It is as good as any Ivy League school.

In case you didn't know, Stony Brook is quite a prestigious and respected school.

Zz.
 
Thanks ZapperZ.
 
hey Totalderiv, I had no idea you belonged to PF too. I go as mjbarney in the CC forums and happened to notice this post about Stony Brook haha.

I just got accepted into Stony Brook and plan on majoring in physics so I'm glad to hear that its a very respected school with a good program. I'm personally excited to be meeting Peter van Nieuwenhuizen there!
 
Haha that's really weird that you're on here too. Congratulations on the acceptance.
 
haha thanks. Is Stony Brook your top choice for next year?
 
Yeah
 
cool. I wish you luck getting accepted even though I'm sure you won't have a problem. Who knows, maybe we'll meet each other on campus in two years haha.
 
Haha thanks
