It's a good school but I strongly believe that academic advisors and counselors could pay a lot more attention to their students it seems as though they are very laxative and only interested and only answer questions do you have been asked precisely they don't give suggestions or offer help in the extra mile which is not a very good characteristic of a grief counselor or advisor
It's a wonderful culture and a great affordable option. They take such good care of first-years especially and help everyone else whenever they can. Weigel Health is wonderful and everyone is so nice. I've yet to meet a bad one yet. Not only that, on campus housing is beautiful with a great fitness center and great RAs.
My opinion of SUNY Buffalo State is that this schools gives an opportunity for everyone, regardless of our differences and where many of us grew up, this school shows that everyone is welcomes here at Buffalo and that everyone here is understanding and respectful of each other. The atmosphere is what I mainly care about at campus, and the comfort and wholesomeness of this school really makes me feel as if i’m just at home and I am also pursuing my career while doing so. This school has opened my eyes to new opportunities as well, making me realize that I can be more open to things and that it’s okay to try new things and meet new people.
It is a good school faculty is always willing to help. It is a party school,

As a high school student from New York City I thought a lot about the decision I was making to go away for college. When I made the decision of going to Buffalo State College, which is eight hours away from the City, I began to think about the different things I would have to get used to. However, I never thought about the real transition of going from a High School in New York City to a college Upstate New York. Knowing what I know now about college and the transition I went through, I would?ve advised myself to never forget that I worked very hard and alone to get to where I am now, that struggles were bound to happen. At First I was overwhelmed because of the noticeable changes I was experiencing, and never thought about the fact that I got myself into this and in the future every little struggle will pay off gratefully.
Most of my classmates are genuinely nice people. I don't have any issues with anyone I have come across so far. In class, most of the students that I befriend seem focused on succeeding in school and in life. My dorming expericence has been good as well. There are some people that are obviously not disciplined or responsible and I keep my distance from them.
Buffalo has a lot of diversity, different types of people, surroundings, experiences. Buffalo is a large school, but to me it just means more opportunities and more experiences than a smaller school could offer. The only complaint I have about UB is that our sports teams are less than great, but being a Division 1 school means alot of heavy competition, so it's okay.
The sizes of classes vary largely. Most of my classes are rather large, which can be intimidating. However, if you make the effort to utilize office hours and contacting your professor, most of them are willing and appreciative of the contact with students. The education at UB is geared often towards the future, the bigger picture, and a student's opportunities after college.
The teachers Exercise Science program that I am in are very helpful and have good teaching techniques.
Liberal, social student
Tje freedom, size and diversity
Buffalo State College is best known for offering quality education for an affordable price. Also it is a wonderful school if someone is venturing into education or design careers.
I belong to the UB swim team, and therefore I am blessed with about 50 odd people that I am with every day. We do everything together and generally stick together, my teammates are my friends. We do mix with other athletic teams and through AFA I have been able to meet other people. True Blue is starting to break down the athlete-rest-of-the school divide but it's there. The athletes do not like the Greeks point and fact. People party at UB and it depends on who you hang out with the amount that you party. For some people the weekend starts on Thursday night, others never go out. For me if I go out in-season it's only Saturday night, but in the off season we tend to have a little more fun.
Before I came to this school, I wish I had known who was the best person to go to for advisement. At the beginning of my college career here at Buffalo State College, I got advised by three different advisors and was told three different kinds of information regarding which classes I need to take, which caused me to take a couple classes I did not need to. I finally figured out that the best person to go to in order to get the most effective advisement was Mrs. Day, the assistant director to the Education Department.
It is a good size, its not too hard, everyone is pretty nice.
A beautiful campus with a lot of things to offer.
The stereotype of the students of SUNY College at Buffalo is that they are very energetic, and outgoing. They like to challenge many goals, not only on an academic level but in social life as well such as making friends even. The school holds many events that is operated and run by, not the school, but the students themselves. It's not only SUNY Buffalo that has jocks, frat kids and stoners; every school has them. I view this not as a deterioration of the school image but builds up the diversity of the people you can meet.
That Buffalo is always under snow... yes we have had some crazy snow storms and ice storms, but our summers are some of the best, absolutely beautiful. Also, we know that the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres are yet to win a championship- so stop telling us. It will happen some day! Another- we are all drunks... well our bars close at 4:00-am! What do you expect?
the food options at the school, i iwsh there were healthier options.
The Parking situation is the most frustrating. Albeit we have lost our parking lots for new buildings, it is still a hassle to have to show up 3 hrs prior to class in order to find a parking spot
It is a large school, but there's nothing wrong with that.
I believe that anyone can attend this school because it is fairly diverse and liberal. It also has its set of rules that students must follow.
the basket ball and the soccer teams are the best on campus lets gooo BENGALS
I am currently taking MTH 142, MTH 309, AAS 261, and VS 150. VS 150 satisfies the art gen ed requirement and is a very easy class. My professor is fun and in the class we talk about some art, he makes jokes, and we watch films. There are 3 tests which make up your grade. Attendance is extra credit. The tests are 25 multiple choice questions. He uses a bell curve and then pushes it forward towards As. A 36/100 in that class will get you a C-. I got a 72/100 and it's a B+. I always go to class, so I'll get that extra credit. The tests are poorly worded. Some questions are obvious while others are impossible. The curve makes it all OK though. Low stress class. AAS 261 is African American Studies. It satisfies the US history requirement. I go to class, listen to the teacher, take notes, very rarely have homework. The tests are 2 essay questions and the teacher doesn't give out good grades easily. 1/3rd of my class failed the 1st test. MTH 142 is a calculus 2 class for majors and it is basically what you'd imagine it to be. It's a lot of work, but it's doable. I get homework every week and the tests are difficult, but manageable. MTH 309 is a Linear Algebra course. I go to class and learn very little. The textbook teaches me most of what I need to know. For me it is a very difficult class and I have no idea how to read the questions. Once you know what the question is asking it is easy to answer.
