I think the school really should highlight their academic
profile more especially in the NY Metro Area. We are a steal
financially .

> This year we received almost 35,000 applications for 2,900
places — we are now the seventh most selective public university
among our 62 American Association of Universities (AAU) peers.
>
> And thanks to Stony Brook’s return on investment, top-notch
research facilities and star faculty, we continue to be
recognized for our outstanding academic programs and
affordability — including, most recently, as a “best- buy”
school in Fiske Guide to Colleges 2017.
>
> The heart of every campus is its library, and by the end of
this summer we’ll have completed a multimillion-dollar
renovation — supported in part by the Stony Brook Foundation —
that will transform the Reading Rooms into “Knowledge Commons.”
With technology improvements, modern furniture and creatively
designed collaboration spaces, our library will be a haven for
quiet study or group learning
>
> Undergoing similar transformation is the outdated image of
Stony Brook as a commuter school. With the addition of our new
$168.6 million, 759-room Toll Drive residence halls with
integrated dining facilities, we now have more than 10,300
oncampus beds, more than any in the entire SUNY system — a
necessity given that our student population has swelled to a
record 25,272.
>
> As Long Island’s largest single-site employer, and with
faculty who have 312 inventions and 580 U.S. patents to their
name, Stony Brook provides full- or parttime jobs to more than
14,000 New Yorkers, with a direct economic impact of $4.65
billion. And this impact is felt across the region — Stony Brook
is effectively responsible for generating 60,000 jobs, or 7.5
percent of the employment in Suffolk County.
>
> To complement these efforts, funding is in place for two new
buildings in our Research and Discovery Park: a $60 million,
200,000-square-foot Innovation and Discovery Center to act as a
“mezzanine structure” to promote the growth of startup
businesses and to allow Stony Brook incubator companies to step
up to the next level, and a $75 million Institute for Discovery
and Innovation in Medicine & Engineering (I-DIME). This
institute will link Stony Brook’s strength in advanced data
analytics with pioneering research to solve the vexing problems
of today and of the future.
>
> We were also able to increase our four-year graduation rate to
51 percent, grow financial aid, add 19 new academic programs and
reduce the faculty/student ratio from 28:1 to 17:1.
>
> Most important, Stony Brook continued to maintain one of the
lowest tuitions of the AAU — reflected in the fact that 40
percent of Stony Brook students graduate with no debt and the
average debt of those who borrow is $2,500 below the national
average.

assumptions.

> Stony Brook University is one of 64 schools in the State
University of New York (SUNY) system. Located on the North Shore
of Long Island, the university is accessible by car, train and
ferry, and many students choose to commute. Freshmen do not have
to live on campus. Academic activity pauses each Wednesday from
1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for Campus Life Time, when students can
check out free concerts, sample free food and take a break from
the rigor of classes. Annually, students gather for events like
the Roth Pond Regatta, a race of student-made cardboard boats,
and the Shirley Strum Kenny Student Arts Festival, a week of
student work showcases. Students can also check out more than
300 student organizations on campus, including more than 30
fraternities and sororities. On the athletic fields, the Stony
Brook Seawolves compete in the NCAA Division I America East
Conference. For a workout off the field, students can bike and
hike around Stony Brook’s large, wooded campus, which includes
the Ashley Schiff Park Preserve. For an urban experience, New
York City is about 60 miles away.
