The school is very diverse and has a variety of things for you to do on campus. It encourages students to get involved with clubs and organizations. They are also very serious about your grades so most professors will give you accountability. SUNY Buffalo State College is a good school for education. If you’re looking to do, music education with only classical and opera music, this is a good place for you. The only thing that I wish they worked on was the diversity of the genres of music in the music department, that way students would be more interested, and intrigued to open up the account to a variety of genres.
The food is pretty good and it’s not the same thing every single day so you don’t have to worry about it when you’re in the dining hall. If you want to, you can go pick up your food and bring it back to your dorm. There’s really good studying places in the residence halls, in the library and in some other buildings. There’s a good support system with health and counseling

I just completed my first year at SUNY Buffalo State and I must say that it was a good year. The campus is nice and kept clean. While it isn’t as big as the bigger universities out there, this campus is one that feels like a small community where you know where everything is. Through my first year I am happy to say that there were tons of different resources around which helped me in terms of being a better student. This included free tutoring, free computer usage and a well kept library which is where Is pent most of my time completing papers and such. During my first year I lived in one of the Towers and I must say that it was great. While the rooms aren’t as big, they are still a comfortable size to have your own personal space and pack your items. The school also does a great job of keeping the tower clean as well as the outside walk way clear during snow storms. Overall I would say Buffalo is a great campus with only a few problems that can easily be looked past.
The school is a nice size, not too big or too small. The athletics are great and there are hundreds of clubs you can join! The people are very friendly, it's like being back home in the midwest. If you need help finding something you can ask any stranger and they will do their best to help out.
