Being a border in the stonybrook school is super relaxing, you can enjoy the sweet community in dorm. Since I'm an international student, it's easy for me to miss my family, and my home, however, the stonybrook school provided a close dorm community for us to connect each other.

School does not get students ready for college admissions and some teachers are not qualified to teach what they are teaching and they are biased. Sports are mainly aimed at people who are already good at the sport. Food is really good.
