[[File:Greiner-hall.jpg|alt=A ground-level view of Greiner Hall|thumb|A ground-level view of Greiner Hall]]
Greiner Hall is a second-year only residence hall located on UB's [[North Campus]]. Known for its modern design and eco-friendly features, it offers suite-style living with amenities that appeal to many students.

== Overview ==
Greiner Hall is the most recent residential building at UB, having finished construction in 2011. It has a capacity of 610 beds across 146 suites. Each suite consists of two bedrooms (each with two beds), a shared bathroom, and a walk-in closet space. As such, four people live in each suite of Greiner Hall. The target residents are second-year students (mainly sophomores), and includes an Honors Living Learning Community (LLC).

== History and Construction ==
Construction began on Greiner Hall in November 2009 with original designs by CannonDesign and construction overseen by LPCiminelli. Construction of the dorm cost a little over $52 million and the building encompasses a space of 198,208 gross sq. ft. <ref>https://library2.buffalo.edu/archives/campuses/detail.html?ID=67</ref>

Greiner Hall was officially dedicated and opened on August 19, 2011, being named for William R. Greiner (1934-2009), who joined the UB law faculty in 1967 and served as the university president from 1991-2004. <ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/president/biography/past_presidents.html</ref>

== Popularity and Housing Selection ==
Securing a spot in Greiner Hall is difficult due to the competitive nature. Many students aim to live at Greiner because of its modern amenities and favorable location. As some students targeting Greiner may get slightly different housing selection times, it's critical for one to form a group with at least one student who holds an earlier registration time in order to get a chance to live there.

Students in the [[UB Honors College|Honors College]] can apply to the Honors LLC, which has designated spaces in Greiner.

== Sustainability and Features ==
Greiner Hall holds the LEED Gold Certification, featuring sustainable materials and systems, such as a system that draws from a lake on campus for irrigation and the use of recycled Tide laundry detergent bottles in the laundry room counters.<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/sustainability/about-us/OurCampus/ecobuildings.host.html/content/shared/www/sustainability/Ecobuilings/Greiner.detail.html</ref> The building is heated and cooled with a centrally controlled hydronic HVAC system, providing climate control through water-based temperature regulation. This means that, contrary to some belief, Greiner Hall is not air conditioned. The building and suites are typically around 72.5°F (22.5°C), and while there are thermostats, they do not tend to change the temperature by a significant amount, if at all. The rooms have high ceilings and feature cool white lighting.

The first floor of Greiner Hall features the Au Bon Pain cafe in the A Wing, which offers convenient dining options for soup and breakfast sandwiches. The B Wing of the 1st floor has study pods with personal lighting and whiteboards, as well as Lounge 13 - which features the only landline telephone still in service at Greiner Hall (as all other landline phones have been taken out of service). Classrooms are located in the B Wing and the C Wing of Greiner Hall, and are air conditioned separately from the rest of the building's HVAC system to ensure proper cooling when it's hot outside.

== Student Experiences ==
Student opinions on Greiner Hall vary. Many find the modern nature of Greiner Hall to be convenient. On the other hand, some students report that the water-based cooling system can lead to rooms feeling warm, particularly during sudden temperature changes. Many students have also found the limited washers and dryers per floor lead to competition for usage, as there are only four washers and five dryers per floor of around 120 students. The front desk of Greiner Hall - where flat mail and some packages must be picked up - has hours that some find to be inconvenient. Further, some students have experienced issues with drain flies coming from their drains, leading to dead, fuzzy flies around their room.

=== Receiving Mail and Packages ===
Your address can be found by referencing this page: https://www.buffalo.edu/campusliving/for-current-students/amenities/mail-and-package.html

As an example, if you live in Room 1078 of the Spaulding Quadrangle of the Ellicott Complex on North Campus with Bedspace A, you would format your address as the following:

Firstname Lastname

1078A Spaulding Quadrangle,

Buffalo, New York 14261-0054

Once an item or package is delivered to this address, assuming you formatted it correctly, it will be given to the UB package handling center. This means that your package may be marked as delivered before you're ready to receive it. It may take UB some time to process your package. Once done, you will receive an email to your UB email address with instructions on how to pick up your package. There may be package lockers you need to type in a code for, or you may need to receive your item at a front desk with your UB ID card. If you do not pick up your package in time (within 14 days of notice), the package will be returned to sender.

== Part II: UB Dining ==
=== Dining Plans ===
First-year students living on campus must choose between Flex 14 and Flex 19 for a mandatory dining plan. There is no way to opt out of a meal plan in this case - it is required, even with food allergies or other dietary restrictions. For more information, refer to the article for [https://ubwiki.tnology.dev/UB_Dining_Plans Dining Plans].

=== Dining Locations ===
==== Dining Halls: ====

* '''[[North Campus#Ellicott Complex|Ellicott Complex]]''': Crossroads Culinary Center (C3)
* '''[[North Campus#Governors Complex|Governors Complex]]''': Governors Dining Center
* '''[[South Campus]]''': Main Street Market Dining Center

The Dining Menu for the dining hall can be viewed here: https://ubdining.com/locations/menu

==== The Commons: ====
[[North Campus#UB Commons|The Commons]] is located on North Campus, across from the Student Union. '''The Commons does not accept dining plans, despite being on campus. Meal Swipes and Dining Points will not be accepted there.''' Locations at The Commons include Starbucks, Subway, and La Rosa.

== Part III: Finding Your Way Around Campus ==
As a new student, you may feel confused about where you need to go. However, UB has resources to help with finding your way to different areas across campus.

=== About Each Campus ===
The University at Buffalo has three campuses: [[North Campus]], [[South Campus]], and [[Downtown Campus]].

* The '''North Campus''' is located in Amherst, NY.
** This is generally considered the "main campus" of UB - it's the most well-known and where most students are.
** The following residential halls are here:
*** Governors Complex (First Year Students Only)
*** Ellicott Complex
*** [[Greiner Hall]] (Second Year Students Only)
** The following apartments are here:
*** [[Flint Village]]
*** South Lake Village
*** Creekside Village
*** Hadley Village
*** Flickinger Court
* The '''South Campus''' is located in [[Buffalo|Buffalo, NY]].
** This was the original (first) campus of UB.
** The following residential halls are here:
*** Clement Hall
*** Goodyear Hall
* The '''Downtown Campus''' is located in Buffalo, NY - specifically in Downtown Buffalo.

=== Where Your Classes Are ===
The location of your classes depends on what school and department your class is in. Therefore, your major will play a significant role in where your classes will be.

