Great student life and campus.
Tips: You need to be aware and open to the fact that people will consumer food and beverages that do not align with your values. You need to be welcoming of people of all nationalities. UB is very accepting of all people and does not tolerate any facts of hatred or racism. American student life is a lot more different than Indian student life - you will need to learn to find other avenues of communication than WhatsApp since most people there do not use WhatsApp. Please also be mindful of privacy and do not try to contact professors or other professionals on the phones - instead, use email or some other formal communication method. I was awarded the International Admissions Scholarship - 50% off my tuition fee. There was no other allowance as such but the university allows you to create meal plans so you can swipe your ID card to redeem a meal instead of paying different every time. I was very satisfied with my university, it felt exciting to be on campus and attend classes. Making new friends is a little difficult when you live off campus, so don't be discouraged if people don't approach you, most of the time you will need to be the one to approach them.
Likes (Indian Food): The North Campus has a plethora of food options - you can find Indian food, Ethiopian food, Chinese food, Japanese food and so much more. Not one single meal will be boring. There is One World Cafe - a cafeteria with over 15 different cuisines from different countries. Buffalo is also famous for chicken wings (buffalo wings) so you'll find those everywhere. Tim Hortons is the spot to grab your coffee and snacks.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I think ever since President Trump took over, office and permanent immigration/settlement options have reduced a lot. H1B visas are hard to acquire and things like OPT and CPT are at risk too, so working in the US would prove to be a challenge. Given a chance, I would like to immigrate to the US but as of now the conditions feel very hostile towards those of other nationalities.

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

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.

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.
