关于SUNY-buffalo及buffalo城市的一些信息，供大家参考

海玫瑰的眼泪

今晚随便在网上闲逛，在google上搜了一下关于UB的内容。其中有几个帖子中美国网友说的话我觉得比较具有参考意义，感兴趣的朋友可以仔细看一下。

I know more about the community of Buffalo, as I live l0 minutes from campus. The undergraduates live on the North Campus, in a pretty suburb named Amherst. The medical school is located further downtown at the South Campus, inside the City of Buffalo. All your classes will be at the North Campus at first.

You can tell your family that the suburb of Amherst, where the undergrads live, is ranked "the safest town in America." Buffalo is the second largest city in NY State, and the 3rd poorest city in the country. Some Buffalo neighborhoods are hip and wonderful, others are sketchy. All of Amherst will seem safe and pleasant to you, I'm sure. Buses take students between the two campuses without stopping ：anywhere else inside the city. As an undergrad, you do not have to interact with sketchy neighborhoods in order to get to downtown Buffalo to explore some interesting venues there.

People who understand the City of Buffalo call it a "hidden gem." I agree. You'll find art museums (Albright Knox Museum and Birchfield Penny), professional sports (the Sabres for hockey, the Bills for football), architecture (Frank Lloyd Wright homes..the Darwin Martin House).

I find people in the community here down-to-earth, helpful and friendly, not at all snobbish.

On the winter weather, Buffalo has a public relations problem. Yes, the winter wind can be strong, and snowfalls are deep. But you'll be amazed at how quickly and well it is plowed. There's also a line of demarcation right in the middle of Buffalo with more snow ("lake effect snow") to the south of the city than to the north. There are many times when the national weather forecast films a blizzard "in Buffalo" that actually falls to the south of the city, so less so on the North Campus. Don't get me wrong -- there IS SNOW! But the general impression in NYC, due to weather forecasting reports, is that we live under much more snow than we actually experience. Late Spring (starting around April 15), all the Summer months and Autumn are beautiful weather here, which unfortunately does not make the news.

I don't know what aspect of medicine you will study someday, but the most famous medical facility here is Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

If your passport needs renewal, take care of that before you arrive here. Niagara Falls is a half-hour away. You can see The Falls from the American side without crossing the border, but it's also beautiful and different to view from the Canadian side. If you get homesick for city life other than Buffalo, you can also take a long weekend in Toronto, a 2-hour drive from UB.

Many UB students go to party in downtown Buffalo clubs, but you'll use your own judgment on whether that is for you. Good luck!!


觉得其中有几句话打消了我一些顾虑，我直接用中文说啦：
1.冬天下大雪，由于湖区效应，其实都下在buffalo南边了，UB的北校区没受什么太大干扰。而且城市清雪速度很快。春夏秋就很舒适了。
2.这个人称buffalo是hidden gem。有艺术中心，有冰球和橄榄球。
3.UB的北校区位于Amherst，是ranked "the safest town in America."

还有个帖子是个孩子在UB上学的家长说的，主要意思是表示对孩子和学校的满意。

小女子也是粗略的了解，如果有什么错误的地方也请大家包涵。谢谢大家啦~
