Hi, friends! I'm a current graduate student at University at Buffalo. I promised I would come back here this year to pay it forward, so here I am. If you have any questions about grad school in general or UB's program, feel free to reach out. I'm rooting for you! 

This is what I wrote in my emails:
"I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my application for admission in the X program for Fall 2018. I was wondering whether you’d be able to provide some insight as to why I was not accepted.  Was there a weakness in my academics, personal statement, GREs that I did not realize? Is there anything you could share regarding what I could have done to be a stronger candidate?  Your feedback would enable me to be a stronger candidate in the future. Thank you in advance. "
 
Best of luck!

Hello! I'm currently an undergrad at UMass about to graduate!
The majority of grad students live off-campus. Getting around with the PVTA (it's FREE with student ID) is really helpful since I haven't had a car for the duration of my schooling. It is doable to get to and from campus for sure. However, using it for grocery shopping and whatnot, can possibly be annoying. I've been on a meal plan all four years so I can only hypothesize haha.
The majority of my grad student friends live at the Cliffside apartments, the Boulders, Mill Valley or in Northampton (sorry I don't know specific places!).
Even though Noho is farther by bus (30-40 minutes), there is a lot more to do (bars,restaurants,coffee shops). I like to think of it as separation between church and state if you will, the separation between your professional and personal life. There are fewer undergrads in Noho so that is definitely a plus!
It may be helpful to check for places near PVTA bus stops, most likely the on B43,30 & 31 routes
Best of luck!

Do any NY schools have a FB group yet?? I'm always trying to find some and guess what they could be called but this is definitely way more efficient...
