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 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.
I love the online format! I like it when online programs are asynchronous. I feel like having the choice of doing my work on my own time really is helpful to my everyday life. Professors have adapted quickly to this style of learning and make students confident in their abilities to still learn and pass classes at the same rate as if it were in person.
