Would you recommend it?
We don't really have a choice to be anywhere else. You have to be prepared to share a four-person apartment in a building that isn't very new. Let's just say that's the weak point of the exchange.

🎓 Uni life at canisius college
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
All the classes are fairly straightforward, and the professors are very kind, attentive, and understanding when it comes to travel and absences. Personally, I really enjoyed the sports management and sports communications classes.
Do you have some tips?
The university provides access to numerous sports facilities (soccer field, basketball court, gym). Classes are very relaxed and there are many opportunities to travel. However, routine quickly sets in when you don't travel, as the city doesn't offer a wide range of activities and the public transportation network is quite limited.
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
As for me, I loved my trips to Canada, to Toronto and Montreal. The culture is incredible and the parties are really cool there. And as for trips within the country, my trip to New York will remain an unforgettable memory, as will my trip to Miami.
🌆 Buffalo (NY) vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Buffalo (NY)?
We are in the United States, so there are plenty of choices if you like fast food. When it comes to meals, you have two options: eat at the university cafeteria, which is a large all-you-can-eat buffet with lots of choices, but you have to pay an additional $2,000 for the semester, or shop at Aldi or Target, keeping in mind that you will need to buy all your kitchen utensils (pots, cutlery, glasses) when you arrive at your apartment. Public transportation is free with your university card, but I don't recommend using it at night if you're alone. The cost of living is still relatively high. Keep in mind that at the beginning of the semester, you'll pay a student bill of $5,000, which will cover all housing and insurance costs.
