Best place to start a riot: The Student Union


If you've ever wanted to go out and scream about something but weren't sure where to start, here's your answer.

UB's North Campus was designed to prevent large gatherings, so riots and protests would be more difficult to organize.

Paint a sign and convene in the Student Union. Even though UB's structure aims to quell riots and protests, the Student Union was created as an afterthought. As such large, open spaces are at your disposal.

If you get kicked out, just take it outside - stand in front of the Stampede buses for effect.

The heavy flow of student traffic you'll undoubtedly impede is just a plus.

Should the University Police escort you off campus all together, hop on the subway and convene in front of the Main Place Mall. You're bound to pick up a few members of the Buffalo community and start a commotion that'll have shoppers and people walking to and from the courts and downtown offices turning heads.

Protest against the government, the food they're serving in the dining halls or even The Spectrum.
