"I love Canisius’s small‑city‑Jesuit vibe, how easy it is to get close with professors and fellow students while still being close to Buffalo’s music and sports scene, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the limited dining options, the sometimes‑quiet weekends, and the way campus‑life energy can feel a bit thin in off‑seasons were all more noticeable once I stopped visiting and started living there."
