11 Best Sonography Programs In Buffalo, NY (2022 Updated)

I considered D'Youville College for my Post 9/11 GI Bill graduate program. I ultimately picked another school which offered the degree I was interested in. By happenstance I spent my last semester of my studies at D'Youville. Wow, what a difference. While other schools pay lip service to Veterans, D'Youville is putting their money where their mouth is. At other schools, despite what they say, Vets are simply another number, a commodity they are anxious to attract for the easy money, but once enrolled, these Vets are quickly forgotten. A single staff member will be assigned Vets as a collateral duty, one of many hats they wear. D'Youville on the other hand has a staff of dedicated personnel whose sole job is to take care of Vets. Instead of being referred elsewhere, D'Youville gets resolution to any and all issues that their Vets encounter. They know how to successfully navigate the Veteran's Administration, as well as New York State benefits (e.g. Veterans Tuition Awards). Not only do they educate **ALLL** Vets (not simply limited the Gold Ribbon qualified Vets), but they also offer generous incentives for Vets' spouses and dependents. D'Youville offers more and more new degrees and programs every year. If you are not seriously looking at D'Youville for you education, you are wrong.Jerry Tidd

I been working in a community health program with the School of Nursing and Pharmarcy. My interaction wtih both students and professors has been excellent, and have surpass my expectations in wiliness to serve the community. About the D'Youville social life, this is a small college and their social life is during lunch time in Spot Coffee, which is located in the basement. In short, the DYC is good for those who want to focus in their studies and have theirs social life somewhere else because you will not find crazy frat parties in here.alice campbell

College offers a great PA program, but beware that contacting the admission office and tracking different components of your application is painstakingly uncoordinated. Personally had to remind and contact multiple admission counselors about my application and still had a hard time getting them to contact me back regarding genuine questions with ambiguity of the application.Sougandhika Bharadwaj

Loved my college experience at UB. Quality academics, quality student life. There is great diversity which will help you with life after college. Food is good, not great, but what do you expect when you are cooking for the masses. Wish people cared more about the athletics. They have made north campus and the apartments surrounding it nice. The alumni base from what I can tell is Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, NYC, Chicago and DC. I also love the city of Buffalo. Downtown offers a lot to do for a mid size city.Joe Segrue

This place is like a palace. Massive, I visit it there on a trip. It took me about 3 hours just to walk around the whole school. Also visit the inside as a visitor. Its a amazing university that offers many course. Lot of friendly people. Adviser will always help student even though their is a lot of student. Amazing Lab as well. Definitely a great place to go for a bright career.Dontlolmeplz

Spent few of best times of my life there doing my undergrad and masters (1991-1995). Could never wish better finance school, great summer times with fruit picking seasons and Niagara Falls is only like 1 hr away. Miss this U soooo much😊 Update 27 June 2018 SUNYAB … I'm planning to visit this year end🤩Afiq M Shukr-Ruzita

If I could put no stars I would. Okay so I was doing pretty well in the college at first all A's and B's everything was going great! Until I ended up having to help out with rent so I had to get a job, and being a mother also I am one of the few who would NOT want to put that much stress (job, kids, and school) on myself. So I call them and tell tell whoever (if only I remembered her name) my situation and how I won't be able to attend anymore, and she ends up asking me all these questions like why am I withdrawing and questions that shouldn't really be asked because she didn't even say it's policy or anything, she just wanted to know. So I tell her I'm starting my new job soon and she asked me the one question that just actually made me done with her, she asked, "Are you sure you're not able to do all 3?" as in all 3 she means taking care of my child, going to work, and going to school. Let that sink in. It actually made me even more frustrated because she was telling me that if I did now it would cost a lot to pay back, but listen if I have to withdraw I have to. There's no 'Are you sure you want to?' So they said they'd call and tell me the rest of the details so we can get through with the withdrawal process and I haven't gotten a call yet but what I did get was an attendance email from Outlook telling me that I won't be able for eligibility for my financial aid if I miss 14 days. Wow. So, I'm going to call them now because this is ridiculous and I do not have time. But if you do go to this school, please be careful. i know that other people will have a better experience or whatever. But this is not one of them.AiKitty Chan

I was excited to start my online career here. However the guy in admissions that was assigned to me was not for me. He was not personable at all I only spoke to him one time and that was for five minutes he never explained anything just said he will send me an email if assessments that was it never heard from him again I tried email him several times never received a email or a phone call until five day later stating to complete more assessments I had questions and he did not answer them . I tried calling to see if I could get someone new they said no I had to work with him. I declined moving forward with this school I’m with better school now who my admissions lady is great she so informative because of this experience I would not attend school hereDaevonte Reed

1. They don’t offer free counseling to students. I can’t imagine a university not caring about their students mental health 2. The bus schedule to pick students up to bring them to the university is unclear and the coach for Soccer said she never sees it either 3. You don’t have a credit union. Many students don’t have credit and credit unions are a great/safe way to help students open up into that world. UW Green Bay has all of these things. When you’re looking for a job they don’t care if you go to a private college or not. Your experience trumps everything, so consider that before applying.Blue Lagoon

