Since the school was located in upstate NY the winters were harsh. In the four years I attended classes were cancelled once because professors from Canada could not make it over the Peace Bridge. In the dorms there was a special key that was required to change the heat settings. Without the key most people left all of the windows open in the middle of winter. Even if you were lucky enough to own a key or get one from a neighbor rommates always fought over temperatures. Relatively speaking the University was a good school that provided a great eduacation.

The helpfulness of the staff with regards to registration. You are assigned an advisor to help you plan out your semesters, however they are always hard to get a hold of. They really didn't give you advise and many people found themselves short credits when it came time for graduation.

The campus. It is not a good looking campus, and it outdated.

The definite down-side of the University at Buffalo is how large the classes are. For larger majors it is almost impossible to get to know your classmates and professors which becomes hard when it comes time to get Letters of Recommendations. You need to make sure to seek out professors in order to obtain references.

Because UB focuses on the sciences, other departments are lacking and are often even cut in the name of scientific advancement. Also, UB is a big drinking school; there are always parties not only off campus but also on campus in the dorms!

The only bad thing I can say about my school is its large size. Because of its size, it can seem very overwhelming to new students...but within only a month or so you can easily find your way around and you realize the benefits as well as the downfalls of its size. As far as ones social life goes at University at Buffalo, there are several ways to become involved in a community, whether it's joining a club, getting involved in residential life, meeting people through classes. You just have to be open-minded and learn from diversity.

it is so far from where I live and there are no dorm rooms open yet so I have to drive an hour each way so I try to get my classes all on as few days as possible

The worst thing about the school would just be the ice cold weather. The wind hits your face with tiny snow trying to pierce in to your school. The heavy winds hurt your face a lot! But other than that attending SUNY at Buffalo will be one of my greatest academic experiences!

Its size can also be a detriment. While it creates lots of oppurtunitys it also makes it very easy to become lost physically and mentally. The large cement campus creates a feeling of coldness and it can be rather difficult running into friends.

Sometimes the size and amount of people at my school is frusterating. Resources like library computers are hard to get at certain times. Also, some classes that are required and give video lectures aren't very helpful.
