Canisius is one of my alma mater's, as I graduated a few months ago. That being said, yes, other…read morepeople are correct about their $$ issues. However, this has not directly impacted students as of yet. Approved classes being offered are dwindling, but each department has their strengths and weaknesses. I had no issue getting courses to complete my Communication and Business degree due to some finagling with my department chairs. If I did not have that relationship, I would not have been able to fulfill both my degree paths. In addition, I was a transfer student, and it was not completely explained to me that I would have to take 2 religion, and 2 philosophy courses on top of fulfilling all of the capstones. That information should be communicated far better than it was, as I am still writhing because that cost me an additional $20K. I guess that is why the gentleman that put my transfer package together is no longer with Canisius. Overall, most of my professors were stellar; specifically Dr. Dahlberg, Dr. Braunscheidel, and Dr, Haselswerdt. As well, I loved all of my courses with Prof. Nancy Lynch, Prof. Rick English, and Dr. Foster. Having those amazing educators/professors on staff saved me from transferring again after an initial disappointing semester with a few adjuncts and tenured staff. I can only speak with ethos to the Communication, Business & Political Science Department, but if you are thinking of attending Canisius in one of those concentrations, do it. As well, the Athletic teams are stellar. I even did crew for a bit, but found I did not have the time to dedicate to it. So, if you are thinking of attending Canisius for athletics. Definitely do as well. As well, take Business Ethics PHI242 (it fulfills a business & philosophy requirement, but also the ethics attribute) with Dr. Sean Donaghue-Johnston (he is an adjunct, but let me tell you, and amazing one). He's absolutely fantastic, you'll learn a lot, and expand your mind a bit, which never actually hurts :) I've taken one star off for the transfer process, and the $ issues, but feel I received a stellar education due to the folks I mentioned above. Go Griffs!!

Why is it that political opinions have to be a part of everything, even a graduation ceremony. What a disgrace this is. That last speaker had to bad mouth the President of the United States.

This is a very old campus and was outgrown in the 60-70s. Thats when they built the North Campus in the suburbs. Much larger and newer. Houses plenty of the schools, but not all. This campus features buildings built in the late 1800 and early 1900s. Old stone. Brick. Beautiful outside walkways. Huge hallways. Marble floors and stairs worn down by years of kids steps. The history here is deep and takes us back to a time when the school was not yet in the State system. It was founded by Millard Fillmore, who was then a local lawyer. He went on to be president. The school went on to be the largest in the NY State system. This campus still houses the schools of architecture and nursing. Future dentists go to class on this campus. There are plenty of students who live in this area and take busses between the campuses. On summer days you'll see students all around here on the lawns and benches. There are often lectures on this campus that are open to the public.

How do you rank a campus? Well, I just did. Architecturally, this campus boasts a traditional…read moreAmerican college feel with stone buildings and neoclassicism. More recently, the campus has new outdoor spaces to attract people outside in warmer months. There is a UB Stampede bus, shuttle, and Metro Rail to connect this campus to UB North and UB downtown. Also, it's more affordable to live near this campus than the other two campuses. Many park on property when using the rail line. A couple downsides to the campus are the wind and spread of buildings. The wind can be a bit much at times because it's at the highest elevation in the city. This isn't to say much for a flat city, but it does matter when winds come off Lake Erie. I wish buildings were closer, so that walks wouldn't feel far. Maybe a small brew pub on campus would allow for libations to help foster that Live, Work, and Play feel of UB2020.

There's a whole department dedicated to it, and I earned a graduate certificate in creative problem solving and change leadership. A unique feature is the department's rich history connected to Alex Osborn, the inventor of brainstorming.

A definite cool added feature for those interested in the field of creativity and a true resource for the campus and local nonprofit community!

