Stony Brook University Top Questions

Stony Brook students are usually considered very smart, and very studious. I'm always proud to brag about what school I go to because I love to see people's reaction. It never gets old when people say 'that's a really good school'. But they also think it's a minority school, and always make jokes about it.

They're all foreign.

It's full of Asians! You can't walk around the campus for 20 seconds without running into one. Weekends are absolutely dead. Can get depressing at times. The campus looked like a prison, parts of it still does, but has greatly improved the past 3 years. Academically, it is reaching beyond and has a fast progressing. It's a good experience overall.

Professors are there just for research and could care less about the students. The campus is no fun for students, no parties. All foreigners.

Stereotypes consist mostly about the overwhelmingly large Asian student population. The Asian community can make someone who doesn't speak an Asian language feel like they are living on another continent. Stereotypically only non-English speaking people stay on campus over the weekends.

A ton of asians, teachers you can't understand, and huge classes.

They're all Asian.

That as a white person I would be the minority. That Stony Brook was Asian centeral.

I DON'T HAVE ANY. BEING A MATURE A/K/A OVER 30 YEAR OLD STUDENT, I THINK THAT EVERYONE AT STONYBROOK, INCLUDING PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS, ARE THE MOST OPEN MINDED, COURTEOUS AND CARING PEOPLE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. I LOVE STONY BROOK, THE STUDENTS AND STAFF, THE ATMOSPHERE, THE LEARNING. IF THERE IS A HEAVEN AFTER EARTH, I IMAGINE IT AS STONYBROOK.

its boring and the students are dorks
