Master of Architecture - Batch of 2026

4.6

Great program if you can afford it without spending all your life savings.

Tips: Really good Architecture programme with two semesters abroad. I studied in London and Florence. It can get expensive. I did receive scholarships of up to 5000 per semester, barely anything. Also got 4000 to support an internship in NYC, which I used for accommodation costs. Transitioning was quite hard the first year - lots of peer pressure to participate in party culture. Lots of clubs and student run organisations, which are great. Great facilities - gym, mental wellbeing, transportation around campus, etc. Architecture professors are very involved and helpful.

Likes (Indian Food): South Indian restaurant in downtown - great food, but a bit far from campus. Good for ordering. Two Indian restaurants on campus, which is not bad. In and around campus (walking distance) has decent options - 7-8 good restaurants and lots of Asian food. Some fast food options and CVS on campus. For groceries, you will require a car/bus ride. I would rather spend the money on Instacart/Uber seats or make friends with a person who owns a car.

Dislikes (Value for money): Too expensive for international students since financial aid is not provided and scholarships are limited through the university for international students. Tuition is too expensive. If your family makes twice the total amount of attending, it is worth it. If you don't have a plan to pay for a 5-year B.Arch programme, consider a cheaper option with similar faculty/values.

Master of Science in Operations Research and System Analytics - Batch of 2027

Lots of things to do here.

Tips: Syracuse has always held a strong reputation especially in terms of academics and the coursework does reflect the same. Labs are great which is a plus if you're research oriented and eager to build a portfolio. Part time jobs for international students are mainly available on campus but these get filled up really fast so you'll have to apply early. Competition is high as well.

Great place to be independent and grow.

Tips: Syracuse has a very liberal mindset, and there are people from all over the country and the world, including Indians. Plenty of Indian food options and restaurants, as well as other cuisines. Rent is on the higher side and the vibe is very fast paced. You are expected to take care of yourself here.

Broadened my horizons and helped me grow.

Tips: Syracuse is much larger than I'd imagine and has students from all across the world. Faculty is also diverse and adequately represented. You will have to learn to advocate for yourself in order to stand out. What I like here is that all our needs are met, be it within classrooms or outside. Before you reach campus, it's a good idea to figure out your housing situation by taking the help of the student communities and befriending your fellow classmates while in India itself.

The campus culture is vibrant and happening with lots of fraternities and sororities.

Tips: I found the university quite promising yet overwhelming at first, but once I got into the flow of things, I really started seeing Syracuse for what it is. If you are planning, come after your undergrad is complete, as that will make more sense. Moreover, the campus culture is vibrant and happening with lots of fraternities and sororities. Networking potential as well.
