Safe Buffalo Areas (for UB South Student)

[CW1095]

Wow, yeah you couldnt have driven down a worse street than Bailey. In Cheektowaga they just opened collegiate village, a gated community for college students with every amenity you could ask. It is on the city/cheektowaga border. Otherwise, anythign in Cheektowaga or South Amherst will be a quick ride to south campus

Elmwood ave and Allen st. are the hip college type neighborhoods, they are a short commute to UB south. Elmwood is a buffalo equivelent of Queen st. Allentown is a bohemien artsy neighborhood. Hertel Ave. is more straight laced with shops and resturants as well, Hertel ave is a 5 minute drive to South Campus

Not sure if I want to live there and be away from my family.
Look forward to hearing from you

I knew several Caniadian student teachers in schools I taught in who went to Canisius. If you called them and asked about carpoolers and found one to ride with, public transportation ( rail and bus) is right at Canisius and goes up Main St. to South Campus UB . From South Campus UB there is a bus ("The Stampede") which goes to North Campus.
