I loved everything about Buff. The school community is very diverse and there are so many people to interact and establish long friendships with. Classes and teachers are basically the same everywhere; there is a wide variety of teaching methods so I would say that the courses mostly depend on how the teacher and student work out their syllabus. For the clubs and sports, there are so many ways to get involved, and it is impossible to not find a club where you feel belonging. Now talking about the school, Buff is ranked #1 in the state for a very good reason. Food is delicious and there are options for all the types of diets that there could be!
Let's be honest. In order to have a good college experience, it really depends on how you make of it. College is the best time to "find" yourself. Once you finish high school, your college journey is a whole other ball game. Try new things, step out of your comfort zone, do things that make you feel "uncomfortable." Do these things, and im sure you'll have an interesting experience.
TLDR: I enjoyed my first year at this college. I definitely feel like a changed person compared to who I was in high school. Step out of your comfort zone and socialize with people. Don't forget to join clubs. Don't stay cooped up in your dorm!

Overall, it's a really good school. the majority of professors are understanding and aim to provide minimal assignments while holding many review sessions. The food is amazing, and there are also many chain restaurants on campus if you want to stick to something more familiar. The campus is well kept, and the shuttle buses to transport students between the campuses arrive on time no matter what, typically every 5-10 minutes. The only main drawbacks are the dorms, they're much smaller and more expensive than renting an apartment near the school. So overall, if you're not dorming, this school is a great choice!
