MS Engineering Science (Artificial Intelligence) - Batch of 2026

4.2

Stressful, but very vibrant college life.

Tips: With the help of my seniors and some new friends I found here I transformed myself into an independent and happy person. Unfortunately, there are no scholarships available at my university; however, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Public transportation): It's located within the city boundaries making everything easily accessible. While we can use college transportation it's a one time fee whereas we pay for public transportation on a semester basis. Public transportation is convenient and affordable for everyone.

Dislikes (Student Life): I regularly attend classes and network with my peers. I appreciate the campus infrastructure and alumni support. My university hosts various CS workshops and competitions and I am a member of the Indian Student Association.

MS Pharmacology - Batch of 2026

The University at Buffalo is an all-rounder, for sure.

Tips: I would suggest people enrolling in this course to be well prepared in advance, since the course isn't taught from the basics. If you're confident with the subject you've chosen, I believe it's going to be no less than a smooth ride for you. I am absolutely in love with the student life at the university. We get a lot of time to play, go gym or engage in activities apart from our classes. The people there are so hill and they are very open-minded. I like hanging out with people and having a good time once I'm done with my classes.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I've heard people work good jobs related to pharmacology, such as being a clinical research associate or a clinical pharmacologist. I don't have an exact idea of how many people were selected for those kinds of jobs, but I've heard people manage to find jobs.

Very sophisticated and professional college.

Tips: The beginning of the semester starts with a lot of work. You are required to focus on your subjects from day to day. If you do not do this from the beginning, you will have a difficult time with the curriculum. In addition to the curriculum, you will have many assignments and check your academic integrity. The culture here is very good and the college offers many sophisticated events, group discussions, and multidisciplinary activities. There are a lot of events for international students as well, and food is provided at many of them based on a calendar. The college provides many more goodies like the Central Library and extracurricular activities like the Gym. Buffalo has a harsh winter. It is a good place for international students because living expenses are low. You may find summer challenging too because sunlight is harsh and there is greater risk of developing health issues. Do take care of your health.

It is a wonderful college to study and explore. Very friendly faculty and staffs.

Tips: This is a very friendly college. Almost 80% of the student body here gets a part-time job on campus, working in places like the cafeteria, the gym, or the library. I've enjoyed working here part-time, both because the pay is good and because there are lots of opportunities for career development. I think it's a great place to start a career. Also, the college provides a free bus that runs every 5 minutes, and it is really convenient. There is also a safety shuttle that takes you to your doorstep if you have to leave late at night. There are enough buses to cover the whole day, so you can relax and not worry about transportation. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There aren't any on-campus placements, but there is an abundance of career opportunities like events to join for career development and for job searching. I don't see any companies coming to hire people, which is the only drawback of this program, but I think most colleges have this issue, not just this one.

MS in Industrial Engineering - Batch of 2024

Good education with value of money

Tips: At UB you'll meet people from different backgrounds, most are from India and then China. Besides just studying you'll grow a lot personally. When it comes to scholarships, there are a lot but always advise to apply for it before coming to university.

Likes (Value for money): Compared to other universities in US, fees at the University of Buffalo are much lower. And it depends on your field of study. If you are taking any course from management school it can cost you around 50 Lacs in INR and if it is any MS course it will go up to 30 Lacs in INR.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Settlement options depend on which company you are going to join. If it is a good company you may get H1B which is the first step of any F1 Student. There are other options like getting a green card through family, starting a start-up etc. But still, there are a lot of things that come to play. Overall settlement options are very limited for students from India.

Buffalo - A great place to live and study.

Tips: I think the transition has been very successful in part due to on-campus resources. Information regarding specific things is available online on the university website. I am satisfied with my experience of the university's course and the country. Also, you get very much less chance as an international student to qualify for university scholarship.

Likes (Post study jobs): The job market is good for probably all fields and in accordance with the current situation. Also, incoming students can start to apply for internships before they arrive in the US. The internship and co-ops have a very high chance of getting converted into a full-time job.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Finding employers who will sponsor your visa once you graduate is hard to find since most employers prefer in-state employees for whom they don't have to sponsor a visa. But this case is different for different fields and depends on case-by-case basis.
