Life at Stony Brook?

<p>Hey, I'm applying to SBU next year and I've heard that it is pretty dull due to so many commuter students constantly leaving campus. I've also read that many students go home for the weekends. Is this true? About what percentage do you think go home during the weekends? Also, are SBU students active when it comes to extracurricular activities and clubs on campus?</p>

<p>35-44% Commuter base
56-65% Residents
About 25-35% of the residents go home on the weekends. But the rest stay on campus</p>

<p>I’m May 2012 graduate and I never had issues with people going home. I always had friends that stay around. Some students go home because of their parents, others get bored in campu. But it all comes down to you. You can have a great time at SBU…</p>
