You'll love the Elmwood strip, and we have bus service to the mall from campus.

heyy i was in Buffalo in April with a couple of friends.. and we got kicked out the mall and almost arrested because we werent 18... but i turned 18 in may... so now im ready to go back and shop till i drop... soo if ur under 18 and ur somehow in college.... becareful, shoppin under 18 is a felony..

waite i dont understand that?? how couldu get arrest 4 shopping?? theres an age limit??

lol dats funny an age limit for spening ur money!

Why do I feel like there must be more to this story?

Also - you guys are in college now. Try to watch the spelling and the "ur" stuff

Residence Life IT you are absolutely correct, I must try and change my typing habits (Laughing Out Loud).

Cassy, you're crazy!

Kussy, That's the spirit! You are typing pretty well, girl!

haha, I always type well. Well, at least I try. I just probably get typos. Not like I do it purposely

We have something like that at the mall near where I am. You have to be 18 or older to go into the mall after a specific time, or escorted by someone who is 21+ if you're underage. It's to keep teens from hanging out at the mall and causing trouble or something like that.

The galleria is a great place to shop. It has almost every store you could pretty much need. No hollister though if you like that store.lol just a&f.

Anyway the mall rule is silly, but great since you never need to worry about seeing high school kids roaming the mall aimlessly trying to find something to do. I look young and i was never approached. I think as long as you're behaving and not acting like you're 10, then you'll be fine. You're there to shop, not to sit around on the floor (i've seen it) of the mall acting ridiculous.

I live in a small town near Buffalo....and Buffalo is soooo fun....there are TONS of thing to do!!!.....and we are going to be super close to canada where u only have to be 19 to drink...( on the weekends of course )....i am a incoming freshman but i am turning 21 in december and there is chippewa.....which is a whole strip of bars and dance clubs ( for the night life)and nice cafe's to eat at during the daytime....when we move into the dorms...anyone near me i will show u are our awsome city....and niagra falls canada CLIFTION HILL is the place to be on a friday if u like to go clubin'!!!!

to add to my note.....canada is very very very expensive.....it is litterally like $10 canadian for a mixed drink but the scene is worth it...TRUST ME

its CLIFTON HILL.....sorry for the typo

i think i have the worst shopping habits . If i had a Dollar for everytime my mom said im not going to a fashion show iwould probably be a billionare but at least i dont have to worry bout getting kicked out of malls cause im 18 hahaha . But i do need to know the spots college is not an excuse to fall off shopping is my scene. So if any one knows please tell me i would love to know.

Dramagurlcs im with you. Need to know the spots ya know

Boyz can go shoppin too.. and i wanna go wit ur grls.. im shoppin every weekend up here in NYC gettin ready for tha Buffalo weather.. thank god i turned 18 in may so now i can shop freely in tha MAll

did someone say SHOPPING i am gonna take a day to walk around aimlessly around buffalo (even if i get lost) just to go around lokoing for hot places....and if it comes to spending money im there trust me (i have got to get rid of that habit very badly) any money in my hand magically appears in a cashier at a store LMAO....anyways hit me up cuz i got great taste too (in boys also) lol MUAHZ

Well that's very... foward of you.

SHOPAHOLICS UNITE!

It's good to know that other girls on this campus share my spending habit

im such a shopaholic. i think i was at the galleria every weekend last semester.

If you guys want some real shopping fun go to Toronto. It's like 45 minutes-hour away. It's like a really clean NYC. I'm not crazy about the galleria, but that's just me..I also worked there so it makes me hate it more. Theres an outlet mall in Niagara Falls where they SOMETIMES have nice clothes at really inexpensive prices. The Galleria doesn't have too much of a selection of stores, but I'm also a picky shopper.

Well is there any bus service that goes to Toronto? Toronto is in Canada, do you need a passport or sumthin to get over the border?

My friends and I are planning a weekend trip to Canada. His parents go up there each weekend. My friend told me that all I'd need was my drivers liscense (well, permit since I don't have a liscense) and my original birth certificate and possibly my Social Security Card.

Have you ever crossed the boarder before? If not, it goes something like this (well, as far as I know... Last time I went to Canada was sometime last year). When you pull up, they'll ask you why you're going to Canada and where you're going. Then they'll ask you your citizenship. Then they'll ask for i.d. And then they'll let ya go. Coming back, you're not allowed to bring a lot of stuff with you without paying a tax on it... So watch what you bring back.