If your major is in any of the following schools, your major-specific classes might be on ''South Campus'':

* [[School of Architecture and Planning]]
* School of Dental Medicine
* School of Nursing
* [[School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences]]
* [[School of Public Health and Health Professions]]

If your major is in any of the following schools, your major-specific classes might be on ''Downtown Campus'':

* [[Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences]]

If you are not in any of the previously mentioned schools, your major-specific classes might be on ''North Campus''. However, regardless of your school, it is likely that you will have classes on North Campus, especially if you are an undergraduate.

=== How to Find Your Class Location ===
First, you'll need to find what building your class is in, which should be listed on your schedule as a building and room number. Once you've found the building, you can use the following link to see which campus the building is on: https://www.buffalo.edu/administrative-services/managing-facilities/planning-designing-and-construction/building-profiles.html

For example, if your class is in Davis Hall, you can go to the above link and look in each tab for Davis Hall. Using your browser's search functionality may be helpful for this - this is typically with Ctrl + F on Windows or Linux and Command + F on macOS.

=== Navigating Around Campus ===
Many students find it helpful to use the campus map websites, which are as follows:

'''North Campus''': https://www.buffalo.edu/home/visiting-ub/map.html#north

'''South Campus''': https://www.buffalo.edu/home/visiting-ub/map.html#south

'''Downtown Campus''': https://www.buffalo.edu/home/visiting-ub/map.html#dt

You can open one of these maps in a browser app on a cellular phone (with GPS and cellular data) if you have one - in this case, if you enable location permissions for the website, you may be able to see your current location as you walk. This can be incredibly useful when you are learning where buildings are on campus and how to get to them.

== Part IV: Transportation ==
To be written. To the community: Please feel free to contribute!

Starting Notes:

The University at Buffalo has two types of transportation covered by the mandatory Transportation Fee - the Stampede, which are a set of buses to get around and between campuses, and the Shuttle, which is a way to get around one campus.
[[File:UB Stampede in Winter 2024-2025.png|alt=A picture of a UB Stampede Bus near a parking lot with cars that are snowed on, in which the photographer is standing on a sidewalk but not visible|thumb|UB Stampede Bus in the winter]]
The University at Buffalo offers campus shuttles, buses, and various transit options for students.

=== UB Stampede (Inter-Campus Buses) ===
The UB Stampede is a fleet of blue-and-white buses that provide transit between various locations of North and South Campus, as well as between North Campus, South Campus, and Downtown Campus. Students can ride the buses as much as needed or preferred, as it is covered by the Transportation Fee - therefore, students do not have to pay additional fare when using the Stampede buses (not to be confused with NFTA buses, which go across Niagara County and Erie County - not just UB - and do require fare to be paid). The Stampede buses run throughout the day during the fall and spring semesters. During peak class hours on weekdays, Stampede buses typically depart frequently to allow students to get between campuses or around campus without waiting for too long.

== Part V: Financial Aid ==
There is more content to be written. If you are a new student and you need help with Financial Aid, some info may be covered at Freshman Orientation. To the community: Please feel free to contribute!

Starting notes for anyone who wishes to contribute:

=== Federal Financial Aid ===
The '''Federal Pell Grant''' provides funds to high-need undergraduate students pursuing their first bachelor's degree. Eligibility is determined by the FAFSA and is based on the student's Student Aid Index (SAI) and enrollment status. For the 2023-2024 year, for example, the maximum Pell Grant was about $7,395 for full-time students with the greatest financial need.<ref name=":0">https://www.suny.edu/media/suny/content-assets/documents/financial-aid/suny-financial-aid.pdf</ref> Students may receive Pell for up to the equivalent of 12 full-time semesters (six years) before reaching the lifetime limit.<ref>https://financialaid.buffalo.edu/aid/grants/undergraduate/pell/</ref>

The '''Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity (SEOG) Grant''' provides additional grant money to students with exceptional financial need. Federal SEOG awards are limited and are given to the neediest students, and can be up to $4,000<ref name=":0" />, but students usually receive up to a few hundred dollars due to limited funding.

Additionally, students may participate in a '''Federal Work-Study''', which provides part-time campus jobs for students with financial need. While not a grant, it is a form of aid where earnings from work can help pay for personal and educational expenses. The amount a student can earn through work study depends on their financial need and the availability of jobs.<ref name=":0" /> UB offers work study positions in various departments, libraries, and offices. Students earn at least minimum wage and are paid directly for hours worked, up to the total Federal Work Study award amount.

Federal Loans are also an option if needed, but are not free money - loans must be paid back in full and with interest.

To receive federal financial aid, you will need to fill out the FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov

=== State Financial Aid ===
State financial aid includes NYS TAP (Tuition Assistance Program), SUNY Tuition Credit, NYS STEM Incentive Program, and the Excelsior Scholarship.

The '''Tuition Assistance Program''', also known as NYS TAP, is a grant for New York State residents attending college in-state. TAP awards at UB can be up to $5,665 per year (based on the 2023-2024 year) and is based on the family's New York State net taxable income and cost of tuition. TAP is tuition based, meaning it can only be applied toward tuition charges (not room and board/housing, fees, textbooks, etc). At UB, if tuition increases or a student's TAP award doesn't cover full tuition, the '''SUNY Tuition Credit''' may be applied.<ref name=":0" />

The '''Excelsior Scholarship''' is a last source of funding to cover tuition for families with incomes up to $125,000. At UB, Excelsior covers any remaining tuition cost after Pell, TAP, and other grants. For example, if a student's tuition is $7,000 and they receive $5,000 from TAP and Pell, Excelsior would cover the remaining $2,000. To qualify, students must be NYS residents, attend full-time, complete at least 30 credits every year, and commit to live and work in New York for the number of years they received the scholarship for after graduation. The award is renewable for up to 4 years (for a bachelor's degree) as long as the student meets the ongoing requirements. As it is a last-dollar scholarship, students who already have full tuition covered by other sources of funding such as Pell and TAP may not receive additional funds from the Excelsior Scholarship.<ref>https://www.hesc.ny.gov/find-aid/nys-grants-scholarships/excelsior-scholarship-program</ref>

The '''STEM Incentive Program''' provides a full tuition award to the top 10% of each NY high school, provided they enroll in an approved STEM degree at a SUNY/CUNY school (such as UB) and agree to work in a STEM job in New York State for at least 5 years after graduation. Students must be residents of NYS, maintain full-time enrollment in a STEM major, and meet a minimum GPA requirement of at least 2.5 per semester.<ref>https://financialaid.buffalo.edu/aid/grants/undergraduate/stem/</ref>

To receive state financial aid, you will need to fill out the HESC application at [https://www.hesc.ny.gov/applying-aid/prepare-what-you-need https://hesc.ny.gov]

=== Other Financial Aid ===
ACCES-VR is a program for those with disabilities who can receive financial assistance and assistance with seeking and maintaining employment after college.

