<p>I will starting my first semester at SB this fall.Will I be able to find a lot of creative interesting people to befriend at Stony Brook? I have heard that most people here tend to keep to themselves and study a lot but I'm sure that can't be the whole school.</p>
<p>You will be fine. It’s great to have a hobby or interest through which you can meet others easily.</p>
<p>Yeah its easy to meet ppl once your i n a group. U should join the rugby team its a lot of fun</p>
<p>Stony Brook really exhibits a WIDE diversity in terms of the types of people here. To answer your question…yes. I’ve met many amiable people here who are easy to get along with. The only problem is…finding them. I say FINDING them because I have to say, there are far more people who are into being only with cliques. Then there are those who are clearly desperate for friends because they themselves aren’t really pleasant to be around so they go around scourging for phone numbers so hopefully maybe 1 out of the 100 people’s #'s they take down will hang out with them. There’s a lot of both good and bad in terms of social/open people here. If you make the effort, you’re most likely to find chill people. If you’re going to be in your room all day and are hoping to meet people through classes only, have fun because you probably aren’t.</p>
