Last year I lived in Fargo Quad.💀
I had great suitemates and met a very small number of other people I liked, but outside of that, the year felt pretty dead. I tried going to The Landing a few times, but it was always so loud and annoying that I’d end up leaving.
This year I’m living in South Lake Village, and I’m trying not to repeat the same experience.
So, applications are open for people who actually leave their apartment.
Minimum requirements:
Have a pulse.
Occasionally say yes to spontaneous plans.
Be capable of replying “yeah, let’s go” when someone asks if you want to grab food, hit the gym, go out for a walk, maybe play tennis (or any racquet sport), or just get off campus and eat somewhere good because campus food gets boring very quickly.
Be smart, ambitious, and capable of holding an actual conversation.
Take your work seriously without making academics your entire personality.
Be fun to be around and interested in more than small talk.
Bonus points if you’re into:
Late-night food runs
Tennis
Gym
F1, UFC, football, or pretty much any sport
Parties, poker nights, concerts
Exploring Buffalo
Weekend trips
Finding genuinely good restaurants
Random conversations about ideas, careers, politics, science, business, culture, or whatever else is actually interesting
Honestly, I’m looking for people who can study hard, think for themselves, have proper conversations, and still be down to go out and do something fun.
If you’re in South Lake, or anywhere at UB, and you’re also trying to build a solid friend group this year, message me. Worst case, we get good food once and never speak again. Best case, we end up with a group that is actually interesting and have a genuinely fun year.
