What school has the better Political Science program? I have been admitted to both schools and cost is not a problem for me so my determining factor is the strength their academics. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Rochester has better academics for sure. And it’s a very flexible curriculum where you can take pretty much whatever you want. It’s not as open as Brown but still very flexible. It ranks much higher than Syracuse. However if you want to go to law school, you need a high GPA and Syracuse would be better for that. If you want a good party scene, go to Syracuse. If you want sick basketball go to Cuse. If you want big Greek life go to Cuse. I think the campus is nicer at Cuse as well. But if your main priority is a strong polisci program go to Rochester. It’s amazing academically.
