<p>I'm having trouble making my decision still, and I want to know why you guys like Syracuse?</p>
<p>Well, I just made my decision today after visiting the campus. Initially I was on the fence between Clark University and Syracuse University. After visiting the campus (which I loved) and speaking with the teachers (which I also loved), I decided it was the right fit. As for majors, I’m interested in International Relations/ Photography, so since I was dually admitted to Newhouse/ School of Arts and Sciences, I figured it was the right place for me.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t know whether you’ve been accepted or not, nor the schools you’re comparing, but I can say that it is a great place. It’s a huge school with a very active and enthusiastic community. But even though it is such a big school - 13,000 undergrads - there is still a sense of community and a clear connection between the students and their teachers. Classes size averages around 28-30 students per class (ignoring the giant first year seminars).</p>
<p>I think the piece that really sold me were the internship/ job opportunities. If you go to Syracuse, you have a serious leg up on the competition. There are TONS of Syracuse alumni in all kinds of fields all around the world. I see endless opportunities.</p>
<p>Anywho, these are just my reflections and why I just recently chose Syracuse. It wasn’t my first choice (in fact, I got rejected by 5 other schools), but it has what I want and is a place where I feel most comfortable- which will be different in comparison, depending on what kind of schools you are comparing and what kind of setting you prefer.</p>
<p>Oh: And Quidditch. I can’t wait for Quidditch.</p>
<p>I’m interested in Intearnational Relations too! But anyways, yes, I’ve been accepted and am going to visit on Thursday and attend a class. I went to a very big high school, so I never wanted to go to a big college like Ohio State. It’s good to know that Syracuse, although it is still big, has a good sense of community. It seems like there is a lot of groups that you can get involved in and find your niche. The people also seem to be a little more down to earth unlike some other schools that I have visited. But thanks for your opinion SuperGT. Maybe I’ll be seeing you around campus :)</p>
<p>Oh, so your in the School of Arts and Sciences too! Cool. Yeah, I really liked their Political Science/ IR professors. I didn’t get to sit in on a class (tell me how that goes), but the professors seemed like nice people, intent on preparing you for the job-world.</p>
<p>Where are you from by the way? The biggest issue for me- with Syracuse that is- was the distance. I come from a tiny town in Maine (I have 100 people in my graduating class). So I was concerned about the 9 hour drive/ 13,000 undergrads. But it just seemed like a nice fit.</p>
<p>Anywho- No problem 
Hope to see you around.</p>
