Student Insights

There is such a great community dynamic—everyone is so helpful and friendly, and the people of Buffalo are very committed to fighting to improve their home. It is a beautiful place full of passion for culture.

Community-based organizations here are very strong and the key is passion. My favorite quote is “No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.” I’ve realized that if there is a cause to fight for, one can pursue their efforts and not give up—they will create change.
