What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed very friendly and helpful. The students seemed happy, probably because they get to choose their own destiny.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that I would not be able to choose my own future.(see below)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

According to the Univeristy's newspaper The Spectrum, there is a proposal stating that after residency, that you would have to agree to practice in an New York urban underservered area for three years after residency. Otherwise pay out-of state tutition, even if you are a NYS resident. Plus there is looming tutition hikes.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was fine. Nothing exceptional. By attending the University at Buffalo I'd be freely throwing my autonomy to the state of NY.
