surrounding it, school spirit, and traditions it has made over the years. There is a mall close by
and a lot of restaurants near campus. Syracuse is a popular choice for students all around the
world due to it’s community that has been built within the school and after graduating as well.
The university consistently ranks top in its communication school and has a great network for
finding jobs right out of college.
