International Student and Scholar Services

SUNY Buffalo State is recognized as SUNY's urban-engaged anchor institution. Bordering the north end of what has become the richly diverse west side of Buffalo, the campus is very accessible and located in the vibrant museum district, adjacent to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and Olmstead-designed Delaware Park. Within walking distance, you will find trendy cafés, restaurants, shops, and a beautiful waterfront development.
