University at Buffalo Top Questions

What kind of person should attend this school?

Kalina

University at Buffalo is a research school therefore it is an excellent choice for students who are looking to do research at any level of their college career. The facilities, especially those catering to the science are also very good, providing a productive environment for students. The school also has a large and diverse student population which exposes students to many different people and cultures. However, since the school is quite large, students should make a great effort to attend their professor's office hours. This can be beneficial as you are given that one on one treatment.

Incoming students need to be motivated, independent and have good time management skill to do well at UB. The classes can be difficult and very demanding; although the professors are always avaiable to help, to be successful you need to be able to keep yourself on track and stay focus. The classes here can be anywhere from 40-400 students, so incoming students that need more one on one attention should consider a different school. UB offers many different adantages to students, there are top research labs and networks or working professionals, so internships and research experience is available too!

Jasmin

In my opinion UB is a very open university.; accepting all sorts of people. If one does select UB as their school, they should be ready to work hard, and to be be known by many the professors. This school is for the inquisitive mind, and prefers interaction in classes. Buffalo isn't the most friendly of cities but once the student knows their way around, it's not too bad.

This is a commuter campus mostly, so be prepared to rent off-campus. Since it is a big school that's trying to become bigger, you need to be independent and have motivation to push yourself forward and stay on-track. You have the chance to keep your options open with so many majors, but if you don't pick something and stick with it, you could stay in the system and never make it out. You have to be a go-getter to do the research about what jobs/career you can get with your major.

UB is a big school. The only people that wouldn't like UB are people that like really small schools. A big school is not for everybody.

You can't go wrong at UB.
