| Quite Bright | I absolutely loved my experience at Canisius College. 99% of students and faculty are extremely approachable and friendly. I've never once had an issue with getting help outside the classroom. As an education major I can say that the faculty in this department is top notch. They teach you what you need to know and are constantly concerned with your success. I'm graduating this year and I would not change a thing about my time at Canisius. If your looking for a campus fit for a postcard than don't come here. If your looking for a quality education paired with a great "college experience" than Canisius is the place for you. | Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: A- |  | | |

I hate canisius college! The teachers are racist, abusive, and promiscuous. The buildings are litterally falling apart, buffalo is a shit hole, the only good thing is spot coffee. The bathrooms are never cleaned. There are wild animals running all over the campus and shitting everywhere. The campus is dirty and smells bad. A professor was fired last year for badly injuring his students with a bunson burner. Public safety carries around tazers and will not hesitate to shock you--srsly!! EVERYONE IS ALWAYS NAKED!!! there has been an outbreak of canibalism in the last year. everyone is ugly. You will get raped and or murdered if you come here. There have been 5 cases of decapitation in the past year. I have had to go to the hospital twice for internal bleeding because the school food poisened me. In my first week here I lost a finger. the dorm rooms dont have doors and the showers dont have curtains, most of them are community showers, and on a time schedule. Electricity tends to go out. There's no heat. NO HEAT! The RA's tend to brutally enslave their residents, and gossip hatefully on retarded people. It's over priced and the teachers aren't qualified- they are just evil promiscuous and dirty. They don't let asian people come here, you will get kicked out and raped if they find that you have an asian friends. The tunnels are infested with bats and ringworm, the ceilings leak toxic cancerous pus. Dont walk in the tunnels alone you will die. The floor boards are rotting and unstable. Churchill tower used to be a nazi prison camp. Other than that its a great school.. just dont come here! :) | |  | | |

Canisius college is a small private jesuit school in Buffalo. If you are looking for that "college experience" do NOT come here. This school is BIG on the jesuit tradition. Don't come here if you plan to party, be lazy, and skip classes. The parties arent worth it and the education is far too expensive to put to waste. The night life is questionable. Parties are far and few, and not always fun, but most parties are literally across the street, which is convenient. Downtown is usually fun if you have a fake ID and endless amounts of money.
The school is really small, about 4,000 students, I think. while that has its advantages, it really becomes annoying. It's like highschool. You see the same people every day. Classes are pretty small, which can be helpful.
The campus is kept in good condition,
it is pretty in the summer time and spring, but none of the buildings match and churchill tower is unnecessarily ugly. The Church and Montante Cultural Center are both beautiful. The tunnels are helpful in the winter, but if you are going anywhere besides Old Main for class (and you will) they are useless. The Gym, health science building and parking lot are a good hike away from the dorms, which is annoying. There are shuttles but they take forever.
The food is SO bad. Most of it is processed or greasy and dont expect a healthy meal here. Vegetarians dont have a prayer. Upper deck is good the first month but gets old fast, its also horrible for you. Dining hall is hit or miss and is better to be avoided all together. Old main is the best place to go to eat, the pasta is usually good and so are the soups. Tim hortons is convenient but doesnt accept the meal plan. Street side is expensive and also doesn't always accept meals. The meal plans should be reconfigured, and the food places need better hours.
The education here is known for being pretty good. The teachers, like anywhere, vary from horrible to really good. They have a tendancy to hire boring teachers. I have found that most of the classes are almost unnecessary if you have the book, although attendance is usually required.
The dorms are really nice, especially in Dugan. Quiet hours are a big deal. Avoid drinking in dorms. The RA's are strict and come down hard on drinking and drugs. Public safety is ruthless. You will get written up eventually for one thing or another.
As far as location goes, I personally hate it. Canisius is located in Buffalo, in a less than favorable part of town. Before coming here I had heard so many good things about Buffalo, now that I'm here I don't understand. The town might have been glorious 100 years ago, but now it is dirty and vacant for the most part. I know many people who do LOVE buffalo, most of them are bills or sabers fans. Crime is well known and its not safe to walk (especially by yourself) after dark. The campus security, however, is awesome so you will at least be safe within the actual college. Buffalo is REALLY COLD... seriously, it's REALY COLD. The weather is so unpredictable, and so windy, and so snowy. it's rediculous. If it doesn't snow it's probably going to rain. It's almost always cold. Sun doesn't exist here. Shopping is good, you'll find almost any store you are looking for at either the bouldevard or galleria malls, which are close enough. There are also targets, and walmarts near by. Restaurants are all over the place, almost every chain restaurant is within ten minutes by car. If you don't have a car you won't want to come here. The bus/metro system is reliable but slow, and cabs are super expensive. Depending on what you are looking for Canisius College might be perfect for you. Really religious people seem to like it alot. Everyone I know either loves it or hates it, honestly most of them don't like it. As far as I'm concerned the school itself is incredibly overpriced and far too obesessed with tradition. For what we are offered its really not a good trade off. I am transfering. | Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Faculty Accessibility: F |  | | |

| Bright | I have gone to Canisius for 2 years and I honestly feel like I have wasted my money. You can get the exact education for a third of the price at a SUNY school. Many of the students that go here are dumb and lazy because they come from wealthy famalies. The only thing that you need to get acceped into Canisius is a high school degress because of the fact that tuition is so ridiciolus. If you spent one day here talking to some of the students you would be amazed at how easy it really is to attend this school. One of the plus sides of going to Canisius is the fact that it has such a high reputation in the Buffalo area that most of its graduates will end up with a job just because of the schools reputation. If you want a college with easy coursework for lazy yuppies then this is your schoo. | Campus Maintenance: A+, Social Life: D |  | | |
