University Reviews

I previously attended two institutions and was not happy at either way. Alas, I found my way to UB which I thought would be another school that I would dislike. To my amazement, UB has turned into my favorite school and I could not be happier.

The transportation provided is reliable, and North Campus is nice. In my 3 years at this university, one thing I've noticed is that despite the thousands of people on campus, UB gives off such a lonely, desolate feeling. It's difficult and annoying to find a good, quiet spot to study or do homework on campus from about 9AM-3PM.

North campus is nice. South campus can feel sketchy at times. The transportation services are really helpful. Make sure you have a winter jacket and rain boots. Classes are known to be challenging in comparison to other local universities. Work hard and stay warm.

Only bad part is the weather sucks ALL the time #HornsUp

Admitted to CS at UB, all the initial excitement now seems a blunder. Faculty mostly gives a nightmare. The weather is horrible here. The location of Antarctica would have been better to search software dev roles. Your previous work-ex, CGPA seems small in front of UB's repo, firms just reject you in screening itself. UB Job fares are garbage.

I'm a commuter, but that's because dorming is $$$ and its hella convenient to have a house in Buffalo, yuno. The small town vibe is cute, especially if you're from the city. Public transport consists of lots of buses and a 2 car monstrosity known as the "Metro Rail." That's no subway, fam. The food isn't the best, but this ain't NYC.

Im 24, I left the college I attended right after high school because I hated it. It was a bad fit, but I felt like it was just how college was going to be for me. I later returned with a CC, before transferring here. I was amazed at how different I felt about UB. I found th course and program options much more appealing and interesting.

Good school Had a great semester Horns up

The North campus is in a nice area, but South campus is kinda sketchy. The only really good food is Pistachio's Pasta, but the line is always super long. It needs more chain food options than Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Moe's. The campus is beautiful and there are many places to even just explore and sit outside when the weather is nice.

Weather is horrible, food places cover all cuisines. UB's location and useless job fares make it very tough to succeed, with a cherry on top, infinite number of students. Imagine a graduate lecture batch of 350+ folks! Only thing is housing and education is cheap compared to other schools but if you have a better choice go for it, UB makes you cry.

You go to UB if you want a good education but can't afford to go to a better school, so there's a nice solidarity in that. There are some places on campus that sell really good food that I would spend real money on if I didn't have meal swipes. I've had amazing teachers pretty much every semester

Good school, quickly rising as one of, if not the best, SUNY.

UB its a great school. I am a transfer student and Im happy I chose UB. It has a great reputation among the big industries! You wont be disappointed if you come here.

UB is a great school w/ a plethora of opportunities. The food is pretty good, but the meal times are weird. Get as involved as you can b/c it really makes/ breaks your experience especially as a commuter. There are a variety of resources available all throughout campus to make your transition and academic life easier, and the professors r :)
