Contrary to the popular perception of large research universities, at Stony Brook I've found that most of the faculty are skilled, dedicated teachers who truly care for students and will go out of their way to help you find research opportunities and internships. The student body is diverse and interesting, and the social life is great (especially if you get involved with a student organization or club). There's always something to do and always new people to meet. Dorms are pretty crowded these days, but more people are realizing there's decent off-campus housing to be found even for those of us without cars (there are apartments within walking distance and on the train line).

Great academics, awesome people, lots of student life, and relatively affordable tuition—what more could you want?
