<p>Congrats. UB is a great school. One that is understated and a true hidden gem.</p>
<p>From a current (graduating) Presidential Scholar - if you have the choice between UB for free and another (presumably higher-ranked) school for a significant amount of money - take the scholarship. UB is a good school, and to be honest, at least in my field (engineering), I’ve found the school doesn’t matter as much as what you do while you’re at the school. Graduating debt-free (with more money to my name than I had when I entered) is not something to overlook. Especially in these financial times.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot user_007! That’s exactly how I feel and it’s really nice to hear someone who’s been through the program confirm that.</p>
