[quote=Anonymous]When I was applying to college in the 1980s, my father had one requirement: he told me that I had to apply to a school that had a very good alumni network. He had gone to Washington University in St. Louis and had never gotten any help from anyone in terms of finding a job. My mother went to NYU and had the same experience.

I went to Syracuse and for the last 35 years I have had more connections in more industries than anybody else that I know. The alumni network is rabid, in a very good way.

I do agree that the two best schools at SU aer Newhouse and Whitman which is the business school. I know three kids who graduated from Whitman, oneis at Goldman Sachs, one is at Louis Vuitton, and the third is working at Madison Square Garden.

I think it’s important for people to think about where they will be employed after college. Rochester does not have a very enthusiastic alumni network, Syracuse does.  They will hire a Syracuse alum over anybody else, and they have a very wide network across the country. Alumni help is something that should be factored in to a college decision.[/quote]
