I am still new to the college but I there are a lot of activities you can partake in that are specific to your major as well as other majors. The community is built such that there's no way you wouldn't be a part of something unless you deliberately chose not to. It's a great school to actually major in Engineering and there are a lot of great opportunities for whichever career path you choose .
It's a campus to grow and mature into who you really are and the school system builds your confidence and helps you to prioritize what is most important. Of course, just like any other school, you'll want to be careful about who you associate with because with time, their habits becomes yours.
Take advantage of the opportunities!

I have had a lovely experience up here in the buff so far. Aside from the great academics this school has, i must say the dining services have exceeded my expectations. I knew coming into college, that UB ranked #1 among all the SUNY schools but they have really impressed. Pistachios is a student favorite. The pasta dishes they make hibachi style right in front of you is mesmerizing and then the aftermath is delicious! It gave me a warm feeling inside that felt as if i was back home at my grandmas on sunday eating pasta with my family.
I can reflect upon the exciting memories formed by the lovely university known as the University at Buffalo. Cheering on the UB Bulls by joining a fanbase, dining in at one of the eat-ins on campus, attending a gathering to prepare for whatever event was to take place, engaging in photography with UB's aesthetic atmosphere, staying fit in UB's well-kept Alumni Arena, and more. In addition to memories, the staff had a profound impact on me and how I carry myself to this day. Whether it be an intro class or a more fine-tuned 400-level class, each professor that has given a lecture to me has granted me the opportunity of hearing new insight and viewing the world in a fresh perspective.
I resided in Ellicott Complex, which served as shelter for my first-year experience. The cleanliness and proximity to class/dining is unparalleled. My brother, another UB student, resided in Goodyear and has the same opinion as I for Ellicott. To new UB students I say you will not regret it!
