<p>Rixmix2k5: “(just in the sense of SB’s undergrad education isn’t the best yet either but at least it is getting better from what I’ve heard, if a current SB undergrad student could back me on this).”…</p>
<p>As a four year undergraduate student of Computer Science I can tell you that Stony Brook turned out to be a great experience. I had a great time here. The Computer Science faculty has been great and I have no regrets on coming here. In general, the SB student population has noticed the change and the improvements the University is putting forward in undergraduate education. Everyone knows this place is going to be huge in the near future (… even better than now that is) because the administration has put a lot of effort to enhance the undergraduate experience with renovations (i.e: Old Chemistry, Track field, Joe Nathan Field) expansion of current facilties (i.e Sac Food Court, Kelly Food court), and construction of new future facilities like the recreation center and the future Student Union. Recently a large residential complex was built almost entirely eliminating the “triples” among the undergraduate residents. I came in the Fall of 2007 when stony brook was heavily overcrowded in the residences and a lot of that has positively changed. I have noticed that the administration is putting hard work on unifying the community. A lot of things have changed here. </p>
<p>I will miss Stony Brook. I have had a lot of fun here, and my other friends have expressed satisfaction also. However, there is also significant minority who dislikes the campus due to the lack of activities in the weekends, the lack of turnout to campus events, lack of bars along Route 25A, and the lack of the collegetown feel.However, I have a feeling this is slowly changing. </p>
<p>You can see that the Athletics department is doing a better job and gathering more people every year to the sports games to unify the students. I myself have become a Seawolves fanatic and attend all the football games and most BB games.</p>
<p>Stony Brook is a great place, you just have to search for what you like, it has a lot of options. And ITS ONLY GETTING BETTER. </p>
<p>Our first 50 years established us as a leading research institution, the next 50 years should even be more promising.</p>
