Among the nation’s finest public research universities, the University at Buffalo offers a wide array of degree programs across its three campuses.
UB’s bustling North Campus, where most of the university’s core academic programs are offered, is one of the most modern college campuses in the nation. Opened in the early 1970s, the North Campus currently has more than 100 buildings, including two newly opened facilities: Greiner Residence Hall for sophomores (opened in 2011) and Davis Hall, part of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (opened in 2012).
The picturesque South Campus, located three miles away from the North Campus in a residential section of Buffalo, was the university's home for much of the 20th century. Here, ivy-covered buildings and a historic bell tower complement new research and teaching facilities. The schools of Architecture and Planning, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dental Medicine, Public Health and Health Professions, and Nursing are located on the South Campus. The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is relocating to the newly constructed Kapoor Hall on the South Campus in the summer of 2012.
The recent addition of the UB Downtown Gateway (the former M. Wile building) adds to the growing presence of the university in downtown Buffalo. The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and later the dental medicine, nursing, pharmacy and public health schools will migrate to the Downtown Campus, supported by a full range of housing, dining, recreation, and wellness services, as well as facilities for research, development, and commercialization of biomedical knowledge.
Regular bus transportation, a 10-minute ride, shuttles students between the two campuses, and from South Campus travelers can take Buffalo’s Metro Rail service all the way downtown.
