Thank you for your response. Yes, I figured that cost would increase every year and flights aren’t easy/cheap from NorCal. My partner and I both went to UC’s so we don’t know much about the pros of private universities. I would imagine the class sizes are smaller at Syracuse, with possibly better resources/equipment, and a strong alumni network. There’s a good chance we wouldn’t go into debt with Syracuse, but of course the price of in-state (San Diego State) is much more doable. Both schools seem to have the school spirit and sports S25 is looking for, but I would imagine Newhouse would have a stronger academic program and opportunities than SD. Syracuse also has a semester in LA program.
Tough call - Newhouse is very well regarded and yes would likely have more contacts into the industry than SD State would but I assume this is a Waitlist offer given the date and tough to commit to a school that you haven’t visited. I don’t know much about SD State but can tell you the weather is going to be VERY different in Syracuse.
Haha, yes the weather would be a challenge! S25 was admitted RD to Syracuse but we didn’t visit because of the cost. So now we’re panic researching!
Didn’t he need to commit to the admission by 5/1 if he was intending to go there or did Syracuse do something different this year?
Has anybody else gotten an email now saying they have been admitted to the honors college after initially not being chosen?
