Why did you choose UB School of Law? I always knew I wanted to stay in Buffalo for college. I love the community, and nothing beats Buffalo food. During my college search, I discovered UB’s 3+3 program. Through this program, I was able to finish undergrad in just three years. Buffalo also has a tight-knit, welcoming legal community which was a major factor for me when researching law schools.
