In addition to Syracuse University tuition, Newhouse LA will entail a program fee and housing costs. Additional costs to consider are transportation (possible rental car or ride share services and/or a MetroCard), meals, groceries and entertainment.
Newhouse LA offers several merit based scholarships, along with information regarding other financial aid resources to help students to offset some of the costs of the program.
Los Angeles is very much a car-centric city. Access to a car is the best way to navigate between home, an internship and the Syracuse University Los Angeles Center. Some students use a ride share company like Uber or Lyft instead of arranging for a car. There is a public transportation system in LA but it is limited geographically. Using public transportation may increase commute times and may also require several transfers between trains and buses. Both ride share and public transportation may limit the internships to which students can apply as some internships require that the student have a car.
All transportation options should be researched thoroughly to understand the costs involved and the challenges each mode presents.
The Newhouse LA program is dedicated to student health and wellness by providing Los Angeles area-based resources to aid in personal growth and academic success for students in times of crisis, problem resolution and coping with daily challenges.
Newhouse LA is dedicated to the safety of our students, and as such, we have emergency plans in place as a precaution due to the increased risk of wildfires and earthquakes in the Los Angeles area.
