How cold it gets.

I wish I knew who to interact with and who to avoid. There are kind people but there are also people who do not wish you well in term so success. That includes students, professors, and even advisors. Just be careful and dont be too naive. Be confident in your background. You are there too learn not to be the prom Queen or King.

Matthew

It is very cold in buffalo

Man Ting

Nothing. Everything is good here.

Amanda

I wish I had known the campus better. Especially as a freshmen. Its a wonderful campus, huge and full of life, but as a freshmen you can be easily be intimidated by the buildings and halls that can fit hundreds of people within them. I wish i had gone to my orientation, then I would have had a easier time navigating the school, alas whats done is done.

Edward

I wish I knew how great the school was before I came here, then I would have gotten here sooner.

Jordan

I wish I would have known how difficult getting around such a huge school would be and how confusing it could get.

Kristina

I wish I had realized how many opportunities UB truly has to offer. Coming from a small high school, I was not used to the idea of a multi-faceted education. UB gives you more than a degree, it gives you an experience. You can choose to participate as much or as little as you like, but had I been aware as a freshman, I would have gotten involved so much sooner!

Lawrence

That I have to get my Ph.d in order to have a career.
