Student Union

UB’s Student Union is one of the busiest places on campus. It’s a central meeting spot for students to grab something to eat, catch up with friends or find a place to relax. Many clubs and organizations have offices inside the Student Union, and there’s also an auditorium, game room and event spaces.

There's always something going on in the Student Union, like a mechanical bull, Robot Wars, pumpkin carving, therapy dogs, free massages, admissions events, student involvement fairs and more.

🤘 Welcome Center

The first floor Welcome Center greets you when you enter the Student Union. There, the staff can provide you with event information, directions, room reservations and more.

🎨🐂 Paint-a-Bull

The Paint-a-Bull, located right outside of the Student Union, promotes freedom of speech on campus. The buffalo may be painted between sunset and sunrise by one group at a time—whoever gets there first—and is an opportunity for students to express themselves artistically.

♣️ Student Clubs

UB has over 400 clubs and organizations. There is a club for every academic major as well as a variety of other clubs for any interest, like Super Smash Brothers, Outdoor Adventure, engineering, dance, and more. If there isn't a club that interests you, you can start your own!

International Fiesta

The annual International Fiesta is a talent competition featuring UB’s international student clubs and is one of our most popular student-run events.

🎫 UB Ticket Office

UB students can get free tickets to on- and off-campus events. Popular opportunities include AMC movie theater tickets, Distinguished Speaker Series tickets, tickets to speaker events and more.
