This school is honestly great for stem majors, since they dedicate a lots of money towards. The only major complains I've heard from fellow students is the people, extremely rude and loud at times. The food in the kitchen is not the greatest of quality where some student actually cooking rather then anything else. Classes are small so great for interacting or getting to know your professor!
My overall experience at Buffalo State College has been far from what I expected. Being that Buffalo State was not my first choice, I didn't have a particularly positive view of what my experience would be there. However, I was pleasantly mistaken as I have actually had a great experience so far at Buffalo State College, the professors and staff are very caring and show that they really want you to succeed. The school also is always doing things to try and keep the students engaged and interested in what is going on in the campus community. There have been numerous events throughout my time being there that made me even more excited to be there. Although COVID-19 has put a halt to a lot of those events, the college has still tried to do what it can while still respecting government guidelines. So overall, Buffalo State College has been a very positive experience and I would recommend it to anyone that is considering the school in the future.
My overall experience in SUNY Buffalo State has been different than what I had expected. For starters, I go to school with people from all over the state. So that means I get to learn about others and see different points of view outside of my owns. Having to adopt to an unknown environments in Buffalo, it made me think that it more to the world than back home. It actually people who really cared about our education even if you not sure yourself where You want to go. Buffalo State would open your eyes to new exciting things that may have not be in the comfort zone . People always tend to tell me that I wouldn't learn anything while being in Buffalo State because it a party school. But that was not always true because if you party too much Buffalo State will kick you out if your grades is looking horrible. Buffalo state have activities to help bring students together such as clubs, social events, sports and games, etc.
