Buffalo, New York, is a great city in the midst of renaissance. Long the home of such prestigious cultural landmarks such as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Louis Comfort Tiffany-designed Shea’s Performing Arts Center, and seven (seven!) Frank Lloyd Wright structures, Buffalo also boasts a booming music scene (Ani DiFranco! moe.! The Goo Goo Dolls!), and gorgeous outdoor experiences (the Riverfront! Great Lakes! Niagara Falls!). And let’s not forget the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo Sabres and the wings!

The “Queen City” is located on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River. It hosts a thriving higher education community.