I went to Canisius for a 4 year triple major and I really enjoyed it. The classes are small and the professors actually care. It has a great business program, but there are a lot of gen-ed prereqs that you need to take which is somewhat of a shame. Highly recommend getting involved with groups and clubs though. Networking is one of the best things you can do. You will have some professors taking attendance, and I know, sounds a bit weird for college (especially because you are the one paying), but it only furthers the fact that the professors care. All of the professors have their doctorates and many have real-world business experience which is a big plus. Since graduating, I still keep in-touch with a few professors. You'll get as much out of it as you put in. If you try and sit back and be invisible, you won't get as much out of it. If you're actually active and participate in class, you're going to have a good and positive experience. I would recommend Canisius. Have made many life-long friendships with students as well as professors. Get involved though!Alex Bass

I am currently enrolled in the Graduate Education program at Canisius, seeking a Masters in English Education as well as an advanced TESOL certificate. I am writing this review because these reviews weighed heavily when I was deciding which program to attend last year. The teachers I have had here are all touch notch. They go above and beyond to make sure we have the tools we need to be effective in the classroom: a classroom that is becoming more diverse and challenging. Canisius is a college that cares about you as a person. They take into consideration your personal circumstances and really advocate for your success through how they put theory into practice. Not only are the teachers always available to help; but administration as well. I attended Boston College undergrad so I was also looking for the Jesuit spirit as well…I found it here. Hands down I would recommend this school. I am seeking dual certification – Ontario & NY – Canisius will help you with this process.daisy cook

I am a Canisius graduate of 2013 and I do not regret going to this school. To get the most out of this school, you have to know certain people. These people are the professors, your classmates, and maybe the staff that make the food ;). In all seriousness, the classes were small and the professors were willing to help. This college has resources at your disposal so do not be afraid to use them. Now, it is an expensive school so keep that in mind, but the programs are fantastic. Just keep in mind that it is near the East Side and some neighborhoods are not so good. During the day you will be fine walking through them but at night I would keep an eye out and check your surroundings if you are walking around them. Other than that, have fun!Argi Hispanic American

SAVE YOUR MONEY!! They give a scholarship to every dunce that walks through the door, to make it seem like a great deal to loop more people in to going. I originally signed up for a bachelor's degree and realized I really wasn't a fan of this college. I wanted to switch to an associate's degree to get out sooner instead of completely withdrawing from the college and was told that wasn't an option?(don't see that happening at a suny school) So I could either suffer there for 4 full years or just quit. I chose the latter. Also was attending during covid and they were not prepared or flexible at all with online learning. They expected me to learn comparative anatomy online with a teacher who wasn't equipped to teach it ( lots of first year professors, makes me think working there is just as bad as being a student) Awful experience, they build the school up alot but it really is mediocre. You get less opportunities and flexibility for 30,000 a year. Also the parking situation is a joke, to pay that much money and have to park at the zoo lmao. Instead of building a million dollar sports complex why not another parking lot first?????!?? Save your money go to a state college!!!Izzy Rayne

Please please please save your money. The internship program here is a nightmare. People in the same degree as me are graduating with very different requirements, for instance, my professor in charge of internships needs 240 hours and two jobs, other students are graduating with 30, 60, 80, 300 etc. The requirements are not given to you in the handbook and it is very confusing. The buildings are deteriorating from old age and the school does not fix it. Windows do not open and close, it’s hot in up stairs classroom, classes are unbearably boring, the professors constantly argue with the board of the directors, and the school was charged with embezzlement a year or two ago. Please please please consider another option, taking a gap year to think about your future and education, trade school, or another small college. Also medaille’s small size works against it in my opinion, the classes are too small to find friends with similar interests, no one talks to each other, and there are not many clubs to join. They don’t even have a ski club, what school in buffalo doesn’t have that?? I could go on but it’s unnecessary, please save your money AND TIME. <3C Woe

Medaille College: quirky, small, landlocked, connected, brilliant. I do not think I could have made a better choice. Communications (Media) is one of the most volatile and unpredictable career fields in the world; it also happens to be my major. Had I chosen another school for this study I would more than likely be studying either a specific field like radio or promotions or I could be in a theory-based curriculum. By choosing Medaille I open up a world of possibilities to myself because we are not limited to one field or another. In one year I acted in countless videos, produced and directed many myself, formulated advertising and promotional campaigns, and wrote many a news article. I did a good amount of this in our Radio and TV Studios and with total access to a staff of professors who have experience in their field. If you're serious about your future then you should have Medaille on your radar.Ryan DePaolo

I was pursuing a bachelors degree there for Graphics Design, and through the course of my studies must say this school is perhaps the most disorganized. They have little to no contact/ communication with other departments. Transferring from another college with a 3.98 GPA and an associates degree felt like it afforded me little to no time off the whole bachelors degree. The financial aid department is a joke, literally they will tell you they are not your financial "babysitters" when asking for assistance and clarification on your aid. If you request a review of work being done and you feel was unfairly graded by a professor there are no means to seek, no one to talk to. All in all, don't waste your time. Definitely not a cheap school to attend, as they have hidden fees that cannot be circumvented, even if you don't use the particular activities they charge you for (unlike other schools like UB where they will drop any unnecessary activity fee if not being used). Two weeks to my starting my second from the last semester (after I contacted the financial aid office) notified I need to get a private loan otherwise I owe and be able to finish my last semester, two weeks prior to starting mind you. This college cares nothing about it's students. My experience taught me this.Donald “Spyder”

