There are many opportunities at Stony Brook University, especially for anyone looking to work in healthcare, as the hospital is right across from the main campus. Some of the classes can be challenging, but it feels rewarding to succeed. Their computer science program is good as well, albeit difficult to get into. I liked that it was close to home and more affordable than some of the other schools I was looking at.
However, one of the downsides is that SBU is a very big school. There weren’t really any personal advisors to work with through the years, so you’d have to reach out to one in your program yourself each time.
