The teachers cannot teach.Quite BrightAerospace Engineering
The teachers cannot teach. Engineering prof expect you to magically come up with answers without doing in class examples or at least post some examples online. They go on and on about random crap and they have no beginning and no end. the kids are freaking annoying and rude especially the new york city natives. the only thing i like about this place is the animals i see near the lake. the clubs are stuck up. there are too many foreigners with uppity attitudes and smell terrible i wish they would leave. i shouldve left when i had the chance.

UB is a very international-friendly school.Quite BrightAerospace Engineering
UB is a very international-friendly school. I learned a great deal about other people and other cultures while I was there, but as far as actually learning anything about your major, I don't recommend UB.

The vast majority of teachers/professors (10 out of 12) and TA's (5 out of 5) did not speak english as their primary language. This made life ESPECIALLY difficult in math and physics classes, as apparently different parts of the world learn math and physics differently than we do in the US.The entire University treats you like a number. You will get very little help from advisors, and whatever help you get will come about solely because it's their job to at least try to help. You will receive nothing but headaches and additional paperwork from administrative offices (much like many campuses, I'm sure). Letters you receive from the University are addressed "Dear Student".
