Colleges and Universities A-Z Syracuse University

I just got accepted to Syracuse iSchool. I applied Syracuse because I got an email from Syracuse and they talked about their iSchool. It really attract my attention to the school and this is the main reason why I applied Syracuse. Now I am accepted, I just want to ask current or past iSchool students some questions about iSchool. I know the Syracuse website offers information about iSchool, but sometimes college only post good reviews.

  1. Does every get to go on the "Spring Break in Silicon Valley" trip?
  2. How is the experience for EuroTech or AsiaTech?
  3. Is iSchool stressful? Like is work load manageable?
  4. I heard iSchool is a fairly smaller community at Syracuse, does anyone know the exact population of iSchool?
  5. Does iSchool receive a fair amount of support from Syracuse?
  6. Is it hard to get internship, job, or go into a good grad school?
  7. Pros and Cons of iSchool.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my questions and answering them!

yeah, I went and toured the iSchool and they talked a lot about how to use computers to deal with a lot of data. They said many times that you will not do any coding, and if thats what you’re interested in, apply to the school of engineering. The iSchool is a small, close knit community it seems, and a lot of people seem to enjoy it / do dual programs with it.

so what kind of software they use when they deal with data?
