The University at Buffalo estimates $10,376 for housing and $8,230 for meals for a 2026–27 undergraduate. This is a short guide: those are budget estimates, not residence hall prices, and I found no Buffalo rent figure.
Details come from UB Financial Aid’s cost page, checked on 23 October 2026. The estimates are the same for New York residents and non-residents and for on-campus and off-campus students. UB bills on-campus room and meals directly, while the off-campus amounts are indirect estimates, and the page says actual costs may vary. Apartment List’s Buffalo page showed no rent figures.

For actual room prices, check UB Campus Living for the hall you are considering.