[[UB Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)|Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)]] is a program to support students who are limited both academically and financially.

=== Scholarships ===
UB offers merit-based scholarships to students. High-achieving applicants may be considered for Undergraduate Merit Scholarships if they apply to UB by the scholarship deadline. These scholarships, such as the Presidential Scholarship and Provost Scholarship, are typically awarded based on high school GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and other achievements.<ref>https://admissions.buffalo.edu/costs/scholarships.php</ref> The Presidential Scholarship requires its own application. UB also has an online scholarship portal (UB AcademicWorks) where current students can apply for dozens to many donor-funded and departmental scholarships, which may range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars and often require essays.

=== Loans ===
Loans may be an option in case money is still owed after all financial aid and scholarships have been exhausted, and the student is unable to pay what is owed. Loans are not free money and must be paid back - it is easy for a student to take out a loan, but the debt may catch up to the student if they take out too much. The federal government offers Federal Direct Loans for those who are eligible, and are highly recommended before any consideration of private loans, as federal loans can be manageable. For those who still need loans after all Federal Direct Loans, Federal Parent PLUS loans may be available if a student's legal parent or guardian is willing to sign up for it with the student and is also eligible.

Private loans should be considered an absolute last resort, as they have been known to ruin students' lives with tremendous amounts of debt - especially predatory loans such as Sallie Mae (aka Navient) and Wells Fargo. '''''Never take out Sallie Mae loans or refinance federal loans with them, no matter how much you feel the need to do so. It will ruin your life'''''.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/18o2kvz/sallie_mae_has_ruined_me/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/191zapx/sallie_mae_ruins_lives/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1ixx3hj/do_not_apply_for_private_student_loans_do_not/</ref><ref>https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-bans-navient-from-federal-student-loan-servicing-and-orders-the-company-to-pay-120-million-for-wide-ranging-student-lending-failures/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1ig1blk/sallie_mae_ruining_my_life_advice_pls/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1d8u36m/my_student_loan_hell_story_ft_saliemae/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1jss5m7/being_sued_by_sallie_mae/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1jaehmt/salliemae_loans_sent_to_collections/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1bnjqbf/sallie_mae_cancer/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1jl92oh/sallie_mae_help/</ref>

== Part VI: Printing ==
There is more content to be written. UB uses Wepa Print for printing services and gives $35 each semester in print credit, covered by the mandatory Technology Fee. Please feel free to contribute!

The University at Buffalo provides a cloud-based printing service for students called UB Print Anywhere, utilizing Wepa (Wireless Everywhere Print Anywhere). This system allows students to print documents from their own devices or campus computers to any of the numerous print kiosks located across UB's campuses. Each student receives a print quota covered by the Technology Fee each semester, which covers a reasonable amount of printing. The printing infrastructure is intended to be convenient and accessible, as students can send print jobs from at home or on the go, then release them at a kiosk by swiping their UB card.

=== Print Quota and Covered Pages ===
Every enrolled UB student is allocated a print quota for printing each semester, which is paid for by the Technology Fee. The policy is the equivalent to 500 black-and-white pages (250 black-and-white sheets) if printed double-sided, or 200 black-and-white pages (100 black-and-white sheets) if printed double-sided for students enrolled in a summer course during the summer term.<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/services/print-anywhere/quota.html</ref> These quotas are intended to cover students' academic printing needs.
[[File:UB Print Anywhere Kiosk.png|alt=A blue and white print kiosk with the words "Print Here" on the front and the words "Print Station" on the side. The kiosk has a touchscreen.|thumb|A Wepa "Print Anywhere" kiosk at UB. Students can send print jobs online and release them at any kiosk by swiping their UB Card, or can use the mobile app to print documents at the kiosk.]]

=== Printing Locations and Kiosks ===
There are 56 Wepa print station kiosks located between North Campus and South Campus. These include locations in libraries, computing centers, residence halls, and some academic buildings. For example, kiosks can be found in Lockwood Library and Silverman Library, the Student Union, residence hall lobbies, and hallways of large lecture buildings. Even some dorm complexes have a kiosk located within them for easy access. UB provides an online map of all Print Anywhere kiosk locations so that students can find the nearest one.<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/services/print-anywhere/locations.html</ref>

The print stations are branded with the blue-and-white UB bulls logo and have touchscreens where students log in, swipe their card, or otherwise interact with the printer to retrieve documents. They are self-service, such that students can see queued documents, select which to print, and adjust options such as number of copies via the touchscreen once logged in, if using the touchscreen instead of the mobile app. The kiosks support both black-and-white and color printing, and accept file formats such as PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, and images via Wepa Cloud.

=== Printing Jobs ===
Students have multiple ways to send documents to the UB Print Anywhere system. For example, they can upload files directly to the Wepa cloud print queue via the Wepa Print mobile app. The mobile app allows selecting options like double-sided vs single-sided, color vs black and white, and how many copies to print for each file. Students may also use the Wepa Print computer drivers if they install it on their personal computers, which lets them print from any application on the computer and choose a Wepa printer.<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/services/print-anywhere.html#:~:text=Download%20drivers</ref> The public computing sites and library computers at UB are configured to use the Wepa system. Furthermore, the kiosks themselves allow direct printing from USB storage such as a flash drive, using the kiosk interface to select files to print.

=== Costs and Paying for Printing ===
The cost structure for printing is $0.08 per page for single-sided black and white, $0.065 per page ($0.13 per sheet) for double-sided black and white, and $0.35 per side (regardless of whether single-sided or double-sided) for color printing. If students print in color, the quota will be used up faster (since color pages cost more). Once the quota is exhausted, the system will charge the student's Campus Cash account, if any is available - otherwise, the print will fail. As Campus Cash can only be added in denominations of $25<ref>https://myubcard.com/docs/fall-dining-contract</ref>, students should ensure they don't use too much of their quota, or they should have their own printer if potentially printing more than what the quota provides, as many students find it frustrating to be required to spend $25 for more printing when they only need a dollar or two.

== Part VII: Clubs, Campus Events, and Student Life ==
Most [[List of Clubs|organizations]] on campus are run under and funded through the [[Student Association (SA)]] and [[Graduate Student Association (GSA)]]. They provide yearly funding to recognized clubs and have funds for other clubs or events on campus that people might want to run. When moving in at the beginning of the year, look out for tables in the Student Union, as many organizations will have tables laid out displaying their club/organization. These range anywhere from academic clubs, Greek life, religious/political groups, and funny hobby-based groups.