Nichols is probably the best place I have ever played football (soccer) in the Buffalo area. The field is perfect. Unfortunately I have a very poor record here... in finals, I've always been on the losing side. Then again I've always been on the massive underdog team in finals, and it's a miracle that those teams have even made it to the final game... but yes, never won a trophy here. Nevertheless, thoroughly appreciate the surface and the facilities. I won't mention the guy that took me out here on this field and severely damaged my ankle. On purpose. That kind of thing is hard to forgive but what can you do. That's life.

I called the 4 places she suggested and was quoted between $985 and $1500--not including the crown. Thankfully I remembered UB Dental School is in the area and called them. The prices for a root canal range between $390 and $540. (Still not great for a teacher who does not get paid for the summer, but way better than anywhere else!) Time is relative here. My appointment was at 1 PM, and it is now 1:40 and I was just brought into a room to sit for a while. After several xrays and a grad student who was literally watching the World Cup while dealing with me AND giving me updates, I was scheduled for a $375 root canal with him for July 26. (With a student the price is about $190, but it may take 3 visits for 1 root canal.) July 16-- received a call. The entire clinic is closed that week, and they are not scheduling until Aug 9th now. Made a appt for then.

Want to get dirty?…read more This is the place to come play with mud. Sanctioned for adults no less. Seriously, located in the old Pierce Arrow Building (which houses many many things, BTW), on Great Arrow and Elmwood (across from Carriage Trade Pastries), is a ceramics studio. You can take classes here, which are small and offer personalized service. You will learn a lot in the six week beginner class. You will learn how to "throw clay", make a bowl or perhaps a mug, glaze it and actually use it! How cool is that? Already know how to throw a bowl? You can also join here and come as often as you like. Its a monthly membership I think, and you pay for firing of course. Clay is priced reasonably, the space is nice, all the tools are there. All thats missing is you.

Buffalo clay art center is amazing To the chick named Cherie…read morethat gave a one star review, get the hell out of here with that noise. You didn't even visit the center or have any experience with the staff or the facilities yet you're leaving a one star review because you couldn't manage to have the problem-solving skills to contact the owners. I know for a fact that the guys at Buffalo Clay art are not hard to reach. in fact one time I contacted them a few days before Christmas because I wanted some suggestions on which kind of pottery wheel to buy and they got back to me right away. I was shocked at such a quick response time on the most hectic day of the Christmas season . They had nothing to gain no funds to earn from answering my question. Again they are not hard to reach but some part of me is glad that Cherie wasn't able to reach them because she sounds like an ass. I guess that's how you become yelp elite by posting comments for businesses you don't have any real experience with. In terms of my experience with the actual business, because I've taken at least two classes there and several members of my friends and family have taken classes there I can say that buffalo clay art center is a wonderful place to learn about pottery the people that teach the classes are experts they truly love what they do and they are amazing at it I cannot suggest a better place to learn from!!

Back in 1992-1996 during my time at Gow, many events like school battles in Triva, school plays, musicals, dances and sporting events happened at The Gow School which Buffalo Seminary took part in. Males that knew how to talk to women or got by on their looks might hook up with one of these outstanding ladies at a school dance or at The Galleria Mall. One of the most memorable times with Buffalo Seminary was a battle of wits triva.  One lady was just getting all the answers for her school.  I don't remember the outcome now, but I believe Buffalo Seminary won the game, but not by a lot. I also believe I was hand picked to do one of these types of challenges,  but backed out of fear.  Looking back I regret doing this.  I think of the words Buddy Revell said to Jerry Mitchell.  "You didn't even try...How does that feel?"...yes the quote was edited,  but if you have seen the movie Three O' Clock High, then you already know the whole quote.  Back in the day, I never got the chance to date one of these ladies, but I didn't know how to talk to women until my second dance my 9th grade year.  Confidence is the key word here and sitting on the steps of a dance room and not making a move for 2 hours can be very depressing.   I did not miss an opportunity the second time around.   If I got rejected, I moved onto the next woman at the dance.  Education  at its finest. Most women were happy to be asked to dance.   Buffalo Seminary is still The Gow School's Sister School, but now The Gow School is a co-ed school. One day maybe Buffalo Seminary will follow suit.
