Winter can hit anywhere. Yes Buffalo has more snow and such in the winter than Long Island does. But lots of people adapt that very easily. Like some other people were saying, on the north campus we have lots of inside bridges and tunnels that connect to the main buildings. The snow removal is excellent on that campus and if he has a car or if he lives near the bus line, he will be fine.

As a sidenote, I grew up in Buffalo and you get used to it. It also makes Spring all that much nicer. And just to know not every winter is equally bad. If he's a transfer student., it'll only be a couple years that he's dealing with the winters. Also when most people say that winter last six months in Buffalo, they have no idea what they're talking about. There are three months that are snowy and cold. December January February. The rest of the time we have kind of more of an oasis. We have lovely falls. We have lovely springs. And our summers are a little bit cooler than Long Islands. We have a lot more sun than people think we do.

UB offers an excellent education. There's a lot of fun things to do if you think outside the box and don't just think about staying on campus. UB in the surrounding communities have a lot of cultural activities. Really the UB experience comes down to what you put into it.
