I love Stony Brook! My first year at Stony Brook University was lovely. My favorite part about the college so far has been the atmosphere and the diverse student population within this school. Everyone I've met, students and faculty alike, have been very friendly and easy to talk to. If I had something I wanted to see change, it'd likely be for there to be more On-Campus events during the weekends to engage students.
I've only been here for a couple weeks (freshman), and I love it! It's much better than high school. A better atmosphere. I feel safer. The campus is really safe, even at night. There are a lot of things to do on campus. The school is really good with getting info and opportunities out to students. The food is good. There's too much Asian cuisine. I like that the dining halls are open late at night. The academics have been good so far. I love all of my professors. They are all really interesting, informative, friendly, and helpful. The dorms and rooms are nicer and bigger than I expected. People complain too much about the size of the rooms.
Stony Brook University is a top research school in the North East and nation as a whole. It is also one of the most diverse schools in the nation, so anyone from any race, religion or sexual orientation will feel comfortable here. There is an emphasis on the sciences, but humanities programs here are still top notch. Socially, the school doesnt have the best reputation, though you will find friends I promise!
