University at Buffalo Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend this school?

Yi

As I answered on the previous quesion. UB is a very competitve university. Therefore, people that aren't willing to spend a lot of time on academics, and have fun in extracurricular activities will not be prepared to attend this school. Speaking on extracurricular activities, UB have a student government that runs by students. Many clubs were formed and still increasing in number. In other words, there are tons of extracurricular activities for students to participate. People who know how to manage their time are well fit for University at Buffalo.

I personally don't think there is a kind of person who should not attend this school. The school is very diverse and there are many kinds of people from all over the U.S. and many that come form over seas. Maybe if a person cannot stand the could then UB is not the school for you becasue it is freezing at least 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time we are here.

People that are not looking to improve their education or knowledge level should not attend this college. The college is great academically and offers numerous opportunities to broaden ones understanding in their field of study. If one is not looking to work or further educate themselves I would not recommend this school.

Students that are lacking an interest in a well rounded curriculum should definetely not attend this school. It is a city area college and has a diverse environment, one that is not focused on education and going above and beyond learning should seek their education elsewhere.

This school is all about focusing on your academic. Academic is very important and the university offers many types of careers for students. If the student(s) are not willing to work hard and get involved in the school activities, volunteering and research programs, then this school would not be good for them.

Davon

If one doesn't have the will to learn and give ther all to their studies this is not the school for them. One must be dedicated an strive to achieve their best in all classes. There will be times you may want to give up and quit this like a marriage you have to take the good with the bad and do what you have to to make it work. If you are a weak person or someone who doesn't follow through with things your gonna fail .
