Stony Brook University has a little bit of everything for different kinds of people. It's a school that really welcomes everyone to its doors.

Someone who is looking for an exceptional experience in the fine arts.

Transfering into Stony Brook University in Spring 2013. Currently a student at Suffolk County Commuinty College; those who seek no improvement of of their academic success, or wish to start anew; this college is not for you; then again neither is any opportunity of greater education. Despite the peering reputation, Suffolk County Community College has an honorable hold on achievement. In faith I trusted them to feed the evergrowing mind of the Poet Scholar; in which allows a further progression of my entity.

If you're looking for a school where you think you can slide by with average effort. This school demands and gets the most from each of its students.

A person that is not friendly and is not accommodating to other religions, nationalities, ethnicities, and political views.

A person that doesn't like big communities or big classes. Someone who needs more one on one attention and help.

Stony Brook is a school for students who are serious about their studies. It is an academically focused school.While there are activities on campus, most students go home on the weekends or are commuter students. It is not a university for students who are looking mainly for an active social life both during the week and on weekends, and whose focus isn't mainly their studies.

Academically focused

Slackers, party people, those who like to put work off at the last minute.

The school is almost half commuters. Consequently, there are few big school events and lacks a campus community feeling. It is hard to get involved because clubs are inconsisent and barely functioning. If you are a social person wanting to get involved in the community, I don't recommend going here.

Despite certain facts not supporting this, it would seem that most of the school is Asian. So a person who is prejudice against that ethnicity would not faire well.

The kind of person who should attend this school is a very career-oriented person or a person who is very social. Two great things about my school are that the academic programs are very good and provide students the knowledge and experience necessary for their future career goals and aspirations. THe school is also very good with regards to social life, and meeting a lot of new friends. There are a lot of clubs and organizations to meet new people and obtain new connections.

Some one who is wastefull or some one who does not care about our enviroment.

People who are looking for a very strong student teacher relationship shouldn't attend this school. Basically, students go to lectures and learn most of it from reading on their own. Although, the professors are helpful at times, they don't have enough time to care for each student. To make up for it, they bring in TA's to take their place instead. Also, people who are looking for a school with school spirit shouldn't attend either. This school doesn't have much of a school spirit and on that subject, it's pretty much a dead area.

A person that should not attend Stony Brook University is one that is not willing to work for the grade that they want.

Someone who always needs something, other than studying, to do. The school is very academically focused (in part due to the large concentration of international students there for the sole purpose of getting a degree). Social activities are...a slowly evovling thing. Most kids go home or away on the weekend. Also, if you are from far away and do NOT have a car, think again. The campus is very rural and you need a car to get around and not feel trapped. There are buses and a train but it is more complicated than necessary sometimes.

A person who shouldn't attend this school is someone who isn't motivated. You need to be motivated to talk to you professors if you need help. You need to do your work; no one will remind you. You need to be motivated to find someting fun to do in your down time. It isn't a majorly difficult school, but you need to do a lot of the work. Teachers won't come looking for people who need help. You need to go to them and ask. The burden of learning is more on you.

This school is welcoming to all types!....just be prepared to study :) ALOT.

Someone who does not like a variety among students, since there is a wide range of ethnicities and groups on campus, or someone that does not like a big campus should not attend this school, since it is quite large and has many students. Also, if cold weather bothers someone, they probably should not attend.
