MA in Economics - Batch of 2026

3.8

The university is quite industry relevant and it is very career oriented.

Tips: Syracuse University is quite good for certain fields such as Data Science, STEM and communications. The university is quite industry relevant and it is very career oriented which is what brought me here. They ensure you are well prepared for the market and professors are also well versed. With the new international student bills and regulations, things have become a lot more complicated than they ever us and hence, it makes it tricky to justify the cost of living and investment put in.

Decent for STEM mainly.

Tips: The only cultural shift I faced here was the fast paced environment and the importance of being politically correct in all settings and times. There will be a lot of walking on campus and the networking potential here is quite promising as well. I have enjoyed my classes as well. Living and rent can be quite costly.

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.

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.

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.
