for those interested in student disaffection... directly from
the students:
Anyone know any good bars in the area during the week?
HTML http://www.reddit.com/r/SBU/comments/2kjep6/anyone_know_any_good_bars_in_the_area_during_the/
fact is kids want to meet others in college. and do some
drinking. that's normally done in the public realm (bars) or
privately (apts, houses, etc). exclude private for obvious
reasons. so the above question is raised and the answers are?
all miles away from campus. if we want to build school spirit
and athletic event attendance, the students have to be on campus
first for that to happen. how to keep them there? give them
something to do- something that normal college kids do- ones
that apply to SB and go elsewhere.
Quick Questions about SBU! Dorms, UGCs, Campus life etc. 4) How
are the parties? Nightlife? Campus/Dorm Atmosphere
HTML http://www.reddit.com/r/SBU/comments/2or7q3/quick_questions_about_sbu_dorms_ugcs_campus_life/
like it or not, this is what kids are asking on the web.
answers include sh---y compared to other schools; atmosphere is
really dreadful and depressing; etc.
Transferring in..maybe. How is campus life? Etc
etc.
HTML http://www.reddit.com/r/SBU/comments/2oq9n9/transferring_inmaybe/
some awful feedback about the food. worse about the condition
of the dorms and repairs. and then this: "living here is so
miserable that I wish I looked anywhere else." "nothing has
ever even reached the level of disgusting this place has".
"even most of those who live on campus go home on weekends, so
they're usually quite dead. For example, I've walked across
campus in the middle of a Saturday and not seen a single person
in 20 minutes. There are also fewer food selections on weekends
to compensate for this." "living here leaves much to be desired.
If I could choose, I would have gone somewhere else. That's how
unfortunate living here has been, and I have a group of
friends."

was poking around the hofstra threads... why? because despite
being a different university, they share a lot of the same
issues we do, with student disaffection.

read this post and the one after it. you can pump money into
facilities, grow the student body, build a nice campus, and even
hire a good coach who can bring in recruits.
but you'll still find disaffected students.
fairfield too- arguably another school that has much in common
with SB:

instructive, i think:

[quote]Stony Brook introduces Seawolves Town
LaValle Stadium parking lot to be transformed into Long Island's
premier game day experience

"Seawolves Town will feature music, interactive events and a
team walk before the game while fans will be able to reserve
their own space where they can bring in food and drinks. Our
priority is to create a big time college football atmosphere
where the energy and excitement around LaValle Stadium gets
everyone fired up to cheer on the Seawolves."[/quote]

similar to the math we did about attendance- some analysis on
how we intend to fill up LaValle and IFCU:
HTML http://brook.lan
d/2015/06/inside-the-mission-to-sell-out-every-home-game/
[quote]Because LaValle Stadium is built with future expansions
in mind, there are a lot of open spaces in which you can fit
many many more than 8,300 people. That�s how Stony Brook was
able to squeeze an extra 3,000 fans into the place last
September for Homecoming vs. William & Mary (official
attendance: 11,301). Last year�s home opener, a Thursday night
game, also led to a higher-than-occupancy crowd of 10,252.
All told, the official attendance figure last year was 42,629.
Six sellouts of 8,300 seats would have been 49,800. That works
out to an average attendance of 7,105 per game, or 86% capacity.
Suddenly the prospect of reaching 100% attendance doesn�t seem
so farfetched.
�Hold on a second,� you�re no doubt saying, �that doesn�t count!
Boosting attendance at some games to offset low attendance at
others isn�t the same thing as selling out every game!�[/quote]
