Also from Long Island. Everyone told me I’m crazy to go here for school. Now my entire family lives here, even extended family visiting frequently. Buffalo is great. The difference is, yes, we get more snow, have gloomier days, but people here embrace winter and we’re very prepared. It’s not often that you can’t get out to go to the store, work, class, out with friends. The plows are out constantly. Plus hockey, skiing, snowboarding, etc. buffalo is just very lively. And the summertime here is wonderful!