Bulletin boards around campus are typically cleaned every semester or so, so information on them should be up-to-date. Always keep an eye out for posters as clubs and major events will be posted daily. Emails are also sent to students from the SA and GSA regularly with newsletters and lists of upcoming events. These organizations often offer students - both undergrads and graduate students - discounted tickets to events in town/the city such as the Zoo, Sabres games, and musical theater performances. Note that SA and GSA are run partially independently so discounted tickets are not always offered to both SA and GSA.

Walking around campus will open you up to events on campus as well. Very often, you can just run across events being run on campus by walking around the Student Union or adjacent areas. Around the start of the year, a poster sale is often held outside the SU where you can buy reasonably-priced posters for your dorm or a campus office. There have also often been petting zoos and animals brought onto campus, so you can get to pet animals such as llamas, goats, tortoises, etc.

=== UBLinked ===
UBLinked is a platform that allows students to find events hosted by clubs, Campus Living, RHA (Residence Hall Association), and more. It is also used by club officers to create events and reserve rooms.

=== First Year Summer Orientation ===
UB's First Year Summer Orientation is a two-day program held on campus in mid-July for students starting in the Fall semester. Multiple session dates are offered (such as several 2-day sessions throughout July) and students register in advance for the session that fits their schedule. Each session usually runs from the morning of Day 1 through the afternoon of Day 2. Students are encouraged to stay overnight in an on-campus residence hall during Orientation - this is included at no extra charge as it's part of the program.<ref name=":1">https://www.buffalo.edu/studentlife/new-to-ub/first-year-and-transfer-students/orientation/first-year-summer-orientation.html</ref> However, the dorm buildings may be extremely hot due to their lack of air conditioning, meaning students should prepare for a potentially hot night and bring a box fan if staying. UB assigns Orientation attendees (often the Governors Complex on North Campus) with a roommate for the one-night stay. Living on campus for the night allows new students to get a feel for residential life and continue participating in evening activities.

During the two-day orientation, students follow a structured schedule. On Day One, check-in typically occurs in the morning (such as 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at the Governors Complex). Students receive a welcome and join groups led by Orientation Leaders (OLs), who are current students trained to guide them. Throughout the day, sessions cover academic success strategies, such as faculty panels or advisor presentations on expectations in the UB classroom. There are also campus tours - OLs may take students around academic buildings, libraries, and student service offices so they can start familiarizing themselves with North Campus.

In the afternoon and evening of Day One, additional topics are covered, such as financial literacy (how to understand your bill, due dates, etc), tips for living on campus (for those living in the dorms) or commuting, and discussions about student life scenarios (such as social and personal challenges new students may face). Meals are provided during orientation - lunch at One World Cafe located inside Capen Hall, and dinner at the Crossroads Culinary Center (C3) dining hall. Day Two of Orientation includes additional workshops and informational sessions in the morning. By the early afternoon, orientation concludes, and students can check out various aspects of campus.

=== Online Orientation ===
If students cannot attend the July sessions, they may be able to complete an Online Orientation module in August, ensuring they still receive necessary information.<ref name=":1" />

=== Welcome Weekend ===
UB Welcome Weekend is a multi-day program right before classes begin in the fall semester focused on welcoming all new students (including both first-year and transfer students) to campus life. It extends through the weekend with a series of events, workshops, and social activities. Participation is mandatory for freshmen, and UB explicitly states that new students are required to attend.<ref name=":1" /> This is when the majority of new students move into the residence halls and serves as a continuation and reinforcement of orientation.

For students living on campus, Welcome Weekend begins with Move-In Day. UB typically assigns move-in times over 1-2 days (for example, first-year move in might be Thursday and Friday). Once students have moved into dorms, the structured Welcome Weekend activities begin.

Informational Seminars and Workshops take place during Welcome Weekend to cover practical topics. Many students use the weekend to find their classrooms before the first day of their classes, and Orientation Leaders or Residential Advisors may lead tours to show where major academic buildings are, so students can locate the rooms on their class schedule. Students living on campus will have meetings with their Residential Advisors and floormates to cover residence hall rules, safety, and to get to know each other.

Additionally, UB makes sure there are fun activities each day and evening of Welcome Weekend. There is often Campus Fest, which is a fair with student-run clubs and organizations and campus departments that allows students to learn about clubs that may match their interests or hobbies.

== Part X: Changing Your Major ==
To be written. Please feel free to contribute!

== Part XI: Finding a Lost Item ==
If you have lost an item on campus, there are several resources that you can go to in order to potentially receive your item back. This is assuming someone turned in your lost item to one of these resources.

=== Important: Providing a Description ===
It is extremely important that you provide a detailed description of your lost item. In addition to finding any pictures of your item, if available, you should include factors such as:

* Size
* Color
* Shape
* Manufacturer / Brand
* Personal Marks / Unique Factors

You should also include information on possible locations for where your item was lost and approximate or possible day(s) and time(s) during which you could have lost your item.

The following resources can be used for finding lost items, each with their own Lost and Found:

* '''Student Union Lost and Found''': Go to the Student Union front desk on the first floor to ask about your item.
* '''Bissell Hall Lost and Found''': Bissell Hall is the UB Police Department. You can go in-person or dial (716)-645-2227 and press 1 to be transferred to their Lost and Found department.
* '''Silverman Library Lost and Found''': You can go to the front desk on the 3rd floor of Capen Hall to ask if they have your item.
* '''UB Parking and Transportation''': You can call (716)-645-3943 to reach UB Parking and Transportation, such as if you may have lost your item on a bus or shuttle.

You may also utilize alternative resources, such as Reddit's [https://ubwiki.tnology.dev/Social_Media r/UBreddit] subreddit, which is dedicated to the University at Buffalo.

Graduate Student Association (GSA)

2025-07-09T22:09:11Z

Goose:

The '''Graduate Student Association (GSA)''' is the governing body representing many graduate students at the University at Buffalo.

The GSA is one of seven student governments at UB, alongside the [[Student Association (SA)|Undergraduate Student Association]] (SA), [[Medical Student Polity]] (MSP), [[American Student Dental Association]] (ASDA), [[School of Pharmacy Student Association]] (SPSA), [[Student Bar Association]] (SBA), and [[Graduate Management Association]] (GMA).<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/news/key-issues/student-clubs-and-organizations.html</ref> It serves approximately 10,000+ graduate and professional students across UB's [[School of Architecture and Planning]], [[College of Arts and Sciences]], [[Graduate School of Education]], [[School of Engineering and Applied Sciences]], [[Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences]] (excluding MD students), [[School of Public Health and Health Professions]], [[Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center]], [[School of Nursing]], [[School of Dental Medicine]] (excluding DDS students), [[School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences]] (excluding PharmD students), and [[School of Social Work]].<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/clubs/departmental/</ref>

Like the undergraduate Student Association, the Graduate Student Association is a student-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization led by elected graduate student officers, and it manages the mandatory graduate student activity fee to fund graduate student clubs and conferences.<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/news/key-issues/student-clubs-and-organizations.html</ref> GSA advocates for graduate student interests, provides academic and professional development support, and coordinates social events for the graduate community at UB.

