It's a good university, but the classes are not easy As, especially if you are a STEM major. As a biology and psychology double major, I tend to struggle in certain classes. They can feel impossible, but I'm sure if you put your maximum effort you will probably end up being very prepared for graduate school. Do NOT underestimate the courses offered here. In addition, self studying may be required because some professors are only focused on their research. But because there is research, there are opportunities to get involved! For the price, you are getting a phenomenal education where you will leave more knowledgeable than you came here. The Greek life isn't typical, which is kind of a good thing, because joining Greek life here means you'll increase your social circle as well as increase your grades. The food is average, but for a school this size, it makes sense.
If you are a dedicated students looking to go to sbu, DONT! The school refill really melt you down because of the professor’s themselves. They don’t even speak English! Also, you won’t ever get into a class you want unless you have at least 40 credits before coming into college (I AM NOT JOKING AT ALL IM REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THE CLASSES). I was so excited to study really hard but even when you do all that you have to, sbu exams and professors don’t correlate their teaching and exams. Absolutely horrible. Please guys don’t listen to the “NAME OF THE SCHOOL” and don’t value it’s degree it will save you a lot of pain in the future.
I am currently taking most of my classes online and class style depends on your professors. Expect methods from live sessions to being given all you need and only meeting your class/professor for quizzes and tests.
Besides that, stony brook provides a lot of online informative sessions to help foster a sense of community and respect among students. You can even choose your own online workshops to watch and learn more about the school!
