Stony Brook University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Stony Brook University accurate?

Carolyn

these are somewhat accurate

Stephen

for the most part yes

Andy

No, I don't feel this is accurate since I am quite content to dorm at Stony Brook, though I do wish it was more populated on the weekends.

Sasha

For the most part both are right.

Morgan

yes

Dale

Kinda, not quite.

Catherine

I would say that many people do leave on the weekends. I would say more so than at any other school. I do not feel that all Stony Brook students are unhappy, I would just say that maybe the students demonstrate a lack of school spirit.

Deb

To some extent. Most SBU students are commuters, or partial commuters (they leave most weekends). School spirit is centralized in athletes and perhaps in sororities and fraternities. The administration is, like any large college's administration, lacking in many areas. Since SUNY SB is a research college, many of the professors are hired to do research, not to teach. But there are good and bad professors in each department. It is luck of the draw.

Connie

Everything is true. We don't have real professors Grad students teach our classes. This school sucks don't come here PLEASE!

Vick

They are pretty accurate compared to other colleges.