Awful school… immature peers, if you are a person who is motivated and determined to succeed.. this isn’t the place for you. My experience was awful! I was picked on, got bullied on and when I reported it nothing was done. It was so bad that a woman who was by the name of Ms. Marshall did nothing to reprimand the students who were bullying me. Instead the lady waited for me to leave the school to turn back and put a stay away order in my file and made it seem like she was doing her job before I left the school but blamed me for everything. Horrible experience…. I would never ever come here again ..The public safety is also uneducated, instead of understanding the facts. Their first impression that you and your roommates and their friends is fighting over a guy…. Horrible place Met the worst people here..Grace Lopez

My daughter will be starting in the fall 2022 and I'm reading the reviews it's not good one bit but trust and behold if my daughter roommate or any child think they can do foolishness to mine it's gonna be a different headlines I don't play when it comes to mine (child) I'm a mama bear to the core and make no mistakes I won't hold back on anyone who try her I will pull up and handle it trust this school needs to be more productive in helping students when they report bullying sad 😭jennine chung

I'm giving a,0 because of the unprofessional front end person. I needed directions to a certain floor and was told I wasn't allowed to go up unless I called them first. I had to call the contact person myself when they wouldn't be bothered to. Hope I don't ever come back cuz I didn't get in touch with the person anyway DRick Dobmeier

Nice brain museum inside. I contacted a month in advance to secure entrance. The museum is actually the one room, but has a lot of very nice specimens if you are interested in that kind of thing. Also has an Alzheimers specimen, some thin seconds, some models, and some artwork. The labels are very informative.Brad Caldwell

Nephew Jay Jay this one right down the street from me. This is also why I told your father my brother & I'll talk with my sister Elizabeth if you needed a place to stay you can move in with me. We will go to the gym every day swim lift & I'll get you as you should be.the train or bus can bring us there.AngelRafael Colon Sr

I wanted the grant for CDL A training. I was well prepared I have my CDL A permit and medical card. I was told by the counselor MaryJane Janora that she doesn't think I can handle the trucking industry, she lied and said there are no local trucking jobs, that she doesn't think I can handle over the road. I have never been put down so badly by a counselor that's supposed to help you. I thought highly of EOC but after that I don't anymore. Just sad because they have so many jobs in that industry that wanted to hire me. I will never go here again.Ubah Badan

Yes!!!! I passed the tasc! The best school to study. The people are very professional and friendly. They are also very positive and motivating. In the orientation the teacher were excellent. The math teacher Luh, jousep was excellent and very attentive to the students. He focused on teaching what we really need to pass the subject. Very good job teacher Luh. I passed the math🙂. My academic counselor Kristy kaminski was always very profesional, kind and very good attitude. Thank you UBEOC .Vivian Villegas

I went here and received my GED/HSE at the age of 31. I can't thank the teachers and staff at EOC enough for the help and care that got here. I went on to take the civil service exam and get a job working for The State of New York office of People With Developmental Disabilities and it was all possible because I had a GED/HSE. If you need help getting yours I would recommend starting here. It's usually free as well!!!Jimmy Schultz

School as very poor communication all the way down to the director of the program. 2 months After paying a deposit for a morning class that was promised , with still no information. When asked to be put in the next available class possible I was denied even being that I paid 2 months ahead of time ( I was told I can enter such program in the first of each month ) Fast forward to be finally competing less then 200 hours of school time . EACH young lady that had completed 1000 hours wether tuition paid off or not received A certificate of completion . The day I graduate the rules manically changes per the directions who’s giving me a hard time about the whole program in the first place . How ironic , and yes I Spoke with plenty of my classmates before graduation they DID NOT pay off the tuition bill before graduation. Ive been discriminated against .This little black girl is still going to win . Wish any one the best of luck here the only things cared for at this school is the check your education means much of nothing .Marchell Bell

We don't get the necessary materials to learn. Ridiculous that we have to pay to get sub par preparation. Fantastic teacher but class could be supplied better. Fantastic in class learning but in lab prep is lacking.alex s

I graduated from Trocaire College in May of 2018 with a degree in Radiologic Technology. At the time I entered the school, the program had a great reputation, with teachers and staff that had years of experience at the college and in the field. My class was the first class where they took on almost twice as many students. This meant they had to cut the clinic time in half for us because they no longer had enough sites to place us at. The long time director knew this would have negative consequences for the students and for the field, and because she opposed this, she was fired. After that things really started to deteriorate and a couple long time teachers began their exit. I felt like a guinea pig for almost two years. There was an extreme lack of leadership and many students came out unprepared due to not having enough clinic time. The only real message Trocaire College gave me is that they ONLY care about money. I got a good degree, and afterwards a good job, but for the price you pay you might as well go to a community college where you'll pay 1/3 the price. save yourself the trouble.Patrick Gallagher