Nope. Never been over any border before. Maybe for Spring break next yr.. I have heard Canada was a cool country. I have ID (at least my permit cause I don't have my liscense yet either, lol.) I didn't think I would need my Birth Certificate but since I will I guess I'll have to bring that thing with me and hide it. Anywhoo, Thnks for the information.

I've crossed the border hundreds of times, and I have never needed anything more than a driver's license. If you're not a US citizen, then you may need your passport. I know they say you need it here:

http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/region...ional_1170.html

but I've never been asked for this when entering Canada. They usually ask for your license when you come back to the US anyway.

Oh, last tip: don't joke around with your answers. Unless you like being pulled over and having your car searched, that is.

So I don't need my Social Security Card and Birth Certificate?!?! Thank goodness because I really[i] was not trying to bring those things to school with me

I think all of the shopaholics here are gonna learn that they will need to curb their spending habits if they want to afford college. If anyone here has enough money that they don't need to I'd be willing to let you give me some so you don't feel as though you have too much- LOL. And about the mall- the only thing that matters is there is an Apple Store- excellent computers I just got a macbook about two weeks ago- it is far better than a PC

macs.. yuck. I'm a PC person

I hate the whole debate between PCs and Macs. It's like Ford vs. Chevy. Who cares! Macs are good for video/photo editing and don't get viruses. PCs are good for the average user, and as long as they know what they're doing they're not going to get viruses.

I've used both and like using both.

Anyways. Sorry to get off topic, but I just had to say that.

Okay unconventional older student here Not sure exactly why you would get harrassed shopping in a mall being under age *unless your were being a little naughty*, as I have teenage children, and my daughter goes to the mall with her friends all the time. Never once been harrassed. Anywhoo, there is the Galleria Mall in Cheektawaga( my kids like the Steve N Barry's store, all sports clothes ect.. are under $10), Niagara Falls Outlet (you'll love this mall) in Niagara Falls, The Mickenly Mall in Orchard Park ( I like this one too) Boulavard Mall in Amherst on Niagara Falls Blvd., and the Summit Park Mall in Niagara Falls.
As far as the under age drinking bit in Canada, be VERY careful and please drink responsibly and don't drink and drive. The legal age is 19 BUT once you cross back over to the US, being intoxicated under age is illegal. Yes, I sound like a mom, and I am one and I worry about you all ~ so have fun but be safe. Also, drink in moderation~alcohol poisoning is no joke okay. And watch your drinks, too many fatal drugs are being placed into them. Sorry to preach, but this is coming from experience. I went downtown to celebrate a birthday with friends, I was drinking pop and the next thing I knew I was waking up with tubes down my throat and stomache pumped and the doctors said that good thing my ex hubby got me to the hospital or I would have died. AND I was just drinking pop. So be safe okay

That, or you don't make eye contact with the security guards. (Official mall rat)

lol great i dont turn18 until the month after i start. =/

If your purpose is to go to the mall and act a fool then yeah the little mall cops are going to bother you...If you be cool then they don't bother you. Actually, you really don't notice the cops ever...at least I haven't and I've been at this school for four years now.

get ready for our winters..

I'm in!!, also a freshman turning 21 in december, thought I would be the only one...

im not a freshman, but a transfer n i turn 21 on december 9th... yay december ppl.. lol

Yes, the Galleria Mall has a rule that on the weekends minors must be accompanied by an adult.

great so i see lots of shopping lovers =] lOl i'm a shopaholic myself. & yes you need a passport to cross the border I just went up to canada the day after my graduation to go shopping. I went to Montreal & they have tons of stores! OMG it was great! i loved it.

yay dec. 28th! lOl even tho sum ppl try & gip me & give me 1 present for my bday & christmas! Lol but i wont be turning 21 ill be 19 =]

Since this topic is a little outdated I thought I would give an update:

There is now a Hollister in the Galleria!

And as of last January, you now need an actual passport to cross the border... just so you all are prepared!

Welcome to Buff State I'm a senior now so I am here to answer any of your questions!

I'm a senior for the next few weeks then i'll have officially graduated and get to spend another 2 yrs of my life at Buff State for graduate school. (hoping i'll be able to sneak up to the honors lounge to hang out with some of the awesome people up there still though)

When I was still in undergraduate they made that 'passport to Canada' rule. If you get an enhanced drivers license that will work also
