Whose excited for Buffalo?!?!

Don't go flying to Buffalo and forget important things though (you probably won't return anytime soon if you live outside the U.S), make sure you are well prepared before your big trip to your second home in the U.S!

To save you time, here's a link prepared by our office to help you as your prepare for your trip to the USA!

Although we don’t recommend it, you can join International Student Orientation late. We will have a Late Arrivals table, where you can check in. However, since the orientation schedule is quite full, we urge you to come as soon as you can so that you don’t miss too much.

Did you like what you see at Governors? If you're not satisfied, look forward to our next video in our Residence Halls Series!

Up next: Ellicott Complex

This 38-building mega structure is the largest residence hall at UB with various amenities, more than what Governors have to offer.

Here's a sneak peak of what Ellicott Complex looks like!

We'll try to get the video posted sometime next week or earlier.

Curious about the dorms you'll be staying at? Well, say no more!
We'll be posting an exclusive video on each of the dorms (Governors, Ellicott, Clemens/Goodyear) so you guys can have a better picture of what it looks like.

First up is: Governors Complex

Hi everyone, since we haven't formally introduced ourselves through video, here's a short clip of us hanging out during one of the nights :) Unfortunately, Ambassador Devashish and Liesel were busy that night so they couldn't be in the video :( Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy it! Next up on our Vlog series will be the dorms so look forward to it!
