Stony Brook University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Jonathan

This campus is very diverse. I don't think you will find any place with such a wide variety of students. There are people of every race, sexual orientation, religion, and background. At Stony Brook, you find people interested in the things YOU are interested in, because there are so many groups and clubs to take part in. Clubs range from ethnic clubs, a very accepting LGBTA , activist groups, and activity groups such as Archery, Capoiera, and Anime. Theres something here for everyone, but it requires people to be involved. And if you are involved, friends are guaranteed.

Stony Brook has a diversity that you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. We have students that come from all over the world; you'll hear 20 different languages being spoken just walking across campus. I come from a small one-stoplight town where, though the nearby military base creates an influx of new people every now and then, I have known my classmates all my life. I had no problem transitioning to such a big school though, because SBU res life has made sure that no student gets lost in the bustle of the big campus.

Hilda

I enjoyed the extracurricular activities in the school. There was a club for anyone and everyone- fraternities, sororities, culture-based, academic-based, interest and honor clubs. There was even a "Ghost Hunter Club." If there was no club geared towards the students' interest, then the students had the right to create one and the school embraced it!
