You’ve been chosen to join one of the best and brightest classes in university history. Your academic performance, commitment and drive are just some of the reasons why we said yes. Now it’s our chance to show you why you should say yes. Here’s why students like you choose the Blue and White.

• Smart people go here. UB is a top 50 public university because of our outstanding students and world-class faculty. Our exceptional community is how we get to the top — and why we stay there.
• A UB degree gets you noticed. UB has a national reputation for excellence, and employers, professional schools and graduate programs are eager to find you. Just ask the 94 percent of 2015 grads who have put their degree to use.
• Our alumni network is big. Really big. 249,000 alumni span every state and 147 countries, which means you have a powerful community of support almost everywhere.
• Buffalo is a top college town. With a fast-growing economy and recently crowned as America’s Favorite City, Buffalo is a great place to spend four years — or more.
• Our campus is more than a backdrop. Oozefest. Sports. Fall Fest. 300+ student-run organizations. Never a dull moment. That’s how we do it here.
• We want you to build your own path. Whether you want to perform research alongside renowned faculty, improve the community through volunteering or study abroad to become a global citizen, we make it possible to discover and explore your greatest passions.
