No worries, gemini18. My son is currently a junior at Stony Brook. While it’s true the campus does empty out during weekends, there are plenty of students who don’t go home. We’re two hours away, and my son will come home once a month if his schedule allows. His roommates and friends rarely go home. And there are plenty of international students who don’t, either. As for transportation, there are shuttle buses that will take you to the mall and other stores. There’s even an LIRR station on campus. And unless it’s changed, your son can have a car on campus when he amasses 57 credits. Some kids come in with AP and college credits, so it can easily be by sophomore year.
