[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not hard to get to SUNY Buffalo, and Buffalo is not a small city.[/quote]

I'll give you that.  But many of them are difficult to get to/from.  Drove by several on our college tours (didn't visit any, just nearby/thru the towns) and many are remote and not that exciting.  Nothing like Madison or Ann Arbor[/quote]

Well, having gone there, I loved it so much. It was a great city for music and food. 20 minutes from Niagara Falls, which has only gotten better. The campus isn’t beautiful, it’s true, but it’s also not decrepit. Being OOS made me unique and, as a shy teenager, it gave me something to talk to people about that was interesting. I had an idyllic college experience there. It was a diverse set of students because NY is such a diverse state. City kids and country kids and everything in between. I remember kids telling me “Buffalo is where you go when you’re smart but didn’t want to work that hard”. It was true. My classmates were mostly intelligent but not overachievers. When I started working is when I really could tell how good my education had been. I was able to really hit the ground running. When my daughter told me she would apply there, I was so excited I nearly started jumping. I seriously doubt she will go there, though. [/quote]
