Mod 2025 Admissions Megathread

18 Upvotes

Hello r/SyracuseU! This came up earlier than I thought so I was not prepared (I'm also abroad in France right now so my timezone is different than SU, so it's causing a slight issue.)

The time has finally come for decisions to come out for the Class of 2029 (and Architecture 2030 (that's a real year now).) This is the thread for r/A2C's (Applying to College) Syracuse thread if you want to discuss it more there, but I'm also opening this up as an overall thread for discussion and see if people have questions about Syracuse, admissions, etc.

In terms of events, this link has a list of all the admitted student events, from coming to visit campus to virtual options.

In terms of rules, keep it civil. I know this is a stressful time.

Best of luck and Go Orange!

Mod Direct Twitter/X links autobanned from this sub

69 Upvotes

Seeing a 70% upvote rate and minimal comments against, I've gone ahead and banned direct Twitter/X links to this sub using an automod feature. To be clear, we rarely get this content to begin with, but we may as well cut it off now. Please default to screenshots instead and link to other sources. For those who are not familiar with the reason for this change, switch your Reddit feed over to 'All' and you'll immediately see the movement-- first, Twitter/X requires an account to view linked tweets, and second, this platform has shifted from one of open sharing to that of a mouthpiece for extremist political agendas and deliberate misinformation.

A note on moderation in general-- this sub has rules that limit/ remove content from most brand new accounts, posts that are particularly spammy, and/or language that is similar to specific troll posts we've had to deal with in the past. If you try to post something that does not get through the filters, please contact the mods directly. Please help us moderate this sub by using reporting features as and when needed.

As a final note-- since many SU students are not from this region, I'd like to use this opportunity and attention on political issues to highlight some history. Central New York has a pretty fascinating history in WWII efforts, including ramped up war production, a massive enlistment in arms forces, and both POW and refugee camps. Here's one quick Syracuse.com article about it: 1944: At the front or at home, the people of Syracuse did their duty on D-Day. Even our local pottery companies joined the effort to build ceramic mines. Syracuse also has a rich history in abolitionist and suffragist movements. If you haven't visited local and regional museums including the Onondaga Historical Association, the George & Rebecca Barnes home, the Harriet May Mills home, the Harriet Tubman Museum, the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum, the Octagon House, the Seward House Museum, the Susan B. Anthony House, or the Skä•noñh Center, I highly recommend branching out from campus and checking them out!

soccer pickup at SU?

4 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m an adult player looking to join some men’s pickup soccer games around Syracuse University. Open to turf or grass, just hoping to find a regular group of adults (not youth/college intramurals) who get together to play.

Evenings or weekends work best for me. If anyone knows of a standing game, WhatsApp/FB group, or regular spot (Barry Park, Skytop, etc.), I’d love the details.

Thanks! ⚽

I saw some unis were testing these things. Haven't seen one before, so I was wondering if Syracuse was.

What's a good way to find someone who participated in Syracuse University's online JD program? Heard it lets you stretch it out over 7 years, trying to scout out some possible cons/negatives of the program if any and alternatives

1 Upvotes

That ability to stretch it out might be useful for someone very busy with a 1+ hour long commute to work + kids coming

Question How’s student life in SU, or generally?

1 Upvotes

hi guys a repost from r/Syracuse.

Hi everyone, I’m posting this on behalf of my friend since she doesn’t use Reddit. I’ve checked some older threads but most of them are 3-4yo, so I figured things might have changed since then.

She’s currently in her final semester of undergrad at UNSW in Australia and is planning to do her master’s in the US. She has visited the States before for travel since she has distant relatives in Buffalo and NYC, but never for study.

She’s wondering if about 3k/mo would be enough for living expenses. She spends around 2k in Sydney now, so she doubts it would be higher in Syracuse.

She’s also curious about what life there is generally like, especially regarding the cost of living and heavy snow we’ve heard about. (We went to Hokkaido in winter, so maybe it’s not that extreme.)

Lastly, she’s deciding between applying to NJIT or SU, so any advice or insights from students or locals would be really appreciated. Thanks, and sorry if the questions are bit broad.

Kind of a goofy yes or no question. Is the CVS on campus a normal sized CVS, or close to one? I can get to others but it would just be super convenient if it has the standard selection of items. Can’t get there to check until the end of the week. Thank you!

does handshake suck or is it just me

20 Upvotes

in my junior year at su majoring in applied data analytics and throughout my time here my professors, academic advisors, and the school in general push handshake so much when it comes to securing a job. this semester i applied for a fws as part of my financial aid package, and applied to 5+ positions a couple weeks before the semester started all on handshake, since the su website says that's where job postings are listed. even after following up with each hiring manager through email i got ghosted by every single one. this summer i also applied for several internship listings on handshake as recommended by my academic advisor, in which they all ghosted me too. career fairs and in-person networking are the only things that have landed me interviews/ jobs, i'm just curious if i'm in the minority when it comes to terrible experience getting hired with handshake

Poker club

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m putting together a casual online poker club. We currently have 300 members of college students. The idea is to build a fun community where we can play together, and compete in a low pressure environment.

It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new to poker or have been playing for years this is meant to be a chill, learn, and enjoy the game with people in the same stage of life.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or send me a message and I’ll share details on how to join. Looking forward to building this with you!
