The 50 Ugliest College Campuses
7. SUNY Stony Brook
SUNY Stony Brook has been criticized for years, even being named "neo-penal" for its "prison" aesthetic. The campus attempted to shed its bad rap by erecting new buildings like the space age campus recreation center and the Charles P. Wang Center. With these changes, the campus today has an oddly futuristic look, which stands in strange juxtaposition with the rest of the old 1960s buildings, especially the University Hospital.
there's obviously some questionable ones in there. we've come a long way the past 7 years. not sure we'll fix this anytime soon with the budget constraints that were already tight, pre-pandemic.
I think these guys just copy pasted an old list tbh. Because there is no way that Stony Brook U can be considered a top-50 ugly college.
For me the campus is quiet beautiful and green during my 2007-12 years. and if you go today in 2020 it really looks amazing. Sure, there are a few old buildings... but there are far more that are new and in good style. And with the renovation/overhauls of Old Chem, Union and Humanities over the years it looks even better. And if you add the Rec center, new comp sci, hotel, new residence halls, etc it looks great!
