- Course curriculum
- World class faculty, education from USA gives you immense opportunity to learn from the top notch professors (some of them are even the ones we read books of)
- If you are interested in research, the lab and university infrastructure provides you all.
Dislikes
- Some of the on campus housing at stony brook is not exactly near the campus it almost 15 mins drive.
- Cant get on campus jobs easily
- Most of the TA/RA positions are unpaid
- I networked with people from stony brook and got to know that on-campus housing is the best because of its own perks, but they vary from university to university. So talk to people who are already staying there.
- On-campus housing is difficult to get, as many people are in line to get it; it's on first come first serve basis so you need to be quick in decision-making.

- The college has a strong academic reputation
- It also has affordable tuition
- Plenty of research opportunities
Dislikes
- Limited campus life and social scene
- Weather conditions are unpredictable
- The public transportation limitations
- Stony Brook University provides on-campus housing through their college portal, which is easy to use and easy to access. The accommodation process is very competitive, as huge numbers of students try to compete in the applicant pool. One recommendation would be to go for rooms that are 3 BHK or 2 BHK, as they are the cheapest here.

- Low tution fee. Excellent alumni network and famous for systems courses in computer science. Newyork also being one of the factor.
- On campus Accomdation and clubs activities that keep you refreshed and not bored. Course work and curriculum. Good strength of alumni network. Infrastructure and facilities like bus for transportation and other facilities.
Dislikes
- Limited number of courses than other universities. And heavy competition for the courses to choose from. Slightly expensive room rent for accommodation.
Nice campus with all facilities and good course work laod. Eventful with students living in the same place. Accomodation is slightly expensive but a lot helpful.
Likes
- The mixed diversity, large campus, more clubs for extracurricular, and touch of home
- Especially the vibe and balance of life.Made more friends, did better academically because of the resources. I also like being more involved with extracurricular
Dislikes
- I think I just didnt like the competitiveness of it especially for international students especially with part time job on campus. Otherwise I dont have any complaints.
I really had a good time. It was really worth it and I dont regret transferring from university of vermont to stony brook university. Made more friends, did better academically because of the resources. Overall no complaints.

- The main factor would be the tuition over here is really less taking into account the reputation and quality of the academics. It suits well for my profile.
- I liked the diverse group of people I was able to meet over here, academics if you pick and choose your courses you can learn a lot, so many resources to study (Libraries and lounges)
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."
I would say it's good for the most part of it but that comes from a person who doesn't have any homesick and loves being here. One thing that's worrying is being without any job offer that will always be in the back of the head and haunts me. Leaving that everything else is good. There are some limitations but most part I got so many things to do I don't even get the time to try new stuff.

- I chose this college because of its reputation and high ROI. When moving to abroad, cost plays an essential role and it can sometimes be burdensome. Stony Brook University has one of the lowest tuition fees in United States and delivers exceptional quality of education. I particularly chose this program because I am interested in the fields of Machine Learning, Data Science and Software Development. Professors are experienced in their fields and publish in top-tier conferences and journals like CVPR and ICCV. These factors were more than enough for me to pursue my masters degree here.
- First of all, it is a beautiful, lush green campus far away from bustling cities. It provides you with a perfect setting to learn your interests and grow.
- Secondly, assignments here are relatable and will demand a lot of hard work. But if done fairly and without the use of AI, then I guarantee you that it will be all worth it.
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.
- 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.
My university experience has been incredibly rewarding so far. I've been exposed to new and exciting knowledge, thanks to supportive professors and a well-rounded curriculum, and I've had the chance to meet a diverse group of people, which has expanded my horizons and enhanced my personal growth.
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.
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.
Good ranking for Computer Vision and Excellent campus facilities. Low cost and therefore high return on investments. Great placement opportunities for jobs and internships.
