Syracuse University?
« on: Jan 18, 2009, 12:50 pm »
Hello, I recently had my portfolio review at SU and I think I really like it. However, i would like some input from somebody who doesn't work for it. Does the fact that the degree would come from Syracuse help, hurt? THANKS!

Have you contacted the school to get a list of current students and recent alumni?  Be weary of a school that doesn't have a good reason to hook you up with students.

I am currently a freshman stage management major here at Syracuse. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about the program, school, or college in general. None of the schools I looked at really linked me up with current students. But if you want to talk to some other students besides me who are upperclassman I might be able to get you in contact with them.

While I did not graduate from Syracuse with a theater degree, I am an alum and a lot of my friends are alums of the theater department.  Feel free to PM me if I can answer any questions for you or put you in touch with some theater alums.
