Some of the stereotypes that i have heard are that most of the student population is asian. Also some people have told me that there are a lot of drugs on campus, they only think this because of the way SBU used to be. Another is that some people think it is a commuter school and very few students stay on the weekends so they feel they will not geet the true college experience.

A stereotype about Stony Brook is that Asians are a major population of the student body and that they all tend to "cling" to each other and don't really spread their wings and experience other races other than their own.
