Buffalo: The City of Good Neighbors
The Buffalo-Niagara region—home to 1.5 million residents—is the state’s second-largest major metropolitan area exceeded only by New York City. Buffalo is home to leaders in the health care, sport, technology, nonprofit, and corporate professions, which provide many hands-on training and employment opportunities for Canisius students. The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, located within a mile of the Canisius campus, is a center of innovation and economic development with its world-class health care organizations, clinical research institutes, and burgeoning biomedical and tech companies.

Canisius is located in the Hamlin Park district, a historic and conveniently located residential neighborhood in north-central Buffalo. Canisius’s prime location provides the ideal backdrop for a student’s college experience. We are within walking distance to Delaware Park, the city’s most popular greenspace; a short bike ride or drive to the Elmwood Village, a bustling cultural district; and a 10-minute train ride to historic Allentown or to Buffalo’s stunning and redeveloped downtown waterfront.

Canisius is also within driving distance of exciting international destinations, including Niagara Falls and Toronto, and is within a day’s drive or hour-long flight from most major cities in the Northeast.
