<p>Just as the title says how much money comes out your pocket to attend Stony Brook? Is it worth it?</p>
<p>It was 19k total for these year/two semesters. For me most of that was covered by federal aid due to very low EFC.</p>
<p>Edit: It’s very worth it for the price, beats any community college or CUNY in nyc. Also good enough to make it better looking in cost than the overpriced private schools
(which were giving me aid packages with 20k in loans even with low EFC).</p>
<p>Um undecided because I have to pay 7,000 a year but my parents earn so little. Is it worth taking a loan or should I just stay in NYC and commute to a Cuny (Id go to Queens College for free)</p>
<p>Up to you I suppose, look at the major you are doing, see if Stony is better at it or not. See if you can actually pay off the loan after graduating, alot of things to consider.</p>
<p>I believe the Financial Aid & Scholarship forum is the best place to ask about monetary issues,etc.</p>
<p>$0. I have a full ride and then some.</p>
<p>What’s the cost for out of state? And is Stony Brook generous with financial aid?</p>
<p>OOS - [Stony</a> Brook University Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.stonybrook.edu/ugadmissions/financial/costs.shtml]Stony”>Cost & Financial Aid)
Basically the 19k I have to play plus the additional 8k in tuition costs. So 27k? I wouldn’t say it is generous with fiancial aid, federal aid does cover alot sometimes and there is one scholarship many people get but only 1-2k or full ride for the super gpa freshmen but the other scholarships there are, you have to do the work applying(usually for sophmores,juniors,seniors). It’s a state school, don’t expect much beyond federal aid and state aid(if NY resident)</p>
<p>For OOS folks, it’s in the $23,000ish range, depending on meal plans and other small variables.</p>
<p>We give out a pretty good number of scholarships for incoming freshmen; typically students need to be in the 3.7/93 GPA range with at least a 1300 CR/M SAT.</p>

<p>@Chris- In-state costs ?? Dorming vs commuting. Direct & Indirect. Its confusing, can you spell it out? Thanx!</p>

<p>We try to make it as easy as possible; everything’s in the link above. “Indirect” costs are expenses that you may need to take classes here, but are not formal costs that you pay us directly. You may only spend $100 a semester on books, or you might spend $500. (Or whatever.) We’re just providing a guideline for families who are trying to budget.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>perfect! thank you, Chris.</p>
<p>@Chris-can a student enter undecided- ie, no college declared, and how does that work on such a large campus? Classes can be very spread out, yes? Is there a shuttle? Also do dorms usually correspond with the chosen major- for location? Or do you just choose which dorm you would like and hope to get it as an incoming Freshman? Thank you.</p>
<p>All freshmen will be a part of one of the Undergraduate Colleges, but they have nothing at all (necessarily) to do with your major (or future major, if you’re undecided). Each one corresponds to one residential quad.</p>
<p>[Stony</a> Brook University Undergraduate Colleges](<a href=“http://www.stonybrook.edu/ucolleges/]Stony”>Home | Undergraduate Colleges)</p>
<p>Classes aren’t that spread out; 90% of the academic buildings are within a ten-minute walking circle.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>oh wow, great! Thanx again Chris, you have been very helpful!</p>
<p>Hi, i would love to know wht d requirements would be for a full scholarship (free ride) lolz</p>
<p>Depends on the year and the pool. We don’t offer many of those; you need to be a top student and have extremely strong standardized test scores.</p>
