Three campuses, unlimited possibilities.
UB is a top 50 university in a top city in which to attend college, and with more than 1,300 acres across three unique campuses, there is always something new to explore. Regular shuttle service takes students between North Campus and South Campus, and the Downtown Campus is easily accessible by Metro Rail. Learn more about our campuses:
North Campus UB’s bustling North Campus, the site of most of the university’s core academic programs, covers more than 1,192 acres and includes 11 residence halls, five apartment complexes, the UB Stadium and more. Located in Amherst, N.Y., which is consistently ranked one of the safest cities in the nation, North Campus is an exciting place to be, any time of the year.
South Campus The picturesque South Campus, located 3 miles from North Campus in a residential section of Buffalo, was the university’s first home. Here, ivy-covered buildings and a historic bell tower complement new research and teaching facilities.
Downtown Campus A state-of-the-art center for teaching, research and clinical care in downtown Buffalo is how UB is helping to spark a revitalization of New York State’s second-largest city. Future home to the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biological Sciences, the downtown medical campus will align medicine, research and clinical care with local hospitals and research partners.
