    Alum : Syracuse University is a wonderful school, and I have no regrets attending, whatsoever. Being at that school helped me get to the place where I am today. I give my overall experience 4 stars because of how my beginning experiences were, first coming to the school.

    I am originally from South Carolina, and moving all the way to New York for college was both exciting and challenging. There was a big adjustment period for me, being in a new place far from home and trying to balance a whole new lifestyle that was different than what I was used to. Getting to know new people, and the nuances of New York life made for a difficult freshman year.

    I say all of this not to discourage, but to give an honest opinion on how my journey began at that school. It was difficult to balance having a new lifestyle so far away and starting fresh at a brand new school. However, I would not change a single thing! Everything happens for a reason, and I am so grateful to have this school underneath my belt!

    Junior : When I went to the University of Utah I hardly knew anybody, but through orientation I became connected with many of my friends which have been closer to me than my high school friends. This school promotes diversity for individuals in all walks of life, which has greatly attributed to my improved self-esteem. Professors are always passionate about the subject which they teach and are sensitive to your personal life. They truly care about their students, despite how big the class may be. The Campus is located on the downtown foothills of the Salt Lake mountains, aesthetically overlooking the city. A student has access to free commute on the UTA Frontrunner, bus, and Trax systems, as well as the Student Life Center gym. This school's student body is highly involved with volunteer, travel abroad, and work opportunities. It's never a dull moment in the student section: the PAC 12-league sports at the U are out of this world! I truly recommend this school for both prestige and experience!
