I'm looking into attending college in Syracuse and want to explore my options. Besides Syracuse University, are there any other good colleges or universities in Syracuse that I should consider?
Absolutely, besides Syracuse University, there are a number of other good institutions in Syracuse and nearby regions you should look at.
Le Moyne College is one such institution, located in Syracuse itself. Le Moyne is a Jesuit school. It offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in fields such as Business, Nursing, and Education, as well as a well-regarded physician assistant program.
A bit further afield, you may want to consider the State University of New York (SUNY) system. There are several SUNY campuses within an hour or so of Syracuse, including SUNY Cortland, SUNY Oswego, and SUNY Upstate Medical University, each offering a diverse range of programs.
SUNY Upstate Medical University is actually located in Syracuse city itself and is a great choice if you're considering a career in health or medical sciences. SUNY Oswego, which has a lakefront campus and is less than an hour from Syracuse, offers over 110 undergraduate and graduate degrees across a wide range of fields.
SUNY Cortland, about 40 minutes from Syracuse, is well-known for its highly reputed physical education and sports management programs. It's also known for its education, speech and hearing sciences, and exercise science programs.
All of these institutions offer different experiences, programs and campus environments, so I recommend figuring out what you are opting for from your college experience and then researching each school thoroughly to determine the best fit for you.
