I'm a 2004 alum, don't waste your time or money. I beg my own child to skip "higher education" but he's been brainwashed that it leads to a better life. Unless you are studying engineering or finance or maybe chemistry I'd advise just skip college. Waste of money and time. Did absolutely nothing for me.

Been here a year, and the financial aid department is garbage. They don’t reply back, even when they said to email them or submit documents to them. If they do reply, they do not answer your questions. They cannot answer any Veteran TAP or GI Bill questions that are supposed to be handled by them. Do better UB, this is unacceptable.

Isss messed up with easy OPT application. Causing unemployment and deportation. World history professor does not respect Chinese history. The Analects of Confucius was NOT written by Confucius!!! Come on, all Middle School Kids know this in China….. speechless. Graduated with highest distinction with two bachelor degrees within 4.5 years. Most professors are good but you need to be wise to drop the class if it’s a stupid one. And How dare you asking me for donation and trying to put my current employment status on your website after your ISSS messed all those up?! Thanks god I had a couple of top Master program offers at that time. God bless your heart.

Campus feels pretty nice. Quiet a few good places to eat. Student activities are ok. Some professors are ok but most are bad and only care about their research. They don’t care about the students or their education at all. They chose horrible TA and who can’t teach at all. I once took a geology class with the worst TA possible and who was just out there to find fault and get students in trouble and fail students. His attitude was horrible. His name was PJ which stands for poor joke coz that’s what he was. Classrooms are decent. It’s either hit or miss with academic advisor. Some will help you and some will destroy you coz they don’t know what they are advising. Dorms are ok if you get the good ones if not then all the best. Campus bus are decent. Students cheat on exams and assignments all the time. Lots of politics going on with the campus. Libraries are good. Lots of places to hide and stay or hide and do stuff whichever you prefer. Campus safety is good. Cops are always on patrol so you feel safe.

Not recommended. Half the classes are taught by overworked, exhausted grad students. When I was there, there was no advisor for my department and therefore no way of knowing what courses to take for an actual degree. The campus was physically designed and built to deter student protests, so it has a "windowless prison" sort of quality. And their record keeping is bad. They lost 9 of my credits.
