SAS HS Atoms Visit University at Buffalo and Niagara University

Juniors & Seniors at SAS Visit Buffalo Colleges

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025: Syracuse Academy of Science juniors and seniors took an important step toward their college journeys with visits to the University at Buffalo and Niagara University. Students toured both campuses, attended admissions information sessions, and connected with current college students and staff to learn about campus life.

What students experienced

  • Guided campus tours highlighting academic buildings, residence halls, and student centers.

  • Admissions presentations covering application timelines, financial aid, and scholarship opportunities.

  • Q&A sessions with student ambassadors who shared first-hand perspectives on academics, clubs, and campus life.

  • Time to explore dining options, study spaces, and resources that support student success.

Highlights

  • Many students commented that seeing classrooms and residence halls helped them imagine life on campus.

  • Admissions staff emphasized the importance of building a strong application and exploring financial aid options early.

Next steps 

  • Encourage students to follow up with questions for their school counselor about applications, campus visits, and financial aid.

  • Look for upcoming college visits at our school and sign up early — spots fill quickly!

Thank you to Mr. Kovar and Mr. Karabulut for chaperoning and to the admissions teams at the University at Buffalo and Niagara University for hosting our students.
