MS Engineering Science (Artificial Intelligence) - Batch of 2026

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.

The campus is diverse and welcoming.
Tips: The Computer Science department is challenging but worth it. Students in the Systems track will face tough projects. The department takes a serious stance on AI usage, with AI strictly prohibited in projects and assignments. Teaching Assistant support is available for projects.

MS Pharmacology - Batch of 2026
4
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.

MS in Engineering Sciences (Data Sciences) - Batch of 2026
3.1
The university is budget friendly and academically oriented.
Tips: SUNY Buffalo is academically and course-oriented, a good value for money, college-wise, although be aware of the climate and neighbourhood before considering Buffalo, New York. You get free groceries from the college and care packages that help you through the semester (food-wise).
Dislikes (Student Life): The quality of off-campus housing is bad, and there are extreme climatic conditions. You get proper sun for around 4 months and then the rest of the year is snow, rain, or training with occasional sunny days. Events are organised by the college, and they're pretty good. You will see a lot of student community/clubs to join.

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.
