UB is unique in the fact that although it is a large univrsity, its fairly compact and easily accessable. In other words you don't have to be a marathon runner to get to each of your classes. It is also very involved with th community, like when I was dancing they opened their doors so that our small school could actually perform on stage. For me its especially unique since I have been visiting the school since I was a toddler. My brother even attended dome classes as a fetus.

My school offers varieties of research opportunities for students to volunteer or as a credit for their major. There are varities of volunteering programs for students related to their major.

The school is very large, so it feels like it's a small city itself. There's a transportation system, hundreds of clubs, and tons of places to eat.

The other schools I considered were part of a big city, while UB seemed to stand out on its own.
