What is the best meal plan to have?
It really depends on how much you eat as a person. For example, students who like to work out and have a high metabolism get a platinum plan which is the highest, but students with a slower metabolism get a smaller plan. You can also upgrade/downgrade as needed, so if you run out/have too much money left you can easily add more or get a refund.
Does Stony Brook really empty out on the weekend?
While some students go home on the weekends, we do have a lot of international, out of state, and upstate NY students that stay on the weekends.
What are the best quads?
Quads are a matter of personal opinion. Some people prefer some quads to others, it depends on your style preference (suite vs. corridor) and your undergraduate college preference (ex. liking art or leadership, etc.)
-How is move-in day?
Move in day is very busy but there is a Welcome Wagon program where current students help you to move into your dorm.
-How are the classes and class registration?
We offer a ton of classes, and you will be taking classes for your major as well as general education requirements. For class registration, it takes place in November and April, and if you need any help you can talk to advisers about your schedule. For registration for your first semester, you will register at orientation over the summer.
-How are the professors?
Most of the professors that I’ve had are very nice and understanding. We have a lot of distinguished faculty.
-How are the internships?
There are definitely a lot of awesome internship opportunities here. Check out the career center when you arrive on campus!
