<p>Personally, I feel the most appealing town to be in is New Paltz. On the other hand, I got my PhD at Stony Brook and have never left. I love Port Jefferson (nearby town where I live), the Sound, the proximity to the city, the enrichment of a major university. And I must say, as the years have passed I have fallen in love with Stony Brook.</p>
<p>Many of the kids’ friends attend. They wanted to get away.</p>
