Why can’t SUNY invest more money in making their campuses attractive? Other state schools have beautiful campuses, but UB has peeling and faded paint, chipped concrete, and just generally feels poorly maintained inside and out.
It could be a much prettier campus than it actually is. It’s not like SUNY tuition isn’t inexpensive. Let’s sink some money into glamming the place up a bit.
It's orientation season! Since orientation season is here, share your favorite memory from when you attended orientation.
Hey guys, I secured an apartment and am moving to Buffalo NY in the beginning of August because I am attending school there to get my bachelors in industrial engineering. I have a good job history I feel, I’ve worked at a hospital for 4 years as a patient care technician. Despite my experience I am really struggling to find a part time job. I am consistent, I’m never late and in the 4 years I’ve worked I’ve never had an unexcused absence. Does anyone know where I can look? I have applied to so many jobs already and have been facing many rejections, being ghosted or no response at all.
What is it like without having a car on campus the first year? Are there plenty of ways to go into town through a bus system? Or do people just rely on uber ?
Hey everyone,
I’m an incoming Mechanical Engineering major and I’m trying to make sure my current laptop is going to cut it for the next four years. I plan on using it as my main machine for absolutely everything—classes, heavy CAD work, coding, and daily use.
Here are the main specs (also attached the screenshot):
Thanks for any help
edit: nevermind, all the math is wrong. But hey I've heard ebill is in 10 days so that's nice ig.
So the total is 36,530 dollars. Subtract 7,070 for tuition, because that's covered by the excelsior scholarship, so we're left with 29,460 dollars.
Total aid granted by pell grant, tap, suny tuition credit (idk what that is), subsidized and unsubsidized loans is 12,866.52 dollars. Subtract that from 29,460 and we're left with 16593.48 dollars.
Personal expenses isn't an actual charge so we take that away and we're left with 14355.48 dollars. Finally, books and supplies is another fake charge so when we subtract that, we're left with 12855.48 dollars that I would need to borrow.
And once we shave off that meal plan next year, we'd have 4855.48 which I could easily work off and have my parents pitch in.
I live out of state, I was wondering if I put in my current address will it get here before I have to leave in the August, or should I just send it to my residence hall?

Happy 4th of July, everyone!!! I made a game! 😁

I’m still looking for a few more Android testers if anyone wants to play before it’s released on Android.
Hi all -- just wondering whether anyone here has evaluated UB vs SUNY Oneonta, or transferred from one to the other, or otherwise might have any advice? It's a long story, but a family member of mine applied to college pretty late in the admissions cycle, was accepted to UB and Oneonta, and now needs to decide within the next 4-5 days.
Some info on the student: he is probably going to major in chemistry. He's a bit shy, although he would like to meet people and make friends. He will probably live alone and off-campus. He has a car so getting around won't be an issue. He's not a sports guy, either as a participant or a fan.
All thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
Hi I'm new to UB and I have a few questions and I would be very grateful for any advice.
As someone coming from the west coast is there any sort of culture shock that's to be expected? I am aware the weather is very different and I do not intend to freeze my ass off freshman year so any layering advice would also be lovely.
How does the PNY scholarship work. I'm receiving military benefits so I qualify for residency that changed my Provost scholarship into PNY. I get the general idea of not covering any tuition but I'm curious to know what it's paying towards specifically.
If there is anyone in the engineering department: Do we have access to Solid Works or another CAD through UB, or is it individually funded?
Thank you for any comments!
Please let me know who do I contact to get transcripts? Also, do we know what happened to our email after we graduated?

I was talking to my wife about college traditions. Like CMU has this fence they can paint messages on. UMW has some seal or fountain thing they either are or aren't supposed to touch.
Does UB have a tradition in similar fashion? What is it?
