A Day in the Life of a College Student | Stony Brook University

[@pric4799]

This was helpful, thanks! I’m considering applying to Stony Brook next year, so it was cool seeing a student perspective!

[@amydong1201]

Priyanka C You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful 😊

[@bryanzen300]

Going to Stony in the fall, lets hope that it isn't online lol

[@dianaetienne2010]

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.

[@nybiggs]

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.

This is honestly a really great video, can’t wait to become a seawolf

This was so helpful thank you! I was accepted into SOMAS I'm going to study Oceanic and Atmospheric sciences. I was skeptical at first and wasn't sure i'd like the campus but this was really helpful thank you!!

[@frankmiranda707]

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.

[@emilyliu185]

Thanks for this video! It brought me so many memories from my time there in 2011 😍 stacks was my favorite study place too!

[@JanMan37]

Graduated from SBU in 2019. Brings back memories.

[@kv0331]

Hey , I applied to Stony Brook University and I am currently waiting to see if I get accepted. Thanks for the video 😊 You should make more videos like this when it’s possible.

[@coralineluverr]

[@tlighta1]

Doesn't the Health Sciences Center have another level of those squares built on it now?

[@enricomanaog1561]

Could u make a video on your stats and grades that got u into SBU?

[@mashiatislam2036]

hey was it hard to get into? I don't wanna sit for SATs man. I wanna apply 2025 fall

[@mahimakaranth2499]

Nice vlog! My sister got into stony brook and she's attending next fall :-) so sorry about coronavirus, but the situation in long island is better now! hopefully you all can return to the campus by fall :/

[@jop7672]

Do students have time for fun? What are easy access fun/ mental health break ideas

[@amydong1201]

Yep! There are plenty of events on campus and you can find them all on the corq app :)

[@warsmith1294]

5:48 Is that Schoology I see on that laptop?

[@crazycrafting7464]

Hey I’m considering going to stony and will be majoring in bio! How hard are the classes on a scale from 1-10

[@amydong1201]

Crazycrafting I’ll say it’s about a 7. But right now my bio 202 professor is giving us harder quizzes because of the potential cheating after classes are held online. So I don’t really know how hard it is normally

[@crazycrafting7464]

Amy Dong okayy tysm!!

[@RobDeMann]

hey amy, what camera did you use to film this? The quality is very good

[@amydong1201]

g7x mark II

[@dreamy4174]

How much is the fee of masters in cs?+ Rent+food

[@mariindigo3110]

Do freshmans have to share a community bathroom or does each room have their own bathroom ?

[@amydong1201]

Mari indigo It depends on whether you’re placed in a suite style or corridor style quad. You’ll have the opportunity to rank your choices and it’ll be up to chance which one you’re assigned.

[@mariindigo3110]

Ok do all buildings have a suite style or is it just specific building names

[@amydong1201]

Mari indigo Just specific building names

[@lifeofjoanne]

SBU alumni here🙋🏻‍♀️ majored in Biology too! Gosh I miss the campus😭

[@immunescavenger6104]

Is the biology program good there ? I'm thinking of applying for a Master degree.

[@dalianab6781]

how much walking would you say there is from class to class or dorm to class or to dining halls?

[@amydong1201]

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.

[@sgrfunny]

this is really helpful! thank you!!

[@amydong1201]

I'm so glad! You're welcome

[@Shiroyamon]

excuse me,I wanna transfer to stony brook from community college.Then,please tell me minimum score of GPA

[@supercat2087]

93 or above average in high school, that’s what my counselor told me today!!

[@eliasziad7864]

Stony Brook or Syracuse?

[@brtnee2856]

Your video was super nice! Thoughts on your dorm? I’m currently a freshmen in James and I honestly want a suite style room next year so I’m wondering if you liked your dorm.

[@amydong1201]

Kelly has a lot of bugs because of all the trees outside unfortunately 😕 Maybe would be wiser to aim for Roth instead

[@jennifersherpa]

How are classes like? For example, how many classes a week & til what time? Could you give me an estimate. Thanks!

[@amydong1201]

Jennifer Sherpa It really depends on how you set up your schedule but there’s like about 2-3 classes per day (sometimes 4). The earliest classes are at 8:30am in the morning and the latest could be 7-8pm I believe.

[@lesliecruz9320]

hey how do u even make a reservation at the gym? is there a link or something ?

[@amydong1201]

Not sure bc I haven’t been making reservations to go to the gym. You’re able to just go straight in as long as you have the RecOnTheGo app. Is that what you’re talking about?

[@lesliecruz9320]

@@amydong1201 I called and there are walk-ins. last semester it was reservations only, thank youu😭

[@bromine4570]

lmfao i got waitlisted at stony, im going to bing.

Hi , Amy. May I know are you an international student? What entry requirements do you use for admission? Thanks

Sorry :( I’m not an international student

thank you for the vlog!! I'd also like to see more insider tips if that's ok ◡̈

[@edgarfamily247]

What is the study and work/free time balance?

[@amydong1201]

Hard to give an answer because it really depends on your own workload and how you manage that time

[@mariwalsh495]

Is it hard to get adjusted with the size of the campus? How long does it take for you to know your way around well?

[@amydong1201]

It’s actually not as intimidating as it sounds once you get used to where everything is. It took me about 2-3 days to feel comfortable walking from my dorm to where my classes are. On your free time you can always explore the campus with your friends :)

[@yailinhernandez3562]

what is dorming like freshman year? are there any requirements for freshman?

[@amydong1201]

Yailin Hernandez Not really but there are rooms that are specifically reserved for freshman

[@I.am.His.007]

wait so there aren't community bathroom?

[@amydong1201]

There are community bathrooms. It’s just that I live in a suite so we have our own.

[@I.am.His.007]

@@amydong1201 what year are you? Also how do you get into a suite

[@amydong1201]

Dance page DD KAZZI I’m a freshman. To increase your chances of being placed into a suite, you can just rank the suite style quads as your highest options when you are asked to choose.

If it’s okay, can I speak to that person please? I just have a few questions regarding pre-nursing.

[@eshw23]

Literally the most boring school on the planet, in the middle of nowhere. It just has stellar education programs. But everyone I talked to that said they go there said they hated it.

[@bmv0746]

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.
