What are your general comments?
Seemed like a nice school. Pretty area. The students all seemed pretty happy with having chosen Stony Brook. I had an afternoon interview, so I got there about 11:30 and talked to other applicants and a ton of students who dropped in to chat for a while. We had a tour after lunch, and then one of the Deans of Admissions gave us an overview of the process. Interviews happened at the end of the day for me.
