Stony Brook is cheap, and you get what you pay for. If price is your primary concern, it's not a terrible choice. Most of the instructors are overworked and underpaid, and they teach like it. A large part of the faculty doesn't speak English. You become lost in the "machine". The architecture is poured slab concrete from the 1970's, similar to the designs used for the prisons of New York State.

Many classes are unusually large, something out of "1984" with 200+ students in some lectures. It's not the safest, being in a suburb of New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, and Bronx. Inner city kids. There are many great private colleges in and around New York City which offer a better campus life, a better social atmosphere, and an equivalent or better eduation.
