Financial aid?

Newhouse Grad here —it is worth it

Previous SU poster here. I agree with a previous poster that the school has many wealthy students. However, I do not agree that you need to be wealthy to fit in. That is simply not true.

Class hate is ugly

30k students in Newhouse? LOL.

Agree that for Newhouse it's worth it.

TONS of paying journalism jobs out there. Booming industry.

Traditional reporting/printwork, no. Digital media, corporate communications, content marketing, Grant writing, etc. are though, and companies always need people who can communicate clearly and concisely. The kinds of skills you learn in journalism school are quite applicable to a variety of different paths.

I know you think you are cute and funny, but your sarcasm shows that you are pretty clueless about these programs and the careers their graduates enter. Most journalism majors are NOT working for newspapers.

I'm not being cute or funny. Those options sound stultifying.

What do you get from dissing someone's career path? Does it make you feel good?

Is Syracuse worth $70k/year? It sounds like it is not.

It is for Newhouse.

Syracuse University was my very first choice because it is large, relatively self-contained campus-based, fun, social, sports-oriented (Carrier Dome) and tons of school spirit. For me, If I had wanted a great city school then I would have chosen a place like NYU, but that is not my scene.

From the perspective of someone who's used to big, grungy cities, is Syracuse really that bad?

I went to Syracuse and although I wasn't ever really a fan of the city of Syracuse, I thought it was better than going to school in a small town (which I also did). Syracuse isn't a cute/pretty city/town but it's still a city, so there's more to do than a small town (like compared to even Blacksburg, Williamsburg or Charlottesville). It isn't maybe "cute" like Williamsburg or Charlottesville but I remember going to minor league baseball games (ok so not major league), theater (although nothing like the Kennedy Center), clubs ... It also is nearby really beautiful outdoors (lakes). I also remember taking day trips to skiing. As for the price and whether it's worth it, that depends on what $70k means to you. I will say that the student body is overwhelmingly wealthy kids. Lots of very rich kids from Long Island. If you're a middle class kid from middle America, you probably wouldn't fit in.

It’s not going to get a lot of respect in the DC area.

I hope you’re sitting down, because this is going to be a huge shock to you. Are you ready?


Wait for it...


People might....gasp...have different interests than you! I know, I know!
