    Fine print, for Buffalo, i.e.University of New York at Buffalo....they have changed to to "University AT Buffalo", not univ of buffalo...not a good move in my opinion, but got to do what you got to do i suppose.
    Well so i have been there. It all falls under the SUNY system. So all Universities are SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Albany etc. there is probably over 50 schools in that system. They all are SUNY (city tag)

    There isnt a defacto NYSU ot UNY, there is NYU (private)

    So instead of being SUNY Buffalo which is there official name, they just call themselves Buffalo.

    i actually been there i had a guy went there, graduated from UL in pre-law and graduated from law school from SUNY Buffalo or Buffalo.

    Had to fact check myself lol.

    from google:

    he official academic name is University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. The legal name is State University of New York at Buffalo (used for formal documents like diplomas and contracts), while University at Buffalo is the primary, public-facing name. [1, 2]

      Basically the powers that be in charge of name police are ok with self identifying as a city but not as a state, and also never enforce using "state" in the name when it is actually in the official name

        They are more into the "at` than the "it"

        "It" is LOUISIANA.edu
