Canisius University

"Campus is looking good day or night. I haven't been there since I was like 12 through 15 years old. In my youth I was among the very few people capable of swim a full length & a half underwater."

"I am a Canisius graduate of 2013 and I do not regret going to this school. To get the most out of this school, you have to know certain people. These people are the professors, your classmates, and maybe the staff that make the food ;). In all seriousness, the classes were small and the professors were willing to help. This college has resources at your disposal so do not be afraid to use them. Now, it is an expensive school so keep that in mind, but the programs are fantastic. Just keep in mind that it is near the East Side and some neighborhoods are not so good. During the day you will be fine walking through them but at night I would keep an eye out and check your surroundings if you are walking around them. Other than that, have fun!"

"I went to Canisius for a 4 year triple major and I really enjoyed it. The classes are small and the professors actually care. It has a great business program, but there are a lot of gen-ed prereqs that you need to take which is somewhat of a shame. Highly recommend getting involved with groups and clubs though. Networking is one of the best things you can do. You will have some professors taking attendance, and I know, sounds a bit weird for college (especially because you are the one paying), but it only furthers the fact that the professors care. All of the professors have their doctorates and many have real-world business experience which is a big plus. Since graduating, I still keep in-touch with a few professors. You'll get as much out of it as you put in. If you try and sit back and be invisible, you won't get as much out of it. If you're actually active and participate in class, you're going to have a good and positive experience. I would recommend Canisius. Have made many life-long friendships with students as well as professors. Get involved though!"

"From the day I stepped on campus I knew Canisius was going to be my home for four years of undergrad. The small classes helped me get to know a lot of my teachers on a personal level. I was able to be very involved in campus programming and I came out of my shell throughout my four years on campus. I was able to balance clubs, school and work study, while enjoying all of the activities that the school offered throughout the week. Being in the heart of Buffalo provided a great opportunity for me to learn about a new city. I enjoyed the ability to take the subway into the city or drive a few minutes to Niagara Falls for a visit. Go Griffs!"

"Spent 1 year there and it was the best of my 5 years in university. They offer tons of awesome classes (in litterature and history at least, I can't speak for the rest), the library is super modern and everything is done to make the students feel good. A few teachers were so-so but on the average they were really helpful."
