I would agree most of the time. But they have a few programs with national reputations, mostly in the hard sciences, that have attracted larger numbers of out-of-state and international students. Math and physics at the top.
No idea what international student visa restrictions have done here.
Dorms at Stony Brook are so overfilled that they now ban students from within 30 miles of campus from living there. And the ban did not help. Something to consider when looking there.
