<p>i am trying to decide if i should attend stony next year. I know academically the school is good espeically for science and stuff. but i was wondering about the social aspects of stony. i know it is a big communter school and the weekends are pretty boring. but are there like parties and stuff? what is the social life likee?</p>
<p>You have probably heard it before, but it really does depend on who you know… There really are parties every weekend and throughout the week, you just have to try and meet enough people so you have connections haha</p>
<p>thats good to know that theres always a party lol…what about the surrouding area of stony brook i know when i visited its like almost in the middle of nowhere lmaoo is there like shopping stuff to do outside campus that close to get to</p>
<p>Well, there’s the mall, target, best buy, and stores like that that the mall run bus will take you to for free on the weekends. Nothing too crazy/exciting. There is a lot of stuff going on on campus, but you have to look out for it since it doesn’t seem like there is too much advertising for the events.</p>
<p>there’s a mall (smith haven mall) really close by with alot of good stores. people that stay on campus on the weekend go there…</p>
<p>there’s a party every day starting thursday and ending on the weekend. and it’s not even that you need connections to get into parties. people will just randomly see you walking int their building and invite you.</p>
