  • Hi everyone!! My name is Amy and I'm a biology major student at Stony Brook University. I tried to capture most of the walking because I wanted to give people a view of the campus. Unfortunately, my second semester was cut short due to the corona virus. Filmed this before we were all kicked out of our dorms :( Hope you guys enjoyed this video! If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments below. I’ll try to answer them to the best of my ability.

    Great job. Just showed this to my middle school students, I graduated from SBU in 2007. My students loved watching it and now they all want to go to Stony Brook. They were really impressed by the food, lol.

    I graduated from Stony in Dec 2018 (way before Covid started) I may return to Stony one day to do a grad program. thanks though it was nice to see Stony from another student's perspective. I wish you luck in your upcoming semesters at Stony.

    So nostalgic. I graduated from Stony many moons ago. H Quad for 2 years, and Roth Quad for last 2. Rarely ventured to Kelly but had some friends there. People on the first floor used to love leaving those balcony doors unlocked, and there would constantly be people climbing in and stealing things back then.

      @amydong1201  ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends on where you dorm but it’s not a long walk (~10-15 minutes from Kelly to SAC). There are also buses on campus that makes the commute way faster too.

      I kinda like the peacefulness of it, and it isn't really the middle of nowhere lol. You're still 1.5-2 hours from Manhattan by train. Also there's tons of free events going on, you just have to look on the app they have for it. Really, for what you pay, it's a pretty good value compared to many other schools.
