University at Buffalo Top Questions

Getting to class in the cold

Bussing to and from campus is slightly frustrating especially on the weekends.

The academic advisors are so shitty. They just sign you up for classes and dont show you how to pick classes or sign up for them on your own

The thing that is most frustrating about SUNY at Buffalo is it's location. Because it is so far north, it is cold majority of the academic year.

The commuting between classes during the winter months.

The large classes, hands down. I'm simply a number and rarely get to experience hands-on learning.

The weather is cold and windy. The North Campus is designed poorly and is ugly. You can only travel underground during the winter for the most part.

No school spirit.

Nothing

Large classes

A lot of professors here teach the same 101 lecture year after year, not a thing different. Thus, many people cheat and are rightfully bored out of their minds. Departments fail to cross-list. The "journalism certificate" is a joke. There are NO concentrations in majors. Lots of classes are "special topics" or at the discretion of the teacher and end up being awful, on only one book, on the teachers pet project, or the same as every other speical topics class.

Sometimes some things are crowded

When everyone that doesn't go to a SUNY school, tries to talk it down and make like it's less of a good time.
