The best way to describe UB is that it's a place of mediocrity… At best. Both campuses don't offer much to look at, besides those oddly placed columns off to the side of a dilapidated north campus. The food doesn't ever get complimented further than "pretty good" and all decent restaurants are a car ride away. The education can be compared to a rigorous junior year in high school and nothing more. Some of the professors (the ones who speak adequate English) have a whole lot of genius but are forced to dumb down the rest of the class to match the low intelligence level of the majority. I've met a sampling of the mere ounce of class there is at this school, and they don't have nice things to say either. The Greek life is just as weak as the education. The houses are terrible, the Greeks are undeservingly pretentious, and nothing says "we don't have enough beer" than never having enough beer. So by the time it's 9 at night you get to choose between paying $35 for a cab to head to crummy downtown buffalo to pay $5 a drink at the bars or going to the library where you'll try not to laugh at the couple making out or the girl wearing a snooki poof. If you're looking for a good time, I hope you're into average looking assholes or loose girls who don't have a clue. If you found any of these things appealing, then you found yourself a home! Just make sure you move in before sundown, or your stuff will get stolen and your bike will get pushed sideways for absolutely no reason at all. Enjoy!
