Buffalo State College will host an open house from 9 a.m.until noon, Oct. 29 in the Sports Complex. The event is open to the public and welcomes prospective students and their families to campus.

The day is designed to allow prospective students an opportunity to learn about the various dimensions of BSC. During morning sessions, students will hear from faculty, current students, athletic coaches, student life staff and admission and financial aid staff. They will also be offered a tour of the campus as well as exploring the different student organizations offered to students on campus.

“The event is being held to give BSC the opportunity to showcase itself to a high number of prospective students, high school as well as transfer” said Carolyn Murphy, from the office of admissions.

A large number of students have registered for the event already, Murphy said. “It looks to be another record-breaking event for attendance.” 

Open house is not just for incoming freshmen. This is also the time for transfer students to come and get a look at the college and see the different outlets that are offered to them.

Eric Yang, a prospective chemistry transfer student from Corning Community College, is anticipating the upcoming open house.

“I have looked into a few SUNY schools, and Buffalo State is definitely my first choice,” he said. “I love the idea of smaller classes and having faculty that are willing to take the time to help you out. I can’t wait for open house to learn even more about the school.”

BSC offers more than 130 undergraduate programs as well as graduate programs. BSC was established in 1871 and joined the State University of New York system in 1948.

Those interested in open house can contact the BSC's Office or Admissions at (716) 878-5713 or at the BSC Website www.buffalostate.edu.