== Organization and Leadership ==
UB's Graduate Student Association has an Executive Board (which typically includes a President, Vice President, and Treasurer) who are elected by graduate students, who oversee the programs and budget. GSA has a Board of Directors built around departmental representation, such that each academic department or graduate degree program at UB can form a Departmental Graduate Student Association (often referred to as a GSA club) which elects or appoints a representative to the general GSA Board of Directors.<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/governance/</ref> The GSA Board of Directors, comprising representatives from all graduate departments, meets regularly to vote on funding decisions, policy changes, and resolutions on issues affecting graduate students, such as affordable housing.<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/wp-content/uploads/sites/137/2017/05/1617-04-GSA-FinalResolution.pdf</ref>

== Funding and Programs ==
The Graduate Student Association's activities are funded by the mandatory Graduate Student Activity Fee, for which each graduate student pays per semester. These fees are collected and allocated to GSA under university and SUNY guidelines, granting the GSA an annual budget to support graduate student life. Approximately 14% of this fee goes to club budgets, 15% to conference funding, 9% to savings, 12% to operational expenses, 19% to office staff, 5% to E-Board Stipends, 5% to programming, and the rest to other expenses.<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/f-a-q/</ref>

Graduate Student Association (GSA)

2025-07-09T18:54:05Z

Goose:

The '''Graduate Student Association (GSA)''' is the governing body representing many graduate students at the University at Buffalo.

The GSA is one of seven student governments at UB, alongside the [[Student Association (SA)|Undergraduate Student Association]] (SA), [[Medical Student Polity]] (MSP), [[American Student Dental Association]] (ASDA), [[School of Pharmacy Student Association]] (SPSA), [[Student Bar Association]] (SBA), and [[Graduate Management Association]] (GMA).<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/news/key-issues/student-clubs-and-organizations.html</ref> It serves approximately 10,000+ graduate and professional students across UB's [[School of Architecture and Planning]], [[College of Arts and Sciences]], [[Graduate School of Education]], [[School of Engineering and Applied Sciences]], [[Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences]] (excluding MD students), [[School of Public Health and Health Professions]], [[Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center]], [[School of Nursing]], [[School of Dental Medicine]] (excluding DDS students), [[School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences]] (excluding PharmD students), and [[School of Social Work]].<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/clubs/departmental/</ref>

Like the undergraduate Student Association, the Graduate Student Association is a student-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization led by elected graduate student officers, and it manages the mandatory graduate student activity fee to fund graduate student clubs and conferences.<ref>https://www.buffalo.edu/news/key-issues/student-clubs-and-organizations.html</ref> GSA advocates for graduate student interests, provides academic and professional development support, and coordinates social events for the graduate community at UB.

== Organization and Leadership ==
UB's Graduate Student Association has an Executive Board (which typically includes a President, Vice President, and Treasurer) who are elected by graduate students, who oversee the programs and budget. GSA has a Board of Directors built around departmental representation, such that each academic department or graduate degree program at UB can form a Departmental Graduate Student Association (often referred to as a GSA club) which elects or appoints a representative to the general GSA Board of Directors.<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/governance/</ref> The GSA Board of Directors, comprising representatives from all graduate departments, meets regularly to vote on funding decisions, policy changes, and resolutions on issues affecting graduate students, such as affordable housing.<ref>https://ubwp.buffalo.edu/gsa/wp-content/uploads/sites/137/2017/05/1617-04-GSA-FinalResolution.pdf</ref>

Spaulding Fire

2025-07-09T18:02:22Z

Goose: Linking

The '''Spaulding Fire''' refers to a 2013 dormitory fire in Spaulding Quad Building 1 of the [[North Campus#Residence Halls|Ellicott Complex]] at the University at Buffalo. On the evening of May 2nd, 2013, a fire broke out after a student accidentally dropped a lit butane torch while using it to smoke marijuana. The incident led to an emergency evacuation of the dormitory and subsequent criminal charges against the student responsible.

== Incident and Response ==
At approximately 6:17 PM Eastern Time on May 2nd, 2013, fire alarms sounded in the Spaulding Quadrangle (part of UB's Ellicott Complex on [[North Campus]]) as a fire broke out in a student's room on the fourth floor. UB police and local volunteer fire companies (including Getzville, Ellicott Creek, and North Bailey Fire Departments) responded quickly and evacuated students while they contained the blaze within 20 minutes.<ref>https://www.btpm.org/local/2013-05-03/ub-student-charged-with-starting-dorm-fire</ref> The fire originated from a butane torch being used in the room - investigators determined the student, 19-year-old Alec Seidenberg, dropped the torch while attempting to light a marijuana cigar, igniting nearby materials. Both Seidenberg and his girlfriend sustained minor injuries and were treated at Erie County Medical Center before being released.<ref name=":0">https://www.ubspectrum.com/article/2013/05/spaulding-fire-allegedly-started-by-butane-torch</ref>

Campus officials credited the dorm's fire safety systems and prompt emergency response for preventing a larger disaster. Firefighters confined the flames to the one room, and fire doors plus alarms operated properly to stop the spread of smoke and heat. By 9:28 PM that night, authorities reset the alarms and declared most of the building safe for re-entry. However, 19 students from the most affected floor were temporarily relocated - UB's Campus Living office arranged hotel accommodations and alternative housing for those displaced for the remainder of the semester.<ref name=":0" />

== Aftermath ==
UB Police arrested Alec Seidenberg on charges including fourth-degree arson, reckless endangerment, and marijuana possession. He was issued an appearance ticket for Amherst Town Court, and UB initiated disciplinary proceedings consistent with its zero-tolerance policy for open flame and smoking devices in residence halls. The fire caused an estimated $250,000 in damages to the room and its contents (primarily from smoke, heat and water damage), though surrounding dorm rooms were unharmed.<ref name=":0" /> No other residents were injured.

Respondus LockDown Browser

2025-07-09T17:59:36Z

Goose: linkings

Respondus LockDown Browser is browser software for Windows and macOS that aims to reduce the risk of students cheating on an online exam. It became popular among some UB professors starting with the COVID-19 pandemic, but is still used to this day. Respondus Monitor - which is included with the installation of Lockdown Browser - locks down the system in the same manner in addition to the requirement of a webcam, which is used to monitor and record the student with an eye tracking feature.

