Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 667749, member: 1646"] Buffalo reminds me a lot of Ohio State and a few other B1G schools in that its reputation is grad school / research based. People not in academia or the sciences generally think of a school's undergrad program because that's where their kids or neighbors' kids applied. Ohio State and Buffalo are not hard to get in to (although I'm sure someone is going to tell me how much that has changed). All my cousins went to Ohio State. Some were accomplished teenagers, others had more juvenile issues than points in their GPA. Those cousins failed out. My sister got her doctorate at Buffalo after an undergrad and masters at world renown undergrads. She had to take a few undergrad courses in her first year and then TA. She was underwhelmed by the students. Buffalo is a safety school, but it is like other B1G schools. Buffalo has no shot at the B1G for other reasons. I think all will admit that Buffalo would not get you tv sets. Not local tv sets, and certainly not tv sets where the population / money is. Buffalo is an interesting city. I've only been a few times. It looks and feels like a dead town. They have terrible brain drain. But don't talk bad about Buffalo from someone that grew up there. I've seen many that leave the area but intend to (and often do) go back. My sister said there was no way she was staying past graduation. Then she got a decent job and she figured she'd stay for a couple years. Now it's been like 10 years and she finally took the "interim" off. [/QUOTE]
