@nonname, Thanks for the info. Yes I have been reading quite a bit here the last few months. What really concerned me was the budget cutbacks the SUNY system has been hit with, and the lack of funding available to a school like Stonybrook. I was really concerned with some of the stories I have heard about some classes having 500, 600, 700+ kids, not to mention tripling students in the dorms. What about the social life? Is it easy to make friends on campus. I’ve heard all the stories about the commuters leaving, and the NYC kids leaving on the weekends, but what about during the week? Are the kids there open, and friendly, or do they keep to themselves. Any other info from anyone else would be appreciated. Thanks!
