Stony Brook?

Applying to College
1

<p>I've been wanting to attend Stony Brook for a while now, but I've been reading some responses made by alumni, and they're extremely negative.</p>

<p>Now I'm unsure on whether I should attend there, or go somewhere else.</p>

<p>What are the pros and cons of Stony Brook?</p>

<p>I plan on majoring in Chemistry, and at the same time, fulfill the requirements for pre-med.
*I've been told Stony Brook is a great school when it comes to sciences; is this true? Or is Binghamton better?</p>

<p>Tons of SB students have posted negative reviews, but I noticed some are from 2008 and 2009, so I'm hoping they've improved?</p>

<p>Stony Brook is supposed to be a "commuter school". This doesn't really bother me; so you can leave that out of the cons list....</p>

<p>Also, to those who have attended Stony Brook; are the professors good? I read that most don't care about their students. How true is that?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Visit and tour the school for yourself. Sit in on a couple of the intro Science classes.
Plan an overnight visit on campus during the weekend (see if the admission’s office can help to arrange for you to stay with a current student).</p>
