The University at Buffalo offers a variety of housing options for students who prefer to live close to the heart of where they study, conduct research, and attend class. Flickinger Court, Flint Village, South Lake Village, and Creekside Village provide incomparable campus housing for graduate and professional students.
The "Apartments" section of the University Residence Halls and Apartments website provides all the information students need to make a choice among these terrific options, including details about room dimensions, furnishings, rates, how to apply, and answers to other frequently answered questions.

No matter what you want to eat, UB has it. There's food to satisfy every taste: from pizza to Chinese, plus deli favorites and fine dining. You can even use your UB Card declining balance option to purchase food at most campus restaurants and vending machines!
Dining Services operates four residence hall dining centers on campus that provide economical, homestyle breakfasts and dinners. For lunches and snacks, satisfy your hunger at one of the two food courts, three grill and pizza shops, two fine dining restaurants, an upscale deli and Kosher deli, or four satellite lunch centers. There are even coffee shops and "snack stops" in various locations around campus.
UB offers several meal plans for both on and off campus students. Dining Dollars and Campus Cash, UB's two declining balance options, are available to all students. You can use your Dining Dollars, a tax-exempt debit account, at any campus dining area and vending machine. Campus Cash, the taxable account, can be used for purchases at on-campus vendors like Starbucks, The Bookstore and Burger King, and even at some off-campus vendors around town.
There's plenty of food on campus, but you'll also be impressed with the wide range of dining choices in the Buffalo area. From the local favorites like beef-on-weck and red hots (hotdogs) to Indian, Thai, Italian, Cajun, Chinese and Japanese, plus plenty of mom-and-pop eateries, sub shops as well as upscale dining, there's definitely something for everyone.
