It’s really true, the University at Buffalo is a public research university with campuses in Buffalo (south campus) and Amherst (north campus). They provide the best college level education in Western New York.
Campus is big and somewhat beautiful. Students are generally in low quality with low IQ. Researches are conservative and traditional. If you pursue academic quality, this place is not suitable for you. If you just want to have a diploma, you can come. By the way, facility problems occur frequently. The facility manager seems not responsible.
This place is like a palace. Massive, I visit it there on a trip. It took me about 3 hours just to walk around the whole school. Also visit the inside as a visitor. Its a amazing university that offers many course. Lot of friendly people. Adviser will always help student even though their is a lot of student. Amazing Lab as well. Definitely a great place to go for a bright career.
Amazing accesabliity for all resources and people. Fantastic welcoming and accepting community! The sky is the limit here
A lovely little University in the heart of Buffalo awaits you here. From what I could tell, the buildings were very nice and modern. The student union was closed on the day we were there though, so I can't really speak for that. But the Japanese placed looked delicious, and I highly recommend you check it out.
UB is a big, diverse school- which is great for students who might end up changing their major or just want to branch out at school. It has a second campus 20 minutes away south of the main one (south campus) where some health sciences and architecture courses take place. Plenty of great people here.
Loved my college experience at UB. Quality academics, quality student life. There is great diversity which will help you with life after college. Food is good, not great, but what do you expect when you are cooking for the masses. Wish people cared more about the athletics. They have made north campus and the apartments surrounding it nice. The alumni base from what I can tell is Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, NYC, Chicago and DC. I also love the city of Buffalo. Downtown offers a lot to do for a mid size city.
Our experience could not have been worse with Admissions. My son applied 'early action'. There was a request for information which was received February 14 and he was still not notified until April 27 about the status of his application. This ridiculous date allowed him one business day before the May 1 deadline to commit. We understand Admissions has to process many thousand applications but the process was utterly embarrassing for a University with the credentials they advertise. Students beware.
So many wonderful opportunities provided. In two years I got the opportunity to study abroad in Russia, two wonderful internships in Washington, DC and got the opportunity to intern for a congressmen. The opportunities the University at Buffalo offers is non-stop. The only problem I had in Buffalo was not enough one-on-one time with the professor(s), but I can't be more grateful for the wonderful opportunities I experienced because of Buffalo (UB). I am now a grad student at a school I love even more. I am very thankful for UB.
UB is an excellent place to study! Great student life and academics as well as activities!
I attended the art department at UB and had an overall good experience there. There are some classes and instructors that are better than others. The facility is very sufficient.
I especially liked the print-making dept and worked with some great grad students who were teaching there.
Intelligent, conscientious, and focused students. There are so many intelligent people here I at first I felt like I wouldn't fit in because everyone is so smart! I think what I like best about UB is if you're a shy or a geek, you'll fit in right away and no one judges each other here since everyone is so worried about getting good grades. If you want to study at UB you have to make a serious conscious commitment to research and learning. Students are polite and mindful that their studies come first. Diversity and culture is huge here, and a wide variety of food so you will never get bored. There is also a bank, CVS, and a variety of shops on campus and an internal bus system and tunnels in the North Campus. It is truly a secret gem of an institution hidden away to focus on research.
