“The school is extremelyQuite BrightBiology
The school is extremely diverse. The school work is very challenging, and a lot of research opportunities are available for students. However, there is a lack of social life, and too many cliques among different ethnic groups which takes away from the extreme diversity.

“Within their major departments,Quite Bright
Within their major departments, students can almost always expect to be treated like human beings. As far as administration is concerned, you are merely a number. If you aren't studying a hard science, you are a number of extraordinarily low priority.

“The only thing good I can say aboutBrightEconomics
The only thing good I can say about this school is that its cheap, but you get what you paid for. Teachers suck, they speak horrible english and on top of that they hire TA's who are even worse. Stony is a research school, most professors have no experience teaching and it shows. There is no social life or parties on campus except a few people crammed in a room drinking. The is nothing in the small town next to the campus. I have yet to talk to any person who actually enjoys this school. The only reason you should apply is if you live on long island and can't afford to go to a decent school.
