Great facilities, faculty, cirriculum and some VERY bad weather;-)A cost effective choice if you live in NY, which most do and something like 50% of the students are from NYC. Med school , law school and many departments rank high on the Gourman Report. Just bring warm clothes;-)   (1 people found this comment helpful, 2 did not)

Business, medicine and law programs are quite good and are among the best value for its cost in the Northeast. Strong emphasis upon research---this is not a student-friendly institution for undergrads. Grad students are in average class sizes of 28 (larger than most, but definitely smaller than undergrad classes. Look elsewhere if you want one-on-one attention and bonding with your professors - the place is huge. The largest university acre-wise and in student body in the SUNY system. Undergrads are given scant attention by professors who teach in cavernous auditoriums and who are more interested in research and in publishing their findings. A disproportionately high number of TAs who can't speak English very well. Rocky relationship between professors and TA union who argue that professors do less time teaching and more time researching. Racial relations on campus can be tense at times. Most Buffalonians (who are not cosmopolitan by nature) resent the large number of downstaters and exchange students on and off campus. Still, UB is one of the better institutions of higher learning in Western New York.   (5 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)
