals away from home.
- They provide us with career guidance where they go through our resumes and help us improve those for us to get a better chance in our job search.
Dislikes
- The curriculum is not that vast. There are very limited courses to select from. I had decided to enroll in some courses back in India but during the time of enrollment, those course were not available.
- The process for applying for a CPT is very bad. Like there is a deadline after which even if you get any internship offer from any company, the college will not be filing your CPT.
- As this is not a state university, the tuition cost is very high as compared to the other universities.
- I surfed the internet to find accommodations in the vicinity of the college. There are plenty of websites that give you information about houses in Syracuse.
- 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.
- I would say find a house that is closer to the university, as if you miss a bus, you can also walk to the college.
- For the first year my house was 30 minutes away from the college, but now I have moved much closer and it is about 10 minutes away.












Likes
- I loved the campus and the professors here
- The like the electives offered
- And the college has many events for Indian students
Dislikes
- No Good food near the college campus
- The city where the college is located, is kinda deserted
- The tuition fee is very high
- I chose off-campus accommodation, found through Syracuse Quality Living, Zillow and whatsapp groups. Rent was around $600, including utilities.
- A challenge was understanding lease agreements, so I recommend starting the search early and joining housing groups on whatsapp or Telegram.
- My place is 20 minutes from campus, and many Indian students stay in areas like University Hill or Westcott.






Likes
- Love the campus facilities (Library, Labs & Beautiful Campus).
- Supportive Community - Everyone is very friendly and helpful from advisors to professors.
- Many extra curricular activities for graduate students.
Dislikes
- One thing I found challenging was weather. Winters can be very harsh with heavy snowfall & freezing temperatures.
- There are few mandatory courses which you need to take even though you're well aware of the content.
- The location of the university.
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.

- To a student who is willing to look for resources to grow in life, Syracuse University is an excellent college to choose.
- The infrastructure is great, and the college environment is designed to aid students in achieving their career goals.
- The university also has facilities like the Barnes Health Center that focus on student's mental and physical health.
Dislikes
- I dislike the climatic conditions in Syracuse. Especially, the harsh winters. Sometimes, the housing is way far from University which makes it difficult to travel.
- With the increase in intake, University is finding it hard to provide employment to all the students.
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.
Likes
- I love the University and all the buildings and infrastructure. Syracuse University is really inclusive and everyone is super nice.
Dislikes
- The thing I dislike the most is the cost of the tuition fee. It's nearly 1900$ per credit now.
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.
Likes
- Plenty of extracurriculars, Enough on-campus jobs, Supportive faculty and administration, Modern facilities
Dislikes
- Not the University's fault, but winters are harsh, too much year-on-year intake leading to cramped spaces.
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.
Likes
- The number of easy on campus jobs available, flexible curriculum, sports and amenities, career guidance in terms of resume building job shortlisting, enhanced alumni networking, career fairs, medical support is provided at ease.
- The value that the course provides, the recognition of engineering management from whitman is very well recognized which further pursued me to get my masters from Syracuse
Dislikes
- Weather conditions get really harsh during winters with extreme snow and wind. Which sometimes adds a lot especially for people or students like me who come from a country like India where weather conditions are not so extreme but it's excuse the summers are really warm but the winters are super cold with a lot of snow.
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.
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.
