Ups
and downs. For science and engineering, Stony Brook is pretty
highly regarded, so it's worth considering just for that. Faculty
are across the board - most of them are nice
enough actually, if you go to office hours, but a
lot are just not good teachers. I had one instructor
this past semester who spent as much time going off
about Pink Floyd and random stuff he liked as he
did talking about the class material, so much that about
3 weeks of lecture subjects were taken off the syllabus
and it was still one of the hardest classes I
ever had. Socially it's got a LOT of room
for improvement. The campus is pretty diverse, but everyone keeps
to their own groups - one guy in my apartment
last year was Chinese and absolutely refused to speak to
the other white and black guys in the apartment. People
stick to their own groups and to themselves for the
most part, and like 55% of students are commuters, and
most of the rest live somewhere on Long Island or
in NYC, so it's not a very active campus, since
most of the residents who live in the area have
learned this already and just go home weekends. Other students
in my department are hostile and arrogant too, but this
might just be a Computer Science thing. It's good
education-wise, but otherwise I'd look elsewhere.
