<p>Ok so heres my dilemma,
I got accepted into Albany and Buffalo and i really want to got to school for Business with concentration in Marketing.</p>

<p>Albany is 2 hours away
Buffalo is 8 hours away</p>

<p>I visited both schools and Buffalo had the better campus and dorms but I would sleep in a box if I had to lol.</p>

<p>Buffalo is also the better school for business from what I was researching </p>

<p>So heres the thing, Is Buffalo THAT much better to be 8 hours away from home rather than 2 hours away.</p>

<p>I really like the fact of being close to home in case of any kind of family emergency or if i just wanted to come home for the weekend</p>

<p>I have heard of UB before but never Albany. I am from South Carolina so maybe its more popular up there, but I think UB has a better reputation, which could help in business</p>

<p>Buffalo is good, but it is not a lot better than Albany.</p>

<p>Go where you want to live, IMO.</p>

4

<p>Buffalo is much better, IMO, and is also on a path which will likely widen that gap.</p>

<p>If you’re not into nanoscience, then I see little reason to go to Albany over Buff. Also, I’ve heard horror stories at how heavily unsafe drinking is a part of Albany’s culture.</p>

5

<p>Buffalo is the better choice IMO.</p>

<p>I would go to Buffalo. Do you live two hours south of Albany? Are you sure Buffalo is 8 hours away?</p>

<p>Yeah, those numbers don’t really make sense to me at all.</p>

<p>“I would go to Buffalo. Do you live two hours south of Albany? Are you sure Buffalo is 8 hours away?”</p>

<p>Buffalo could be an 8 hour drive from NYC and Long Island for sure.</p>

9

<p>Eh, it could be with traffic but most of the time it’s not, depending on how far on LI you are. Anyway, Albany is about 2.5 hrs from Nassau County and Buffalo is about 6.5-7hrs.</p>

<p>Buffalo is 8 hours from LI. However, to get home to NY (LI or NYC) there are many flights daily from Buff/Niagara Int. Airport to LI (MacAuthur), JFK and LGA airports. </p>

<p>I prefer UB to Albany.</p>

<p>Probably Albany for business. When my sister went to college in 2004, she was accepted to Binghamton and Buffalo but weight listed at Albany. I think UA’s reputation is decreasing. It used to be one of the most, if not the most competitive SUNY school. I do know that Albany has a very reputable business program.</p>

<p>i don’t think it matters. i’d say the difference between the two is negligible.</p>
