    Stony Brook is great for the amount of money it costs. If you work hard, you'll get an amazing education. If you make the right friends, you'll have fun. If you numb your taste buds, you won't starve! All-in-all, it's what you make of the experience.

    I don't think it's possible to go anywhere else and get the same education for the cost of tuition. The teacher's are mostly good, the library database is perfect for research projects, and the school is constantly improving upon itself.

    Considering the price for Stony Brook, you get a lot out of it if you try to find something. Some people complain about being depressed or being bored but there is so much you can do here, you just have to find it. As for education, you're getting your money's worth if you work for it. If you ask for help, you should be able to find it.

    If your lazy to walk around campus I suggest you bring a bike or a skateboard/longboard. It makes getting around campus quicker than waiting for the convenient bus.
