Information for new students

If you are planning to study at the University at Buffalo, feel free to ask for our help. One of the purposes of the Hellenic Graduate Student Association is to welcome and help the new incoming students for an easier adaptation to our school and the life of the city of Buffalo.

Coming here:

From Toronto: You can fly to Toronto directly from Greece or through any major city in Europe and then you can take the bus from Toronto to Buffalo which is about 1 ½ hour trip.

Directly to Buffalo: You can arrive directly to Buffalo through the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Feel free to contact us to come and pick you up.

Housing and Transportation:

You can stay in one of the two Campuses, or rent an apartment in the area close to the University.  The transportation of the city is not that great so if you are not thinking to buy a car you should stay in a walking distance from the University.

Weather:

Buffalo is famous for its cold weather. 5-6 months of the year have temperatures lower than freezing point and plenty of snow. Dress well!!!!
