Is anyone who got an acceptance not from the area, and is planning to move on to campus or around the school?

I am thinking ? about it. Mainly, bc I don’t drive.

For those of us who were waitlisted... has anyone been told anything about their place on the list? as in what number they are? i’m so confused about it lol, how do we find out?

Pete1122 · Jan 11, 2020

So here is the waitlist info I received .. they will not send out a list or let you know where you are on the list. I was told to accept any offers I have received from other institutions because no spots are guaranteed. Also finish any outstanding requirements needed for SB. The waitlist will become active in May. We can expect a call at any time if a spot opens.
So I’m going to a different school that I was accepted to because I don’t want to wait.....good luck all

Hi everyone! I also got accepted into the program. Congratulations to those who did as well! I completed my first degree at Stony Brook last year, so if you have any questions about the school/area I can do my best to answer ?

@NurseHopeful2021 I’m from out of state and plan on moving to the area as well

Could anyone who has attended Stony Brook offer any information about student housing? Is there any on campus student apartments? Or off campus apartment complexes for students, or just areas in general where Stony Brook students tend to rent?

Hey everyone, I am meeting with a current ABSN student today so if anyone has questions about the program or curriculum timeline I would be happy to pass it along.I already confirmed that last year's orientation was on June 6th & 7th.

I work in the city. I am wondering if working would be a problem and I don't want to imagine how my commute would be. I am applying to jobs that have 12hr shifts, which I think that would allow me to have more time to study than eight-hour shifts.

Same here. This would make housing cheaper. But, clinicals would be an issue bc you would need to drive there.

Anyone that was rejected or waitlisted now going to Binghamton??

Unfortunately, I have to work in order to get tuition reimbursement.

There are on-campus dorms and apartments, but they will most likely be on Stony Brook's main campus. You can walk to the Health Science Center or take the bus from main campus housing. A lot of people also live off-campus. There are apartments you can rent that are fairly close, but you can also rent houses with other people/students, which is definitely cheaper. I've seen people rent in Stony Brook, Lake Grove, Port Jeff, Selden, Coram, Setauket etc.
