Oh my day!! I am absoultely mortified. When I signed up in August of 2022 for my two kids i was…read moreexcited. The kids loved their tutoring and they were great. My son began having sessions offered at school so I removed him for the package. Proir to signing up I specifically asked if the hours were not were not used will they roll over. The rep insured me that they did. Even after removing my son we had an additional four hours available for usage. I thought gee this is great my daughter can use the extra hours around testing time. Since the rep told me they would roll over I did not ask for a refund for my son. My mother passed away in October and we were traveling back and forth from California to Indiana in order to resolved everthing. Because thier rep told me hours would roll I was not worried and focused more on my family. It wasnt until today 1/23/2023 that I went to update my payment infor that I saw the " credit expired notices" . I was like what the heck and immediately called. The rep I spioke to bascially told me I was SOL because its in their guidelines. So basicelly their reps do a bait and switch to get you to sign up. The rep offered no help and was like basically I can help you cancel and you will klikely not get a refund. Total bs more than 500 bucks down the drain. I trusted you guys!! You are liars and scammers! Your supposed to help and be an assisant but Ill guve you an A for you business structure and ripping people off. People please find your own private tutor or a place were you pay as you go, *****++ update 1/26/2023 When the client experience department reached out I was 100% sure they were going to give me the runaround and offer me expired coupons to make up for it. What did happen was actually quite beautiful and I was brought to tears shortly after. I spoke with what I can only imagine to be an angel ( not kidding at all). This angel was named Elise B. and this was by far the best experience i've ever had in my life when dealing with disputed matters. Elise B. offered more than an opportunity to resolve my situation, she offered what most people fail to do and that is "Listen" . Most people listen to respond rather than to understand where a person was coming from. Losing my mother the last 90 days has rocked my world and I watch people lose compassions for human decency because they are in pain. Elise B. made one simple statement that changed the course and tone of the entire conversation and that was " I am ready to help , would you please tell me what happened and what would you you like to see to make this right." I was honestly paused by the very sincere way she approached that I was almost rendered speechless ( like omg someone cares!!! ) . She let me talk , she didn't interrupt and let me explain how I felt information was miscommunicated and that I felt helpless. Some may think I overreacted, but there is no overreacting when it comes to my child's education and ensuring her future. My child sought Varsity and found not only home but an amazing tutor who has become more like an aunt/sister which has increased my child's learning experience. So you can see it was devastating on having to end the relationship. Not only that but I work hard for every dollar I earned and I refuse to waste giving light of inflation and what not in our country. With that being said , thank you so much Elise B. for crediting my child her hours back and restoring my faith back into Varsity tutors so that my child can continue striving for the best with her amazing tutor. This is how you handle customer freaking service. 10/10 . Elise B. you absolutely made my day and I hope this could be a first line of defense instead of the last.

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!!

DANGEROUS CAMPUS!!!! NO POLICE PRESENCE at basketball game…read moreon 3/1/25!!!! Attended the basketball game with some friends. The place was packed!! Did not see any police maybe 1 officer? Saw what appeared to be security guards, but no police officers....not sure what's up with that? I thought Canisius University had a police department? Says online they have a police department at Canisius University. I saw some people that appeared to be security guards at the game, but there were only a few of them. There were a bunch of fights breaking out at the game and after...... and NO ONE HAD CONTROL of the situation! It was REALLY SCARY!!!! People were fighting, saw a door get ripped off a bathroom!!! NUTS.... I don't understand if people pay so much money to go to school here...where is the police department during a game when there are so many people and anything......LITERALLY ANYTHING could happen???!!! Heard from some friends that attend Canisius University that their entire police department has been leaving because of the Chief of Canisius's Police that got hired. Not sure if that is true or not, but I can tell you there was NO law-enforcement presence at the basketball game from a firsthand experience. I think I literally saw 1 Canisius University police officer. Pretty sad if it is true that Canisius would keep somebody like that leader of their Police Department in that position if that person is causing and driving all of the officers away from the university that are supposed to be protecting it? Makes no sense, right... Not sure who makes the decisions on brining in Police Chiefs, but I can tell you that I would not be paying to go to school there with that many problems if that is what's really going on because rumors are circulating all over the campus about it. Found all the details above out after talking to people at the game that go to the school. Anybody could've walked in there and there could've been a major problem. NO POLICE!!!!! I don't think I'm gonna be going back to anymore games there. The game was great, however I value my life!!!!

The staff is accommodating and considerate. We love that the younger levels feed into their UPK program. The drop off and pick up times are extremely convenient and give us a lot of flexibility.

They have playgrounds for different ages and also take the kids on outings whenever possible. If anyone has any specific questions about our experiences here, feel free to send me a message.

Most 300 level were in small classrooms. The north campus building are very odd looking. I was told by a UB staff that this was done purposely. I have visited a handful of other SUNY colleges and UB is by far the biggest and nicest. D1 football here. HORNS UP. Besides the university, Buffalo is a great city to live in. It is considered a large city but is small for being a large city. There are a ton of things to do year round. Amazing food options. Bills and Sabres. If you are interested in the SUNY system, would prefer a large campus and has the major you are wanting I would highly recommend applying to UB.

The lunch area was dirty. The location is in the heart of the city. You can find many restaurants within walking distance. I might personally prefer like a bigger space but it was okay.

Nichols is probably the best place I have ever played football (soccer) in the Buffalo area. The field is perfect.

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.
