Too early to say how many will close over the next 1 years but it will be plenty. Syracuse will survive but it will have to reduce size and programs. Big expansion plans will get shelved. This will happen across all schools outside HPYSM.


The colleges need to veer a bit right to the middle and away the crazy far left panic over the environment and population control that they have been preaching the past 2-3 decades. They need to moderate their teachings instead of scaring everyone into not having children.

They are a very large school. A $2.2 billion endowment really isn’t all that much for them.


They have 22k students, 100k/per student, can't hold much longer.


I just wonder if these struggling schools should just drop their tuition 20%, instead of charging close to $100,000 them giving significant financial aid to half the class.

The price tag chases off everyone but the very rich and very poor.

Theater.

Their theater program is quite strong.

UVM has a great location.

They have Morristown, Potsdam, and Binghamton, which are pretty blah. How would this work? Syracuse would probably get to keep its endowment like UVA, and the admin systems would merge into SUNY, which *in theory* could save a lot of money, sort of like a corporate merger. I think U of R is also on that list.


I do not see U of Rochester merging into SUNY. Whatever makes you say that?

Syracuse is ranked <<< compared to Rutgers though the college experience may be better because Rutgers campus sucks.


Sorry but Rutgers isn't remotely as good as Syracuse. Keep dreaming.

Rutgers ranked 42
Syracuse ranked 75


Public school....UC Merced class. Enough said

If outcome of UC Merced grads is good (social mobility) then it makes sense. Also, it's much cheaper than Syracuse, with better weather.


So UC Merced is on par with Syracuse now?


I would not think a kid going to either school is that exceptional, the syracuse kid is probably richer.

Exactly. the reason why Merced does better in the rankings is because of social mobility. Basically what pp stated.. kids at Syracuse are just wealthier. That's it.

This made me laugh, because I went to Syracuse and it was truly the best 4 years of my life... Snow and all.


I didn’t go to Syracuse but have several friends who did, and almost everything they wear is orange. The cult of Syracuse is strong, lol.

There’s not really evidence that there’s a flood
