University at Buffalo Top Questions

(See previous post).

I couldn't have asked for better classmates, the girls in my major (there are only about two boys) are exactly like me and I made instant friends with them, when choosing a major I found that people in my chosen major have the same personality which usually happens, people with certain personalities gravitate towards the same major.

My classmates at the University at Buffalo come from vastly different backgrounds, but are almost entirely united in the pursuit of academic excellence, as well as the pursuit of lasting comraderie.

My classmates are extremely studious.

My classmates come from all different parts of the world; some from down the street, some across the country, some accross the world.

My classmates were very friendly. Everyone is helpful if you have any questions or concerns regarding course material. The majority of the time your really just trying to focus on the lectures, but if I was ever unsure of professor expectations my classmates were a valuable resource.

Classmates are engaged in learning, although there are also many who slack off or don't take the professor seriously.

There are so many students and professors that span the state, country and the world here at UB. They come from every kind of religous background and ethnicity and no one will really feel out of place and if by some off chance that you do because you haven't met someone yet there is a club for it, whatever it is! Politics, health, religion, sports, hobbies,LGBT,everything!. Many people are open minded and friendly, especially as freshman. In the freshman courses you are mixed in with all types of majors and people so making friends with a diverse group is definitely possible. As you get more into your major it is harder to meet people of other majors because the classes you will be taking will have student with the same major but that is not to say you can not take other classes that are not part of your major for fun, it may lead to a minor and definitely to a more well rounded person.

They are very laid back.

My classmates are unfocused in class and frequently text messaging, especially in large lecture halls.
