Don't go flying to Buffalo and forget important things though (you probably won't return anytime soon if you live outside the U.S), make sure you are well prepared before your big trip to your second home in the U.S!

To save you time, here's a link prepared by our office to help you as your prepare for your trip to the USA!

Move In Moving in to your new room or apartment at UB is an exciting time. Whether you’re coming from across the state or around the world, we’re here to help make the process as easy and fun as possible.

Did you like what you see at Governors? If you're not satisfied, look forward to our next video in our Residence Halls Series!

Up next: Ellicott Complex

This 38-building mega structure is the largest residence hall at UB with various amenities, more than what Governors have to offer.

Here's a sneak peak of what Ellicott Complex looks like!

We'll try to get the video posted sometime next week or earlier.

Curious about the dorms you'll be staying at? Well, say no more!
We'll be posting an exclusive video on each of the dorms (Governors, Ellicott, Clemens/Goodyear) so you guys can have a better picture of what it looks like.

First up is: Governors Complex

Here's a sneakpeak of what Governors Complex looks like!

There has been some technical issues with the video so we couldn't release it now but we'll try to fix it as soon as possible so you guys can see it!

I know this is super random, but I'm online for some time. Hit me up if you have any questions.
