Town and Country
A flagship institution in the SUNY system, UB is the state’s largest and most comprehensive public university and is spread across three campuses.
North Campus: A World of Education
UB's bustling North Campus, where most of the university's core academic programs are offered, is located in suburban Amherst. Opened in the early 1970s, the North Campus currently has more than 100 buildings and more on the way, including ongoing construction of new apartment-style student housing, as well as state-of-the-art academic buildings.

South Campus: Classic Lines, Cutting Edge
The picturesque South Campus, located three miles away from the North Campus in a residential section of Buffalo, was the university's home for much of the twentieth century. Here, ivy-covered buildings and a historic bell tower complement new research and teaching facilities. The schools of Architecture and Planning, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dental Medicine, Public Health and Health Professions, and Nursing are on the South Campus.

Downtown Campus: Revitalizing Growth
The recent addition of the UB Downtown Gateway (the former M. Wile building) adds to the growing presence of the university in downtown Buffalo. Current plans are to move UB's Regional Institute, a number of its pre-K-16 initiatives, and the Center on Rehabilitation Synergy, a program of its Graduate School of Education that provides training, education and research for professionals working with individuals with disabilities, into the building during the next 20 months. This now represents the sixth UB building downtown. The area is already home to the New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences, a hub of life sciences expertise and innovation in Buffalo Niagara, the Ross Eye Institute, and the Jacobs Executive Development Center. The campus will include a range of programs that directly serve and work with residents of our community in the areas of education, information, job training, and health care. | Learn More

World-Renowned Health-Care Facilities
For our students who are working to become health care practitioners, the many UB-affiliated hospitals, with their diversity of skills, are a priceless resource. Buffalo has many distinct medical facilities, and our partnerships with Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo and the renowned Roswell Park Cancer Institute, among many other institutions, allow UB to provide valuable clinical opportunities.
