SUNY Buffalo State Top Questions

A great place to succeed and have a peaceful education.

I love Buff State.

Buffalo State is a great school! The campus is very clean, food is great, lots of programs to enrich oneself, great professors, nice sports teams/clubs to get involved in, great Honors college.

The best thing about the school is that the transportation system is well set up and the environment around the school itself doesn't become a huge distraction to the students which allows students to focus on their studies. The school campus is very well set up, it's neither big nor small because there are 2 campuses and this makes the school feel like it's the right size. From my opinion, the library of this school is what makes this school loved. The library is so well built that if you spend couple of hours in the library, your grade will rise accordingly. Buffalo is near the Niagara Falls which makes the city very cold in the winter. One experience that I will never forget is the cold winter with heavy snow because one, it was my first time seeing snow and two, I had to wear 6 layers everyday. The administration of the school is also what makes the school strong because they are friendly and are always there to help you with your needs.

The University at Buffalo is one of the most prestigious universities in New York State, and it is one that I am proud to say I am a part of. It boasts division one athletic programs such as football and basketball. With these programs comes a sense of unity, passion, and pride among students. UB has two campuses, North campus and South campus. Both of these campuses are located in Buffalo, NY, a city which, I believe to be, the perfect city of a large university. Buffalo has two major sports, the NHL Sabres and the NFL Bills, to follow. Students can also enjoy Buffalo's downtown life as well as its impressive architecture. While UB is one of the best universities in New York State, it is also one of the largest. UB has over 40,000 students. This may or may not be appealing to some prospective students. Personally, it does not bother me. My class sizes are no larger than smaller schools (a common fear for students considering UB).

I very complacent at this school. Regardless of the frigid temperature, the redundant food choices, and the teachers that speak anything but english, I've grown to love this school. (I'm sure I could point out a few positives also :D)

I spend the most amount of time in UB's Undergraduate Student Association's office, where I work as Director of Student Affairs. I think that is the best experience that I have on campus, is how involved I pushed myself to be. A common mistake that Freshman make is not being involved in their first semester on campus. Taking time to enjoy one's "freedom" at the time may seem like the best choice, but it can come to bite the student later on when they want to become involved. At such a large University, it is imperative that a student becomes involved their first year, to make the transition less scary and overwhelming.

It is very easy to feel at home here as long as you're willing to put in a little effort and be outgoing. If you just sit in your dorm room all day waiting for a blooming social life to fall into your lap, you're going to be disappointed. The best way to succeed on this campus is to get involved. Also, once you have an established group of friends to explore with, there are tons of opportunities off campus- malls, restaurants, clubs, bars, a theater district, and more. The only thing I'd change here is the aesthetic appeal of teh campus and the weather.

the best thing about my school are the organization on campus, i wouldn't change anything about my school its great i love it. my school is not too large or small its and average campus with beautiful dorms. most people reaction about my school is how they will love to be admitted to my school. i spend most of my time on campus since everything i need is on campus i really dont need to go off campus. the school adminstration are there to help the students and make sure we have a great time on campus as well. the school pride is phenomenous. i will always remember my school orientation.

Transferring from a small university in Niagara Falls, UB was a fantastic change of pace. I truly believe it is the best school (for scholarly and entertainment purposes) in Buffalo. I however am not ignorant enough to believe that it is the best school in the US, however if staying in Buffalo is a primary goal for you then UB is your best choice.
