<p>I was just picked to be a scholar student at SBU (less than 8% of incoming class according to the letter) Waht does it mean to be a scholar student at SBU and what benefits are there for being one?</p>
<p>I know that being a university scholar lets you sign up for classes a while before other freshmen which is very nice… Ummmm I’m not one, but I know a lot of people who are. They have a special advisor who I guess is really great. They have their first semester seminar with other university scholars. You do get a free t-shirt at the beginning of the year for it. lol I can’t think of many other things, but the scheduling of classes early is really good</p>
<p>it’s basically that. you get earlier registration than other kids. you get some type of scholarship. you get a special advisor specifially for scholar kids who knows everything about everything. there are special events and trips you get to go on for free because you’re a scholar (bodies exhibit, spamalot, trips into port jefferson, etc.).</p>
<p>Plus, you have the opportunity to take your freshman seminar with this guy from the admissions office who is AWESOME.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I love University Scholars; this is the first year I’ve really worked with the program, and I loved it. I even went on the Bodies trip, and despite my squeamishness, I’m so glad I went.</p>

<p>@psufan1991,</p>
<p>I was wondering if you were an Asian, specific a Chinese, because I am and about going to this school this falling too. Your name of ‘psufan1991’ is just like a standard way of naming a nickname constructs by your short name plus your birth year. well, the three characters of ‘fan’ makes it more convincing of PINYIN in Chinese. just out of curiosity, if i am wrong please forgiving me for such rudeness.</p>
