Syracuse University

Syracuse University, in central New York, is a hilltop campus where school pride runs deep and snow is a way of life. Orange spirit shows at basketball and lacrosse games in the Dome stadium, and the Newhouse School is among the best-known communications programs in the country, with a loyal alumni network in media. The Maxwell School for public affairs and the Whitman School for business are also strong. If you want big sports energy and a path into media or public service, Syracuse is a natural fit.