== Controversy ==
Many have objected to the requirement of LockDown Browser due to its arbitrary and locked down nature. Some argue that it's spyware and are hesitant to install it on their computer. This, in turn, has caused the [[Department of Computer Science and Engineering]] to ban it.

Other departments, such as the [[Department of Physics|Physics Department]], have nearly run into legal issues with Respondus because students often forget they are on camera and being recorded during exams that last a few hours, leading to them doing activities on camera that must be reported. Additionally, students have been accused in the past of still managing to cheat with Respondus by secondary monitors and devices with Discord and other chat software installed.

Vietnam War Riots

2025-07-07T20:36:06Z

Goose: Linking

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the University at Buffalo became a hotspot of student activism amid the nationwide unrest over the Vietnam War. Anti-war sentiment on campus was strong, fueled by both the escalating conflict in Vietnam and local issues at UB. Earlier incidents set the stage for what students later refer to as the Vietnam Riots. In August 1968, for example, a group of nine activists (mostly with UB ties) known as the Buffalo Nine were arrested after staging a draft protest in a Buffalo church. The Buffalo Nine case and the trial of UB draft resister Bruce Beyer (who was convicted in 1969 for anti-war activities) galvanized many UB students.<ref>https://library2.buffalo.edu/archives/ubpeople/detail.html?ID=304</ref>

By early 1970, campus tensions were high. Students were increasingly frustrated not only with the war but also with UB's governance and opposition to Project Themis (a Defense Department funded research project at UB).<ref name=":0">https://www.buffalo.edu/ubreporter/archive/2010_03_10/flashback.html</ref> This volatile atmosphere set the stage for a series of protests, strikes, and clashes in Spring 1970 that became known as the Vietnam Riots at UB.

== Spring 1970 Protests and Clashes ==
The peak of unrest occurred in February and March 1970, during which events escalated rapidly over the course of a few weeks. On February 25th, 1970, an angry demonstration of about 500 students in [[South Campus#Squire Hall|Norton Union]] (the Student Union) led to 16 arrests. The day before, campus police and city police had been summoned to a UB basketball game due to a student protest alleging racism in the athletics department. In response, a group of 40 to 50 students occupied Acting President Peter Regan's office on February 26th, refusing to leave as they demanded him to explain the police presence. Some protesters threw rocks and ice at the office windows, prompting police intervention and gathering a crowd of hundreds.<ref name=":0" />

By late February 1970, the situation intensified. On February 26th, amid the turmoil, a firebomb was thrown into Lockwood Library (then located in [[South Campus#Abbott Hall|Abbott Hall]] on South Campus), destroying several hundred books. The next day, a State Supreme Court judge issued a temporary restraining order which banned demonstrators from continuing to disrupt university operations, an injunction which was renewed on March 5th. University Acting President Regan denounced the violet fringe of protestors as "vicious vandals" in a televised address on March 1st.<ref name=":0" />

Despite the injunction, protests continued. Students formed a strike committee of around 400 members, who attempted to shut down classes in early March 1970. Picket lines and class boycotts occurred, and on March 5th, student strikers physically blocked the entrance to Hayes Hall (the administration building). Tensions peaked on March 8th, 1970, when UB's administration took the step of requesting that the Buffalo Police move in and occupy the campus. That same day, nearly 2,000 students and faculty rallied in opposition to the police presence on campus.<ref name=":0" />

The confrontation further turned violent on March 12th, 1970. During a face-off between student demonstrators and law enforcement, a melee erupted that resulted in 58 people injured - including 35 police officers - in clashes on UB's South Campus. Skirmishes involved baton charges, thrown objects, and clouds of tear gas. Contemporary accounts describe it as one of the most chaotic days in UB's history, as police in riot gear cleared buildings and quarreled with crowds of students.<ref name=":0" /> This sequence of events - protests over Vietnam and campus issues, a police occupation of campus, and a violent confrontation - is why students refer to these events as the Vietnam Riots. It coincided with national unrest, and the turmoil occurred just weeks before the Kent State shootings in May 1970, after which UB also saw protests and heavy-handled police response, including tear gas use on May 5th, 1970.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/gdwddc/may_5_1970_50_years_ago_today_ub_students/</ref>

== Aftermath ==
Following the March 12th clash, efforts were made to de-escalate the situation. On March 15th, 1970, a group of 45 faculty members - later called the "Faculty 45" - conducted a sit-in at Hayes Hall, aiming to restore calm and protest police tactics. However, they were arrested for violating the court injunction against these interruptions. With spring break approaching, the campus unrest began to subside. By March 17th, the violence had waned and university officials asked the Buffalo Police to withdraw from campus, ending the occupation that had lasted about nine days. Classes resumed, although the rest of the semester was consumed with efforts to "restore unity" and address the grievances that had led to the upheaval.<ref name=":0" />

== Legacy ==
In historical retrospect, the UB Vietnam Riots of 1970 stand as one of the most turbulent chapters in the university's history. While not as widely remembered nationally as events at Kent State or Columbia, these protests were highly significant locally. University archives preserve extensive documentation of the period, including eyewitness accounts, administrative memos, and even artifacts (such as remnants of a firebomb and a 45-rpm protest song called "Hayes Hall Blues"). The term "Vietnam Riots" encompasses not a single riot but a series of confrontations linked to anti-war and campus issues. Some student recollections of the time were partly "lost to history," as UB lacked a formal public reckoning until decades later. It was only years afterward that retrospectives - such as a 2005 UB Today Article titled "A Stormy Spring" - chronicled the full timeline of February to March of 1970.<ref name=":0" />

CVS in The Commons

2025-06-30T18:36:56Z

Goose: Linking

[[File:Cvs-in-the-commons.jpg|alt=CVS in The Commons, January 1991 - January 2022|thumb|CVS in The Commons, January 1991 - January 2022]]
CVS in the Commons was a CVS Pharmacy store located at 520 Lee Entrance Commons from January 1991 until January 2022. It was one of the original tenants of the [[North Campus#UB Commons|UB Commons]] and allegedly the last remaining one.

== Overview ==
CVS was the only pharmacy/drugstore on [[North Campus]]. While it did not have a working pharmacy, it did act otherwise as a typical CVS store - school supplies, bandages, drinks, frozen foods, etc. The location also acted as an on-campus job opportunity for students and an alternative to traveling to the Boulevard Mall (now defunct) and Walmart via weekend shuttles. The location remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic and was a primary source of over-the-counter medicines and hygiene products for students on campus.

