[quote=Anonymous]I went to Graduate school at Canisius and am from the city.  It's very cute to see people call the 2nd largest city in New York State with a population of 257 thousand a "small town".  The Animal Behavior program is extremely well known nationwide and yes, everyone knows everyone else in Buffalo but that's a good thing.  Canisius is a small school (FYI the main buildings on campus are all connected by tunnels so you don't even have to go outside in winter or even bring a jacket to class on most days) and I found the faculty and administration to be amazingly supportive- they went above and beyond to help me with some challenging issues that made it extremely tough to continue my degree and I was able to finish up without issue.  It's had enrollment struggles before and because there are many local students they don't always fill the dorms but they have an incredibly strong reputation in Western New York and are well connected in Buffalo.  Buffalo is an incredible place to live- if you like watching sports in particular.  It's experienced a real renaissance and there are lot of very cool places to spend time for concerts, festivals etc.  It does tend to be quite gloomy in the winter because of it's place on the Lake and the grey, dreary days can really get to you...but the "nice" season between snow from mid-April to late September (well, sometimes mid-September.  It depends) is really amazing.  Buffalo doesn't actually get all that cold (part of why it gets so much snow) but I suppose it's all relative.  Canisius is close to some very good parts of town but also to some bad parts of town, about 3 or 4 blocks behind campus things start to get a little dicey but there aren't issues on campus.  It might feel like a small town, yes, but it's an urban campus and students need to be aware of that.  
From the perspective of a Canisius alum, Canisius keeps getting better and better and it's wonderful to see that.  When I think of Canisius, I think of a warm, friendly place.  I think of running into a professor form semesters before in Old Main and chatting with them and before you know it 30 minutes has gone by.  It's a gem of a little school, and I recommend it highly.
