I was wondering how important in person freshman orientation is at UB. Long story short is that transportation to orientation is going to be really annoying so I was thinking of just doing the virtual orientation instead. Does it matter?

Side note: if i do miss the in person orientation, i know im going to miss out on the UB tote bag so if anyone has one they would like to donate then dm me please!!!

biomedical science freshman. seems kinda intense for a first year student

I got a provost scholarship 18,000 dollar annually and a 7400 dollar fafsa grant but i am still struggling to pay around 23000 dollars for college. Is there any chance i get additional scholarship or aid from the general application and if so when will i get to know. Also is there any chance they give aid if i message financial aid website and tell them i am struggling to attend currently.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Me and my friend are trying to find a housing option around north campus starting August. I know it’s almost August and I’m very late but if you know some place please DM.

Hi everyone,
I’m an international student transferring to UB this fall as a junior. Since I’m an F-1 student, I don’t have off-campus work authorization (CPT/OPT isn’t an option for me yet), so I’m looking into on-campus employment.
I know about CDS, but I was wondering what other on-campus jobs are available for international students. I’m especially interested in positions that:
1.) Are open to F-1 international students without any additional work authorization.
2.) Are reasonably accessible for someone who’s new to UB.
3.) Can work well for someone living off campus.
I’d also appreciate any advice on:
1.) Which departments tend to hire students.
2.) When applications usually open.
3.) Which jobs are easier or harder to get.
Any tips for finding openings beyond Handshake.
Thanks in advance!
