There are many positives and negatives to every university, and in the end it depends all on the student.

The rumors are true, campus clears out on weekends but there is always something to do. I have friends that leave and friends that stay. I personally am one of those who leave but i do so because i live in manhattan and i love the weekend life there. If i have too much work or something going on, i would stay at stony.

Food is not bad at all. Ive been to some other universities where the food is definitely worse. There are good spots to eat on campus like Wang center, union, sac, but the only downside is the prices are JACKED up! Thats why i usually cook, get Subway or something else.

I really, REALLY like the location of the school because it is right near Brookhaven Lab. Most ppl dont realize what kind of privilege this is. Some other schools that have a national lab are MIT, Stanford, etc. There is a profuse amount of opportunity at BNL if youre a science or engineering major, and most of the time the scientists there are very accepting to Stony students. Im currently here for the summer and will continue during my last year at Stony.

Overall its a great school. Very good price for a good education (assuming u pick the right major). Ive met some great people and ive made some good memories. Now its time to move onward to graduate school!
