Dislikes:

  • As they have given too many admissions getting to choose one like has been really difficult, finding part time is really difficult. I don't know why they hesitate to give offer letter." .

Campus Life

Part time is really difficult to find over here, for extracurricular there will be events going on like any other university but depends on the interest of individual. As a badminton fan they don't have a separate court for badminton and also I have to pay $30 per month to access the gym which is kind of sad. I really like the classes and Libraries, one of the library is open 24 hours and also study lounges are so many over here and they are really good. Wifi is really good never had a problem with it for more than 10 min. This university is best for people who want to research as they have a lot of funding for research projects (I am not 100% sure of this)

I live on campus in a 3BHK apartment which is like 15 min walk to the main campus and the campus shuttles will run most of the working time. $700 rent includes all utilities even laundry, also they clean the house once per week maybe $100 for groceries (per month)

Dislikes:

  • The only thing I dislike about my university is their assumptions regarding us knowing many things. Some professors tend to skip some foundational things by saying that they assume that we have already learnt this stuff in our bachelor's and hence we know it. But this is not true. All the students tend to come from diverse colleges with a diverse curriculum. null
  • So, assuming that we know some topics beforehand and skipping them proves to be a hindrance while studying some advanced topics in the course. So here, self-studying plays a pivotal role because students must self-study many essential topics before jumping to the advanced things taught in the class. Apart from this, there is severe competition for everything here, ranging from course selections to on-campus jobs and housing selection. This can be stressful at times. So, apart from these two things, there is nothing that I dislike about my university. null

Campus Life

Throughout the year, the university offers a wide range of activities and events. The research facilities are cutting-edge, and the libraries have extensive resources. High-speed Wi-Fi connectivity is readily available, and the institution provides excellent sports facilities. Additionally, numerous student clubs cater to a variety of interests, ensuring there is something for everyone within the university community.

In the context of on-campus housing, I currently reside in a double-sharing single-bedroom apartment, for which I am charged a monthly rental fee of $970. There is also the option to select a double-sharing double-bedroom apartment, which entails a monthly rental cost of $770 per person. It should be noted that all these rental fees are quoted on a per-person, per-month basis. Additionally, the university provides a free bus system for students residing in on-campus housing. Alternatively, one has the opportunity to explore more cost-effective accommodations off-campus. However, in such cases, individuals may be required to make their own transportation arrangements.

There are 3 major residential areas namely West, Schomburg, and Chapin in decreasing order of rent. Chapin is the cheapest and all Indians prefer living in Chapin. The rent ranges from $600 to $1500 depending on the type of room you choose. For a 2 bedroom 4 people apartment the rent is around $700 including all facilities. For family housing i.e 1 bedroom apartment, the rent is around $1200 to $1400. The rooms are well furnished. Every week the people of the residence come for cleaning.

Huge campus, the fact that it's a state university, lower tuition fees, the flexibility of selection of subjects for graduating, project/thesis option, the fact that everybody completes their masters in 1.5 years instead of 2 years, good placements with amazon being the mass recruiter, good quality research, good reputation, lower living expenses, lower rent for on-campus housing, many facilities, free university transportation, etc.

I stayed in graduate apartments provided by the university. It was filled with Indian students predominantly, Luckily my room was a bit more diverse with American and Chinese and I got to interact with someone from a different background than where I came from.

Stony Brook was among the top 40 schools for computer science and one of the most economical schools as well. They are really famous for their systems-related courses as well as cutting-edge technologies like Data Science, Computer Vision and Machine Learning.

My university offers great on-campus housing. It is safe and secure along with a cleaning service. During COVID times when all universities were shutting down their campuses, Stony Brook went above and beyond by providing all international students with low-density quarantine housing. The University went so far as to provide free food to all the students. I think this shows how student-friendly the university policies are.

Good ranking for Computer Vision and Excellent campus facilities. Low cost and therefore high return on investments. Great placement opportunities for jobs and internships.
