Question Regarding Stony Brook EOP Summer Program

<p>I am attending Stony Brook next year fall 09 though their EOP/AIM Program.
Does any one know if the summer program is mandatory? Will I have to stay their for 5 weeks?Will i be able to come home everyday if i needed to?<br>
I am only asking because it is very hard for me to leave my house for five weeks as my family is very independent on me. My parents are very sick these days and I will not be able to leave their attention for five weeks.
SBU said if i dont attend their program during the summer i will lose my fall seat.
Does anyone know what are the rules regarding this program? How will i be able to explain this to sbu? anyone help please thanks.</p>

<p>it is mandatory to stay for the five weeks but the 3rd sat we could go home</p>

<p>IF YOU TELL THEM YOU WANT TO COMMUTE; you may be able to go back and forth between classes etc.</p>
