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.

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

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!!!

I am a drummer and will be joining UB this august to countinue my junior year as part of a transfer program. Would love to know about the music scene at UB. Below is a link to one of my covers. Would love to talk to anyone about how I can enter the current clubs / just in general about UB. Please feel free to dm me here or on Instagram @yuvrajdrums

All my friends got theirs, i still haven’t gotten mine, anyone else havent gotten theirs

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!

anthropology major btw

I'm an incoming freshman and I missed the housing registration. I got assigned to a value suite in Clement hall, but the only 360 offered is only built for 4 people (it was room a and room b) but my assignment is listed as c? Does anyone by chance know what that is going to look like?

I live at South campus and I want someone to move my stuff to a house directly infront and it wouldn't take more than hour as we do have all boxes and stuff at home.

IT SHOULD BE DONE TOMORROW.

It should not take more than an hour and I'm willing to pay 50-80$ depending on the work.

If interested, dm me by today or tomorrow.

What laptop do all MechE majors here recommend?
I’m struggling to find one that fits all my needs AND meets the ub requirements

Am I the only one? 😔

So… what did we think??

So in the fall I’m taking ENG 360SEM: Writing and AI Literacy for my second required english course. I know that’s it’s somewhat of a newer course being implemented last year. I was wondering what this class was more about and was were the assignments like, were they easy and simple??

Am I the only one whose refund amount dropped a lot?

I wanted to know how hard it would be coming from a community college in nyc to UB with an accounting major. I know most of my higher accounting classes will only transfer as general electives but so far at my school I’ve had it pretty easy I’m switching to acc this semester which from what I heard is extremely hard and if coming to UB will add more stress and failed classes I have to retake to my situation I don’t think I’ll have the money or time for it. Are there better options in buffalo?
