A high school that was founded in the 1970s in Buffalo. Kids came from all around the city to attend. It remains a top school in the area.

I am an aluma of Nardin. Absolutely loved the school when I attended. I sent my daughter there,…read moreper her choice, many years later. I made a horrific mistake. Nardin, I believe, has changed. It's wonderful for an education and has rated number one for many years in the parochial high school element. They've lost their personality. It's all about maintaining status. My daughter chose this school for the wrong reasons. It's cool location. I prepaid her freshman year and was beset by calls from her guidance counselor saying that she is just not up to par. She is not good enough to stay. No offer of reimbursement for tuition paid...just remove her. Also, her purse was taken. Nardin not responsible. The agnst that this small school caused was long lasting. Her lost purse, sans cell fone and personal touch cafeteria card, was returned albeit 4 months later. Guidance counselor is long gone, I believe her sole purpose in life was to bother individuals. Her office, in the lower part of the building, was the smoking lounge when I attended. Cool school, be careful.

My daughter is a 2016 grad, I couldn't be prouder or happier with her education. There were a few…read moreteachers and faculty that you might complain about, but the small issues were shadowed by the community and dedication to preparing young girls into confident capable women. Because of her high scoring metrics several top schools recruited her with generous offers. We decided on NU because it had her major and no students loans were needed. We've made it through the first dream. Now the goal is to make NU realize they picked the right woman for the job. Any grad schools wanna get in early on a top tier student?

Back in 1992-1996 during my time at Gow, many events like school battles in Triva, school plays, musicals, dances and sporting events happened at The Gow School which Buffalo Seminary took part in. Males that knew how to talk to women or got by on their looks might hook up with one of these outstanding ladies at a school dance or at The Galleria Mall. One of the most memorable times with Buffalo Seminary was a battle of wits triva.  One lady was just getting all the answers for her school.  I don't remember the outcome now, but I believe Buffalo Seminary won the game, but not by a lot. I also believe I was hand picked to do one of these types of challenges,  but backed out of fear.  Looking back I regret doing this.  I think of the words Buddy Revell said to Jerry Mitchell.  "You didn't even try...How does that feel?"...yes the quote was edited,  but if you have seen the movie Three O' Clock High, then you already know the whole quote.  Back in the day, I never got the chance to date one of these ladies, but I didn't know how to talk to women until my second dance my 9th grade year.  Confidence is the key word here and sitting on the steps of a dance room and not making a move for 2 hours can be very depressing.   I did not miss an opportunity the second time around.   If I got rejected, I moved onto the next woman at the dance.  Education  at its finest. Most women were happy to be asked to dance.   Buffalo Seminary is still The Gow School's Sister School, but now The Gow School is a co-ed school. One day maybe Buffalo Seminary will follow suit.

They also have a room full of goods made by the students. Some food, other bookmarks, other types of things. Then there is a room full of baskets that you can win in a Chinese auction. The baskets were awesome. Parking for Sem is street, and no handicapped parking area. The facility is not easy if stairs are difficult for you, but it's manageable. This is a nice Holiday Bazaar and well worth a stop if in the area. I took off a star because of the lack of handicapped parking. 2026

I am an alumni of D'Youville College (class of 2016) and I absolutely loved the school. I'm a bit…read moresurprised at reading the negative reviews but everyone's experience will never be the same. Prior to my time at D'Youville, I obtained a B.S. at a local city-funded college (CUNY) in New York City so, my experience compared to that is why I think D'Youville was so great. I attended D'Youville for the dietetics dual-degree program. I will say that initially going there, I had a number of set backs. For one, the fact that I paid my deposit for housing but they never solidified a spot for me. At the last minute, I was forced to find housing off-campus because there were no more dorms or apartments left on campus. Additionally, I was granted work-study but there weren't many jobs left by the time the semester started. I ended up having to take whatever was left which included coming to campus at 7am for a half hour shift then going to class at 9. All-in-all this did not hinder my experience. D'Youville has some of the best programs for health professions - physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, etc. My program was a small department but the staff were amazing. Each faculty member had a wealth of experience to offer to my aspirations. They were tough but it was all for the best. The amenities at the school were amazing when compared with my previous college - 2 computer labs, free printing for students (this was eliminated during my last year), and a wealth of places to study quietly. Moreover, D'Youville's mission focuses on helping the community, which is something dear to my heart. I was given so many opportunities to help within the school and outside, while still gaining academic credit. The price of tuition is definitely expensive however, for everything I gained in the process, it was well-worth it. The school offers a lot of scholarship and jobs on campus, so some of the burden can be lifted from your pockets. Also, you must take into account that this is a private school, there are a lot of things you will see and receive here that may not be available at city and state colleges. I have been back to the school recently and they are moving away from their catholic traditions slowly but surely, and have expanded a lot more; nonetheless the programing, offerings, and staff still remain as great. I continue to share my experience with others in hope that they will attend and have the same great memories that I have. I hope that my children will also be open to attending such a great institution. Highly recommended!

I don't love anything about DYU and am glad I graduated as the transition started. They don't treat…read morestaff and faculty the way that they should, they spend unnecessary money on things.

All I said in my last 2 posts is I was disappointed in the university's speeches for the graduation that we attended a couple weeks ago. I feel politics has no place in a commencement speech. Parents are there to support their kids and watch them graduate. It is not up to the university to push its opinion on the attendees.

DANGEROUS CAMPUS!!!! NO POLICE PRESENCE at basketball game…read moreon 3/1/25!!!! Attended the basketball game with some friends. The place was packed!! Did not see any police maybe 1 officer? Saw what appeared to be security guards, but no police officers....not sure what's up with that? I thought Canisius University had a police department? Says online they have a police department at Canisius University. I saw some people that appeared to be security guards at the game, but there were only a few of them. There were a bunch of fights breaking out at the game and after...... and NO ONE HAD CONTROL of the situation! It was REALLY SCARY!!!! People were fighting, saw a door get ripped off a bathroom!!! NUTS.... I don't understand if people pay so much money to go to school here...where is the police department during a game when there are so many people and anything......LITERALLY ANYTHING could happen???!!! Heard from some friends that attend Canisius University that their entire police department has been leaving because of the Chief of Canisius's Police that got hired. Not sure if that is true or not, but I can tell you there was NO law-enforcement presence at the basketball game from a firsthand experience. I think I literally saw 1 Canisius University police officer. Pretty sad if it is true that Canisius would keep somebody like that leader of their Police Department in that position if that person is causing and driving all of the officers away from the university that are supposed to be protecting it? Makes no sense, right... Not sure who makes the decisions on brining in Police Chiefs, but I can tell you that I would not be paying to go to school there with that many problems if that is what's really going on because rumors are circulating all over the campus about it. Found all the details above out after talking to people at the game that go to the school. Anybody could've walked in there and there could've been a major problem. NO POLICE!!!!! I don't think I'm gonna be going back to anymore games there. The game was great, however I value my life!!!!
