Syracuse University Reviews
I have no yet attended Syracuse University but with be this coming fall. So far I have had a great experience as the counselors and staff members are all very accommodating and understanding. I have had connections and my questions answered and have been able to feel confident about my enrollment choice. I also have been given amazing scholarship opportunities. The only thing is that syracuse is adding on more tuition each year so I have to make up a lot of money to graduate without debt. This makes it very stressful to attend.
I like how helpful and involved all staff at the institution is. Particularly the professors though; they all show such caring for their students and try their best to help us succeed.
