I’m looking at some colleges in-state for Computer Science. Stony Brook is said to be very good for computer science and also affordable which is a plus for me since I already have one sibling at NYU and another at NYU Tandon.
What’s the environment like at Stony Brook and how does it compare academically to other schools for Computer Science? I plan to live on campus if I do go there and I heard that it’s pretty dead on the weekends? I’d really appreciate opinions about what people like and don’t like about the school. Thanks.
I am applying to NYU as well, but I’d rather not attend because I wouldn’t be able to dorm while attending due to how high the costs are for the school.
For CS, SBU is the best school bc they have the stronger math dept.
The CS program at stony brook is very good. The only issue is that a lot of students on campus commute and others leave during the weekends so just take note of that if you plan on dorming. But many students do stay on campus and there are many clubs and activities to do where you can meet like minded people. But academically and financially the program is a great choice.