== Closure ==
In November 2021, it was suddenly reported by The Spectrum that the location would be abruptly shutting down in January 2022 as part of CVS's larger closure of 900 locations across the US. <ref name=":0">https://www.ubspectrum.com/article/2021/11/campus-cvs-slated-to-close-in-january</ref><ref>https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/local/2021/11/21/the-fight-to-save-ub-s-cvs</ref> Students were furious at the closure, saying it would be "detrimental" to campus life. Employees were only notified briefly ahead of the public at a "mandatory staffing meeting" of the impending closure <ref name=":0" />. The manager told employees that the store was "lucky to even make $100 in a day" during the pandemic, much to the disbelief of students who frequented the store.

== Aftermath ==
As of May 21, 2025, the former location still remains empty, but is now for lease. The Commons is a private entity so UB does not have any jurisdiction over the decision-making process of what may return to the location. The UB Student Bookstore has attempted to cover some of the gap left by the closure of CVS by selling some basic necessities. The Elli, a convenience store in the Ellicott Food Court, also provides similar products to CVS, providing students on North campus an alternative to CVS or leaving campus.

UB Dining Health Code Violations

2025-06-30T18:36:07Z

Goose: Linking

Campus Dining and Shops (CDS) at the University at Buffalo has faced scrutiny over food safety and cleanliness issues at several dining locations. Over the years, students have reported or rumored unsanitary conditions in certain eateries, and county health inspections have occasionally validated these concerns with official health code violations. Notable locations include Sizzles and Hubies (in the [[North Campus#Ellicott Complex|Ellicott Complex]] food court) and the Crossroads Culinary Center (C3) dining hall.

== Sizzles and Hubies Health Code Violations (Ellicott Food Court) ==
Sizzles (which now closes in the evening) and Hubies were popular late-night dining spots in the Ellicott Complex on North Campus. Sizzles offers grilled foods, while Hubies is known for pizza, wings, and subs. Both operate within the Ellicott Food Court, sharing kitchen facilities. These eateries have been the subject of student complaints about cleanliness. For example, one post on r/UBreddit titled "I'm done eating at Sizzles" showcases undercooked chicken in the student's sandwich.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/1infx0w/im_done_eating_at_sizzles/</ref> Another post, titled "Don't order grilled chicken sandwich at Sizzles," shows extremely (dangerously) undercooked chicken, which still appears mostly raw, inside of the sandwich.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/1g1b2fa/dont_order_grilled_chicken_sandwich_at_sizzles/</ref> Yet another post about Sizzles shows beef that appears dark red to purple, indicating it is not cooked.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/shy07i/thank_you_sizzles_perfectly_cooked/</ref> Hubies has also been mentioned in posts regarding undercooked chicken, such as a post showing that the chicken is "actually pink."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/qhas62/for_those_wondering_got_this_from_hubbies_today/</ref> In addition to the posts about undercooked meat, other posts have made their way onto the subreddit about poor dining experiences - such as a bread bag clip inside of a burger.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/1fk7m54/sizzles_burger_ingredient/</ref>

Official inspections have indeed found violations. In Fall 2023, an Erie County health inspection of the Ellicott Food Court sites uncovered 11 infractions, 4 of which were critical. At Sizzles, inspectors noted that various perishable foods (such as sliced cheeses, tomatoes, and peppers) were not being kept cold enough (above the required 45°F), a potentially hazardous condition. Sizzles was also cited for unlabeled food dressing bottles, indicating a labeling issue. At Hubies (the pizza and fryer station), the inspection found that the pizza prep cooler lacked a working thermometer and that some coolers' thermometers were inaccurate. Additionally, there were general food handling issues like missing sneeze guards over certain toppings and open garbage containers with no lids in the food court area.<ref name=":0">https://www.ubspectrum.com/article/2023/12/ub-campus-dining-health-department-violations-fall-2023</ref>

Campus Dining and Shops management claimed that violations were addressed immediately and that follow-up inspections showed all issues resolved. For instance, the malfunctioning cooler at Sizzles was taken out of service and staff were retrained on proper temperature checks. The open garbage bins were closed and a missing ceiling tile was fixed during inspection. UB's dining officials said that it's standard procedure to correct issues on-site and undergo reinspection to ensure compliance. After corrective action, no repeat violations were noted in the subsequent inspection for those units.<ref name=":0" />

== Crossroads Culinary Center (C3) Health Code Violations ==
Crossroads Culinary Center, known as C3, is UB's largest dining hall, located in the Ellicott Complex. It features multiple buffet stations and serves hundreds of students daily. C3 has been a focal point of student discussion regarding health code issues. For example, a post on r/UBreddit titled "C3? More like Cgivemesalmonella" showcases undercooked meat.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/slhm6e/c3_more_like_cgivemesalmonella/</ref> There were also rumors about a "literal BAT in the C3 fountain drink machine" - an alarming story that many took either as a factual past incident or an exaggeration of the poor sanitation.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/y0kvhm/just_witnessed_at_one_world/#:~:text=am%20i%20the%20only%20that%20remembers%20the%20literal%20bat</ref> A post by Reddit user r/lilcaliforniaroll, who claimed to be a worker at C3, claims that a manager "had to pull out a bat from the soda machine in front of the pizza station."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/fe57zz/bat_in_c3/</ref> While the post does link an Instagram video, it is no longer available - as such, this claim is unable to be verified.

From an official standpoint, health inspections have found issues at C3, though not an exorbitant number. In the same Fall 2023 inspection cycle, C3 was cited for four violations, although none of them were critical. The violations were mostly about facilities and precautions - inspectors observed that outdoor garbage dumpsters behind C3 had no lids (allowing pests), an external grease container's lid was left open, and some food items at self-serve stations (like toppings and fruit) were not properly protected by sneeze guards or tongs. For example, containers of things like flax seeds and granola didn't have covers, and the fruit station had no tongs for apples until staff provided them during inspection. There were zero critical violations at C3 during that inspection - meaning nothing immediately threatening illness - but the noted issues could "indirectly contribute" to problems if left uncorrected.<ref name=":0" /> All of these issues were rectified promptly, including the addition of covers, the supplying of tongs, and the closing of lids.

