Undergraduate / Highly ranked programs - Why Syracuse Essay (250 max) [4]
My junior year I played around with a college search site, usually stuck to looking at schools along the west coast but I was compelled to look at schools in New York. Expecting to find schools in New York City, I came upon Syracuse. The highly ranked architecture program was what first got me to look deeper into the university and I started to look if it was a match for me. The number of opportunities for global studies, the dedication to students through programs such as AIAS, and the pride the school held in itself had me imagining what it would like to be apart of that. After talking about the school and answering Syracuse to the "Where are you going to college?" question, my parents decided we had to visit. The visit to the campus cemented my belief that the university was right for me. The history behind the school as well as the atmosphere had a great influence on my application. The size of Syracuse is what I believe will best suit my academics as the classes are personable but the resources of a large university are still available. On the plane ride to New York, I was scared that I wouldn't like the school and this trip would have been for nothing but I was happy to find a place that I could see myself thriving and enjoying for the next four years to come.
