A Central Location with Limitless Opportunities

In just a short train ride to one of these cities or a ferry ride to Long Island, you can explore internship and networking opportunities, enjoy cultural experiences, attend events, and so much more. It’s all easily accessible from UB’s beautiful seaside campus.
