Residence Halls at UB
South Campus
South Campus is where UB's rich heritage began. The ivy-covered city setting is ideal for students who like to be where the action is. On-campus dining and the University's health services are quick and easy to access. Within walking distance is a supermarket and pharmacy, a movie theater, restaurants, retail stores, coffeehouses and many other services. A 15-minute subway ride puts you in the heart of downtown Buffalo where concerts, professional sporting events, Broadway shows and big city shopping and dining are easily accessible. Many new students are assigned to the South Campus.
