scneuro said:Hey, I just found out that I was accepted today and I'm totally psyched. I haven't decided if I'm definitely going to Stony Brook but I'm definitely considering it. I'm hoping to make a second visit out there
What about you Tifa, def. going to Stony Brook?
OHMAN0125 said:THere was an old StonyBrook Official thread but i think ppl stopped posting. I think you should both come to SB if you're NYS residents. You won't get a better education for the tuition.
samkatyac said:Yeah, the first day of orientation is 8/21 with classes starting the next Monday 8/28. Pre-orientation is June 16, and I'm looking forward to the "Stony Brook Revisited" on April 28. I got an e-mail about all of this a couple of weeks ago. I look forward to meeting you guys! Yay Stony Brook!
So are you two definitely going to Stony brook?? What are you thinking about in terms of housing? I know the pre-orientation is supposed to be a chance to learn more about housing, but I feel like that's sooooooooo far away. And isn't orientation starting kind of late?Clocks said:Yeah, I'm sure we'll find out more in due time.

samkatyac said:So I just got the e-mail with more info about the Revisit, don't see anything in there about a dress code though . Not much info in it really other than when and where, I thought there might be an itinierary of some sort. Well, I'm still going, I'm sure we'll find out all we need to. By the way, has anyone gotten any financial aid info yet? I haven't gotten anything.
scneuro said:And I'm officially going to Stony Brook!!!
scneuro said:Nothing yet, but I heard we're supposed to be receiving a packet about health forms and what not in the next week or so. It's supposed to be mailed out the first week in April (I called the office to see if it was sent yet.)
Not sure if I'll make it for revisit, but I'll definitely be at pre-orientation in June. And I'm officially going to Stony Brook!!!
samkatyac said:I actually just got the new Apple MacBook Pro as an early graduation present. I've been a Mac user all through college, I don't think I could stand going back to a PC. I think it came up during the tour at my interview, but I'm pretty sure one of the current students said that Macs are okay to use (they better be!). Nobody else remembers anything to the contrary, do you?
scneuro said:Did you guys receive a packet from Stony Brook lately? Supposedly it had hte health forms and info. about finanacial aid and that we need to send final transcripts. Is anything else in it? It got sent home to my parents and my mom opened it and said it didn't have anything that looked too interesting, but i was wondering if she missed something. Was there anything about computers or anything?
Thanks!

scneuro said:I don't know but I think it's a great idea and I'm looking forward to taking it. LowlyPremed are you definitely coming to Stony Brook or still deciding and if so between who?
scneuro said:WELCOME!!!! It's nice to have another future classmate to talk to
LowlyPremed said:Thanks! Does that mean you've decided?
LowlyPremed said:This is going to be great. I'm really excited. Just think, in a few months, we'll be med students. I will start looking for apartments at the end of May. Hopefully I'll meet some potential roomates at the second look weekend.
scneuro said:Does anyone know the area? Are there certain towns/areas that you should stay away from when looking to rent? I don't want to be living by some undergrads that are goign to party every night and I don't want to have to worry about parking. I'm not going to second look at the end of this month, but i'll be at pre-orientation in june.
Appreciate it in advanceLowlyPremed said:I'll ask about this stuff for you (and myself) at the second look and I will post thereafter.
samkatyac said:I think that a lot of the med students live in Port Jefferson, which is really close and has a lot of apartment complexes. The town is right on the water too and that's where the ferry to Bridgeport docks. I really doubt any undergrads live out there, at least not enough to notice any partying at least. I'm living on campus first year (I'm lazy right now, don't feel like looking), but I've been looking at the apartments in Port Jeff for second year.
LowlyPremed said:What's the on campus housing like? I tried looking through the website but I couldn't find anyting. I kept getting sent to a different page that has information for undergrad. Is it dorm style or are there apartments? If you have a site where you found this info, please post it. Thanks.
samkatyac said:I'm mainly going by the info that they sent us about on-campus housing a couple of months ago. It's definitely apartment housing, not dorms, but I'm sure they're far from luxury. This website has the info about the apartment complexes they have on campus:
http://www.studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/res/apartment
It's the same housing for med students, grad students, and some junior and senior undergrads, but grad students will only be housed with other grad students. I believe that the West apartments are just undergrads, and the Chapin and Schomburg apartments are for grads. From the housing info we got, it seems that in Chapin if you're a single student you will either share a bedroom with one other student in a three bedroom or you get your own room in a four bedroom. If you get Schomburg you get your own room in a four bedroom. If you go to this website,
http://studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/virtualtour/
And click on the Chapin links at the top, you get a virtual tour and some pics of the apartments (like I said, far from luxury). It's only for one year though and it just makes the most sense for the situation I'm in, I'd rather live on campus one year and then find a place to live for the next three (the thought of not having to move for three years straight gets me really excited!). I hope all this helps!
ashabee4 said:Hello all,
I am not 100% sure if I'm coming to SB yet, so I'm planning to attend 2nd look weekend. One question: do students typically come to 2nd look weekend alone? I've already attended one other 2nd look weekend, and family/significant others were more than welcome. However, when I e-mailed admissions, whoever responded said that people typically come alone, although some come with others. I would rather not make this 10 hour car trip alone. What do you all think? I feel like I could make a better judgement if I had some idea of the schedule of events for the day.
Anyway, looking forward to perhaps meeting some of you!

Clocks said:I hope I'm not too annoying on Friday!
I'm antsy and really want to get started (I've taken what some may consider a LIGHT courseload this semester). My mind is just all over the place right now.
