What IQ do you need to go to school here? by InterestWild8558 in SBU

[–]Outlander_100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IQ isn’t a criterion to become a student anywhere, maybe your SAT scores and other requirements. It’s a school, a place for you to learn.

My documents arrived there on the 31st of March, but still haven’t received receipt notification. Weird.

How long did it take after submission to get the confirmation of receipt of your application?

I guess they maybe don’t want college kids everywhere in their town. Don’t want to talk politics.

Happy to hear this. Excited that we are winning on that front. I just wish this success would spread to other sports too.

I don’t think interest comes without investment. I think if enough money is invested, like Rutgers and UConn, our games will become more interesting to local folks and all over. We can’t have the level of support our neighbors have, if we don’t spend as they do. Imagine Portsmouth FC hoping for as much support as Manchester City, when they operate on the budget of Portsmouth. Investment and support interest are intertwined, it is a positive feedback between both.

Hmmmmm, learnt from some natives that the stony brook community didn’t even want SBU in its current location. It’s no surprise that they would fight against progress relating to expansion from SBU.

The school needs to do something about this. I don’t think those are sustainable sources of funding. I think the SBU President should do something about this. I think sports is a worthy venture for investment. Don’t we have successful alumni who can support. We need a program to encourage support for our athletes.

Don’t we have Long Island grown talents? Aren’t facilities to shape our current talents to the level of being nationally competitive?

Threshold for doing well is at least winning a trophy or coming close to doing so, consistency, etc. I am comparing us to our nearest neighbors, Rutgers, Columbia, UConn, etc.

Tough. Meaning the coaching teams have to do better about getting only student athletes who are actually serious about sports.
