I chose this university because of following factors: - My preferred course (MS in MIS) was offered here and was a 1-year course instead of 2 years - Fees were more affordable as compared to other universities - This is a public university and the university is reputed. I am proud to be associated with the University at Buffalo, SUNY. This university is an all-rounded package for anybody who wishes to pursue a Master's in the USA. Great course content, good professors, amazing and lively campus, in the heart of Buffalo city. The off-campus housing is decent in Buffalo, and grocery stores and restaurants are close by. This university helped me kickstart my career in the USA.

Great and lively campus. Many places to study peacefully, and a huge library. The campus did have many extracurricular activities and events too. WiFi is always available on campus for students.