== New York Deli & Diner Food Violations ==
The NY Deli and Diner, a kosher-style deli in the Student Union (sometimes referred to by students as the "Jewish Deli"), has faced notable violations. After it reopened post-pandemic in 2023, it underwent a health inspection that found seven violations, over half of which were critical. The critical issues included a walk-in cooler holding food at 50°F (well above the safe cold temperature), hot holding wells not keeping food hot enough (around 125-127°F instead of above 140°F), and improper thawing methods (thawing chicken in still water). There were also a leaking hand-wash sink and general food protection shortcomings. The Spectrum reported that these violations were corrected and the deli passed re-inspection by November 2023.<ref name=":0" />

== Other Minor Instances ==
A Tim Hortons in the Student Union was cited in 2023 for something as trivial as an improperly stored utensil (a spoon left in a parfait cup), and the Governors Complex mini-cafeteria once had a fridge holding guacamole above 45°F. These individual cases usually result in immediate fixes and don't generate as much discussion.

UB Dining Health Code Violations

2025-06-13T19:07:33Z

Goose: Undo revision 340 by Multigauge (talk)

Campus Dining and Shops (CDS) at the University at Buffalo has faced scrutiny over food safety and cleanliness issues at several dining locations. Over the years, students have reported or rumored unsanitary conditions in certain eateries, and county health inspections have occasionally validated these concerns with official health code violations. Notable locations include Sizzles and Hubies (in the Ellicott Complex food court) and the Crossroads Culinary Center (C3) dining hall.

== Sizzles and Hubies Health Code Violations (Ellicott Food Court) ==
Sizzles (which now closes in the evening) and Hubies were popular late-night dining spots in the Ellicott Complex on North Campus. Sizzles offers grilled foods, while Hubies is known for pizza, wings, and subs. Both operate within the Ellicott Food Court, sharing kitchen facilities. These eateries have been the subject of student complaints about cleanliness. For example, one post on r/UBreddit titled "I'm done eating at Sizzles" showcases undercooked chicken in the student's sandwich.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/1infx0w/im_done_eating_at_sizzles/</ref> Another post, titled "Don't order grilled chicken sandwich at Sizzles," shows extremely (dangerously) undercooked chicken, which still appears mostly raw, inside of the sandwich.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/1g1b2fa/dont_order_grilled_chicken_sandwich_at_sizzles/</ref> Yet another post about Sizzles shows beef that appears dark red to purple, indicating it is not cooked.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/shy07i/thank_you_sizzles_perfectly_cooked/</ref> Hubies has also been mentioned in posts regarding undercooked chicken, such as a post showing that the chicken is "actually pink."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/qhas62/for_those_wondering_got_this_from_hubbies_today/</ref> In addition to the posts about undercooked meat, other posts have made their way onto the subreddit about poor dining experiences - such as a bread bag clip inside of a burger.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/1fk7m54/sizzles_burger_ingredient/</ref>

Official inspections have indeed found violations. In Fall 2023, an Erie County health inspection of the Ellicott Food Court sites uncovered 11 infractions, 4 of which were critical. At Sizzles, inspectors noted that various perishable foods (such as sliced cheeses, tomatoes, and peppers) were not being kept cold enough (above the required 45°F), a potentially hazardous condition. Sizzles was also cited for unlabeled food dressing bottles, indicating a labeling issue. At Hubies (the pizza and fryer station), the inspection found that the pizza prep cooler lacked a working thermometer and that some coolers' thermometers were inaccurate. Additionally, there were general food handling issues like missing sneeze guards over certain toppings and open garbage containers with no lids in the food court area.<ref name=":0">https://www.ubspectrum.com/article/2023/12/ub-campus-dining-health-department-violations-fall-2023</ref>

Campus Dining and Shops management claimed that violations were addressed immediately and that follow-up inspections showed all issues resolved. For instance, the malfunctioning cooler at Sizzles was taken out of service and staff were retrained on proper temperature checks. The open garbage bins were closed and a missing ceiling tile was fixed during inspection. UB's dining officials said that it's standard procedure to correct issues on-site and undergo reinspection to ensure compliance. After corrective action, no repeat violations were noted in the subsequent inspection for those units.<ref name=":0" />

== Crossroads Culinary Center (C3) Health Code Violations ==
Crossroads Culinary Center, known as C3, is UB's largest dining hall, located in the Ellicott Complex. It features multiple buffet stations and serves hundreds of students daily. C3 has been a focal point of student discussion regarding health code issues. For example, a post on r/UBreddit titled "C3? More like Cgivemesalmonella" showcases undercooked meat.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/slhm6e/c3_more_like_cgivemesalmonella/</ref> There were also rumors about a "literal BAT in the C3 fountain drink machine" - an alarming story that many took either as a factual past incident or an exaggeration of the poor sanitation.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/y0kvhm/just_witnessed_at_one_world/#:~:text=am%20i%20the%20only%20that%20remembers%20the%20literal%20bat</ref> A post by Reddit user r/lilcaliforniaroll, who claimed to be a worker at C3, claims that a manager "had to pull out a bat from the soda machine in front of the pizza station."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/UBreddit/comments/fe57zz/bat_in_c3/</ref> While the post does link an Instagram video, it is no longer available - as such, this claim is unable to be verified.

From an official standpoint, health inspections have found issues at C3, though not an exorbitant number. In the same Fall 2023 inspection cycle, C3 was cited for four violations, although none of them were critical. The violations were mostly about facilities and precautions - inspectors observed that outdoor garbage dumpsters behind C3 had no lids (allowing pests), an external grease container's lid was left open, and some food items at self-serve stations (like toppings and fruit) were not properly protected by sneeze guards or tongs. For example, containers of things like flax seeds and granola didn't have covers, and the fruit station had no tongs for apples until staff provided them during inspection. There were zero critical violations at C3 during that inspection - meaning nothing immediately threatening illness - but the noted issues could "indirectly contribute" to problems if left uncorrected.<ref name=":0" /> All of these issues were rectified promptly, including the addition of covers, the supplying of tongs, and the closing of lids.

== New York Deli & Diner Food Violations ==
The NY Deli and Diner, a kosher-style deli in the Student Union (sometimes referred to by students as the "Jewish Deli"), has faced notable violations. After it reopened post-pandemic in 2023, it underwent a health inspection that found seven violations, over half of which were critical. The critical issues included a walk-in cooler holding food at 50°F (well above the safe cold temperature), hot holding wells not keeping food hot enough (around 125-127°F instead of above 140°F), and improper thawing methods (thawing chicken in still water). There were also a leaking hand-wash sink and general food protection shortcomings. The Spectrum reported that these violations were corrected and the deli passed re-inspection by November 2023.<ref name=":0" />

== Other Minor Instances ==
A Tim Hortons in the Student Union was cited in 2023 for something as trivial as an improperly stored utensil (a spoon left in a parfait cup), and the Governors Complex mini-cafeteria once had a fridge holding guacamole above 45°F. These individual cases usually result in immediate fixes and don't generate as much discussion.
