[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is better than Syracuse, I think.  At least, it's much more competitive.  Although Syracuse is in NY, which is better than Virginia.  Other than for tech, I think Syracuse will be way more fun.  But if it's for tech, I think VT is too much better to even consider Syracuse.  [/quote]

Uh, VT is not more competitive than Syracuse.
SU is better known nationally too (although people know about VT for all the wrong reasons--shooting, etc.)

I think it depends on the major too. [/quote]Yep, major is huge.  SU's Newhouse School is very well-regarded but as others have noted, engineering at VT is going to be better.  As I recall SU's School of Visual and Performing Arts is supposed to have a good reputation as well.  The other undergrad programs - I can't say that they really stand out but I haven't been there in quite a few years so I don't know for sure.

Another issue is the weather.  I did my grad work at SU in Maxwell and loved the area but I grew up with the eastern Great Lakes lake effect rain and snow and enjoyed winter sports.  It is cloudy so much of the year that during the winter and spring having a rare sunny day is like doing a fantastic drug.  You just wait all week until that predicted sunny day comes.[/quote]
