Dislikes

Required Exams for Admission
Course Curriculum
10
- Syllabus is absoloutely relevent to the cources we opt for, we have a lot of options to choose from.
- I did not opt for Research, but there are plenty of opportunities available.
- Even to opt classes, we had too many options(in terms of timing, professors, days).
Admission Experience
- Within all the uiversities I applied for, UB had good weightage in terms of academics, extra Curricular activities and living options.
- The more important reason I opted for UB was because it had a Powerlifting club, I'm a professional Powerlifter and I needed a chance to build a nice portfolio using that as well.
- My Scores: GRE: 314/340, IELTS:7.5
Class Schedule
10
- We could opt as many classes needed in a day according to our schedule, I'd choose Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday.
- Classes run through 8 am - 9 pm - with enough breaks in between.
- Average number of students depends on each class. anywhere from 40 - 100.
Faculty
10
- The Faculty and Stuff are very much qualified, Most Professors hold PHD from top universities, a lot of Professors are from UB itself.
- Dr. Raj Sharman is one of the prof that left an Incredible impact on me. He's the professor I worked under for two semesters. His Research always gets me into thinking how can a person be so passionate about it. He's around 60+ but the enthusiasm he has, the energy he brings, the knowledge he owns has made a huge impact. I will forever be grateful for his guidance, his mentorship and to even just trusting me and giving me a chance to work under him.
Campus Life
10
- Campus life is amazing, we have three campus - North, South and Downtown.
- I can't even take the number of clubs available, because there are so many, some that I'm not even aware of.
- We've got 4 huge libraries with all the facilities available.(Numerous Book options, Laptop rental programs, Private study rooms, Research facilities, Recording rooms etc).
- One of the Libraries on South Campus has a infrastucture like Hogwarts (Abbott Library)
- UB is known for hosting events, on any random day, there's one or the other event going on.
- UB has amazing facilities for staying fit, UB Recreation centers(Gym), Sports clubs, Yoga classes, Dance classes, Huge Pools, Basket Ball Couts, Badminton Courts, etc)
Part Time Jobs
- Off-Campus jobs are not available for Iternational students. The base salary for any part - time on campus is 15.5$ per hour it can go upto 24 based on roles. To get a part time on campus, we apply via UB Linked, Handshake, or reach out to professors/department directly.
- In my class almost 80% of them had a Part-time, I had two jobs on campus. I was a TA and Social and Community Service Manager for Hispanic Heritage Council, A students has to go beyond their comfort zone and reach out to people, network and ask for opportunities available.
- Almost 20-30% students got GA/TA/RA positions. But there were plenty of other Part time jobs available. For ex: In UB school of mgmt - there are almost 300 students(MIS,MSBA,BA) and every semester 50 students get hired for Project Clinic, which gives opportunity for so many of them each semster.
