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 internship...

If you're interested in Computer Science and want to save money, this university is a good choice

Tips: I'll break it down into points and keep it simple. Pros: - Above decent Computer Science courses - Easy on the pockets compared to other universities. - One of the biggest campuses in the entire New York State - A wide range of daily events and exciting activities to enjoy with a variety of student clubs to join. Cons: - Harsh winters. (Although you get used to it) - Poor on-campus job fair for international students. (You'll have to rely on online applications) - Some programs require interna...

Difficult to find jobs. Overall, good university.

Tips: University is highly research-oriented with great labs. Good University with low tuition. If you join labs. Highly satisfied with the course and University. Getting visa is difficult. Specifically, H1B. It takes about 8-10 months to find a job.

Likes (Value for money): Tution fees is among the lowest in the US. The university is research-focused and research-oriented. You can finish Masters in less than 60 lakhINR. Good chances of getting campus dining jobs if you apply early. Few students get TA/RA too if you join labs...

Univeriversity at Buffalo is satisfactory and also value for money.

Tips: It's a good college and one of the top colleges in any state, but Buffalo as a city is small and there isn't much happening but because it is a public university and fees is less it makes it all worth it. It's a little hard to get a part-time job since it's limited but since the cost of living is less it's okay to not have one.

Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculty are very knowledgeable and they focus on practical experience rather than bookish knowledge. You gain a lot of hands-on knowledge of various tools and tec...

A sweet start but neverending anxiety and crying until you reach the last semeter.

Tips: If you are taking MS in CSE, it will be hectic. Especially because you have 4 courses every semester. Apart from that, the weather is harsh. Snowfall for 8 months. It is beautiful in summer, spring and fall but the winter is too much. You have to wear all your winter gear and make sure you wont get a frostbite. Try to find a part-time job to meet your expenses which would be helpful. Honestly, the curriculum was so hectic we didn't get the time to fully enjoy the student life in US. Although som...

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 wi...

It's good in curriculum. Student to professor ratio is okay.

Likes (Value for money): Lower in fees and part time jobs are readily available. The living cost is low. One of the most reputed colleges in New York State with low affordable fees. The International Student Association is very responsive too. They also...

Indian food in the campus is decent.

Tips: Choose your specialization based on your interests and if you are planning to do PhD or thesis, then know more about the professor, go through their website and probably drop a mail regarding your interest in their work. Try to connect with alumni or current students via LinkedIn who might help you in choosing courses and all.

Likes (Part time work): Part time jobs can be easily availed and most of the students will get into at least one of them. There are several opportunities from dining to tech squad, so anyone who w...

It’s a wonderful experience. Very liberating and educational.

Tips: The University at Buffalo is a great university with an amazing on-campus life. Almost everyone got placed via their internships and on-campus placements, and you make amazing friends and mentors in the process. You'll experience new cultures and it's very different from the Indian education system. I loved that I had to do so much research-based studies. Overall, I am fully satisfied with my course.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Everyone is up to date, and all the studies are case studies based, so it’s very research-oriente...
