UB is a global community of students, faculty and staff with ties to various regions of the world. With nearly 5,000 international students from more than 100 different countries, UB offers a warm and welcoming environment.
UB has been designated as a 2022-23 First-Gen Forward institution by the Center for First-generation Student Success to acknowledge the university’s devotion to uplifting first-generation students in higher education.
"Going into college as first-generation is something that's hard for those not in the situation to understand. No matter how educationally prepared you feel for college, oftentimes it's the logistics that us first-generation students struggle with. For me, I had no idea how scholarships worked or what would make me a good graduate school applicant. With the help of advisors and close friends, I was able to figure out what college was like and how to excel at it. Don't get me wrong: I needed the support that I was lucky enough to receive. But a lot of us first-generation students run on motivation and the desire to excel, and that is ultimately what has put me in the position I am in today."
