Stony Brook University

On May 7, 2012 my Rensizzle group visited Stony Brook University located in Long Island. From the school we took the train to 61st and then we took the Long Island Rail Road to get to University. The trip there was fun because the LIRR was very comfortable and it only took an hour and a half to get there, not so bad. When we arrived we took a 10 minute walk to the University because it was very close to the LIRR, which was really great. On our self- guided tour we visited the Stony Brook Library, the Stony Brook Medical Center, the Student Union, the Office of Admissions, the Student Activity Center and the Bookstore. In addition we passed by the Physics and geometry center, the Chemistry building, the College of Business, the Earth and Space Science building, the Psychology building, the Computer Science building, the Life Sciences building and the dorms. During our visited I noticed that most buildings had many windows which help bring the light from outside in. Stony Brook seem a very environmental friendly school, because it had a lot of trees, a lake, solar panels on a crossing pole and it even has a vegetable garden. But best of all the school was very diverse which I liked a lot. What I found very interesting about the University was that they made many crazy and interesting discoveries. Stony Brook also had an amazing medical center with a science program that interested me a lot. Some things that I will suggest the University to have is more maps and safety buttons around, in case of danger. But overall the visit was great and I had lots of fun. Although on our way back we were very close to not catching the bus because we were running late.
