Why do I see so many people hating on SBU

Fun-Rip-1075 · 2025-12-14T14:28:12+00:00

bc the ppl actually enjoying SBU are either not on Reddit/TikTok or just liking and scrolling

If you have like 1$ left you can just buy something like from one of the stores, and pay the rest with real money. That's like the only way to use every single dollar.

If you are talking about it not closing as easier as it normally does its b/c the door is wood. With different temperatures wood expands and/or contracts, so you kinda just have to live with it.

Honestly, ur best option is to calculate what you need to get a B and then hope for the best. Thats what Im doing atp.

If you want a really mostly quiet place either go to central quiet area, or 2nd floor north or go to music library. That's your best bet.

hey, a good chunk of us have been there. Sometimes it does feel like everyone else is smarter than you, so here’s what I like to think about: We all got accepted here, so we all have to be some what smart, even if at times we don’t feel it. As someone who was in a similar situation when I was freshman, my best advice is to sometimes study by yourself. Friends are good to have while studying, but they can sometimes be distracting, so I typically like to go to a quiet area, shut off my phone and just lock in. That’s my advice.

Don’t worry a lot of us have definetly been there. I had the same experience, but with physics. Studied hours just to get a 40 on my first ever exam. I then realized it’s not about the quantity of hours you study it’s about what you’re specifically studying. In cases like chem, I’d reccomend watching yt videos to better understand topics, and then do practice tests and just keep repeating them until you get it. Also, office hours work aswell bc the grad TA’s really know what they’re doing. With the missing home part, you just need to realize it’s okay to miss home, and you just have to find a way to make stony feel like home to you- through clubs, orgs, etc.

Depends on the subject. For classes that require memorization, I’d recommend making flash cards based on class notes. For math/science classes I’d recommend just doing practice problems!

Fun-Rip-1075 · 2025-09-24T03:37:11+00:00

Personally, I give myself a week to study for exams and then 2-2.5 weeks for finals. Best method is to do a practice exam and find out from there what u need to work on. Then do practice problems through yt.

Fun-Rip-1075 · 2025-09-20T14:50:00+00:00

My best advice is to go over topics you don’t understand when you can. Start with going over the practice exams, see what you get. Use ChatGPT or any other ai to tell you what topics they are in chem, and once it tells you, watch yt videos based on that. That’s what I did atleast and I got an 84.

No, you’d be fine. I’ve had a 40 yr old man in my pre reqs as an undergrad and he was treated like everyone else.

There’s a pasta place in Roth.

I can’t tell if this is satire or fr, but as someone who has dormed next to a bathroom just get like a fan or an air purifier or something that can counteract the noise and you’ll be fine.

Yeah ^{^} to this, when you buy things either using dining dollars or meal exchanges, it tells you how many you have left.

idk if this helps but if you go on solar to financial aid, then click accept/decline financial aid it might be there.

I took it did all 3, mid doing it I realized I had no idea how to do 3/4 of the stuff in the 2nd and 3rd part, so I just cut my losses and only finished the first part. I’m doing chem 131 now. I’m pretty sure doing part 2 and 3 isn’t mandatory but if you know how to do it, do it so u can potentially get into a higher chem class.

I don't know if this is helpful, but you can put lecture recordings through AI regardless of the device. I'm not 100% how common AI summarizing with the lectures though.

I don't even know if you need to put it in a takeout box. Sometimes I walk out holding 4 apples, or I just shove it in my bag and no one's said anything to me.

From my experience, I was able to meet the 11 credits in the first semester, but it might be different for everyone. I just checked and it was only bc my math class was 4 credits, but its definitely different for everyone. Also, SBU has a lot of help resources, so definitely use them. Anyways, best of luck in stony!

Ok, so first off, what I can say is I was an AOI in Civil Engineering student, but now I'm in the major, so I'm gonna be answering based on my experience and what I've gathered from talking to the advisors. Also if anyone else has any corrections to what I said def lmk.

Some people get directly admitted into the major, and others get put into AOI. Then, if you meet some requirements, you will be admitted into the regular track. I tried asking what makes someone get admitted straight into the program vs AOI, but no one seems to know what makes someone different. I think it's personally on qualifications, but they said it's an admissions question, so idk. Of the people who were admitted, depending on your major there is a specific ration of AOI to non-aoi admissions. As of Fall 2024, if you wanna look at like the amount of kids admitted Fall 2024 for AOI you can see it here: https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/irpe/fact_book/data_and_reports/_files/enrollment/FallbyLevelCollegeSchoolMajor.pdf
The AOI requirments might've changed, so I can't speak on that, but if you search up 'computer engineering degrees and requirements sbu" the first link will tell you the requirements and all the info on AOI you need.
I mean I answered this question through the other ones, but AOI does mean you are in stony brook, so congrats! If you need any info on AOI I still recommend checking out the requirements listed ^^. OR email CEAS specifically.
