<p>I think it's that guy... wolves something. He's at Indiana right now.</p>
<p>I remember browsing Syracuse's forum and reading how he opted out of Syracuse because his intended major, sports management, was limited at Syracuse.</p>
<p>Ok. I hope I can give you good insight about Syracuse, because I live about 15 minutes away in the suburbs, and basically my entire family went there (I personally don't want to go to school 15 minutes away from my family, but I'll still end up applying next year).</p>
<p>If you're going to major in Sports Management, I'm guessing you'll be in the Whitman School of Management, which is a highly regarded business program at SU and the country. First off, let me say that the newly designed school of management building is by far one of the most beautiful buildings on campus. It is a somewhat competitive program, but it's not extremely selective, or a lot harder to get into than the College of Arts and Sciences. The facilities and classrooms are state of the art, and the resources are definitely there. The program is probably exactly what you're looking for: Academically well-regarded, and someone [not too] selective/competitive. </p>
<p>Social life at SU is the "ideal" and perfect college experience. SU Basketball is a huge ordeal, and everyone is an Orangemen fan [mascot]. People at syracuse are involved and there always seems to be something going on at campus. There is definitely a lot of greek life, frats and sor. all over the place, yet it does not completely dominate the social scene, so its nice if you do or you dont. There's not really a typical student at SU, but it is a typical campus life, so diversity is of course apparent in the student body. If I ever go up to campus for a journalism conference at newhouse or just to cut through to downtown syracuse, I will see a lot of good looking girls (I personally would say there's quite a bunch of them). </p>
<p>I'm not too sure on the financial aid. The tuition/R&B pricetag is around $40,000 , yet Syracuse seems to be good about awarding aid, at least to my knowledge. I wonder if there's any Syracuse CC's who might read this thread and let you know.</p>
<p>Don't work for MTV. Please. Put any skill you might have to use in something socially and fiscally productive like a sports team or whatever. Just not MTV.</p>
<p>Have you ever watched an episode of Room Raiders or Pimp my Ride on MTV? If you have intelligence, you'd be much better served at another company.</p>
<p>They prove the striking stupidity of American society. Shows like that are the reason I feel the U.S. is on an intelligence decline. I mean honestly, I doubt they have Pimp my Ride Beijing or Pimp My Ride New Delhi.</p>
<p>The Sports Management program at Syracuse is in it's first year of existence, meaning it has no developed connections through it's alumni network, it doesn't have agreements with corporations (although they are trying to do so), and the professors in the program aren't top rate. It's not located in the Whitman school of business, few sport management programs in the country actually allow you to get a Bachelor's in business with a major in Sport Management, rather Sport Management programs are almost always in a health science related school or even education.</p>
<p>If you want to work for the Chargers, i'd suggest SDSU. They have connections with the San Diego Chargers through their MBA program in Sport Management, and SDSU is well respected in the city of San Diego. The majority of hiring of interns for athletic teams comes from local programs, as teams do this from a PR perspective. You don't have to get a degree in Sport Management to work for sports, degrees in Marketing, Accounting, Finance, or even general Business. Communications degrees are also good.</p>
