Get to Know Buffalo

Students visiting Niagara Falls.

Buffalo is centrally located — within a short driving or flying distance to major Northeast cities like NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Toronto, Canada. Buffalo has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, from a redeveloped waterfront and revitalized neighborhoods to a burgeoning craft beer scene and over $1 billion in new investment. 

As an international border city, Buffalo is at the heart of various regional influences and opportunities, including one of the seven wonders of the world: the majestic Niagara Falls. 

Living Here

Buffalo is known as the "City of Good Neighbors" thanks to its friendly communities. Although we're the second-largest city in New York, we have a small-town feel with big-city amenities, like arts, entertainment, professional sports teams, and culinary opportunities for students to explore.
