it's the issue i keep talking about- and no, we weren't even on his radar (LC, UVa, UNC, SU, MD).

i know i'm a broken record but kids look at colleges today based on social media reviews- and here are some of the latest:


(if you can get past the atrocious language) everyone has the same conclusion- there’s nothing to do on campus:

and the same thing, hard to make friends (give a few minutes only):

social life again (give this 2 minutes):

lacking in campus life, no one around, no events:


and yes, it is now worse with a global pandemic.

And that is a problem that will never change..

Good job on collecting these Chairman. So much of this hit home it's crazy. SBU is definitely the most anti-social campus I've ever seen. The whole "it's what you make it" line is the same sh*t people have been saying for the last 10+ years. If there's anything that will hold this university back it is this. Then again, now with Covid and the college bubble bursting, people will be even more focused on costs and academics and less on a social life and the college experience, so SBU may not need to change. Other colleges may change to be more like SBU. I echo all the sentiments said though. The lack of a social scene is far and away the worst thing about this school.

The problem is the same: commuters, and residents who go home on the weekend. If you are either of those types of people, you are no friend of mine. Perhaps having a train station directly on campus was a bad thing all along. And the school keeps admitting these types of loser students.

Commuters: these are likely the poorest students in the entire student body. Whenever I ask people why they commute, the answer is always the same: money. Many say that even if the school opened up 15 new dorm buildings, they still would never dorm because they could never afford it. It’s probably too politically incorrect nowadays to say that the school should stop accepting these poor students, but there’s no other way around it: by being too poor to live on or near campus, you are killing the atmosphere of the school.

Residents who go home on the weekend: you people are just losers. You don’t even have the excuse of being poor because you already pay for a dorm room. You are just a legal 18-22 year old adult who is too weak to live on your own that you need to go home to mommy and daddy on the weekend. You’re just a child. You can’t go 4 measly months away from your parents? You need to ditch every weekend to go home and see them? Loser. What ever happened to independence? Going to college to escape their grasp? How mentally weak are you? This behavior is despicable.

Other things: the lack of a traditional college town for students to retreat to that is easily walkable from campus. Until you find a way to physically move Port Jefferson, count that out. This is where I rant about the Stony Brook townspeople. Whining about your property values. IDGAF about your property values! The fact that it’s been 60 years since this university was created and there’s no “Main Street” or bar row or giant gala of businesses catered to the college makes me sick! Radical revolution needs to happen. The school needs to tell the townies to F off and take the initiative to build this on its own.

Malatras can also eat a fat one. He is a bad, bad man, and he is a graduate of “SUNY Empire State”, whatever the hell that is. Doesn’t Sound like he will have our interests in his mind. Again this school is restricted by “SUNY”. A cursed four letter word that solely oppressed SBU by restricting its full potential. Cuomo has not done a single good thing for SBU since he arrived. He is evil and must be defeated.

Can't forget to mention the huge number of STEM kids as well. They're "smart", great, well they have the social skills of a brick and an aversion to anything related to sex or drugs. And their virgin asses probably add little to no social value to the school as well.

The surrounding affluent communities refuse embrace a college town and the eggheads that govern our university will never openly advocate for a campus culture initiative that promotes creating more of Typical “college/party” atmosphere.  it’s simply not  politically correct for them to do so. Many otherS have made this point ad nauseam but the situation remains.

UAlbany lacrosse coach wants to get rid of NCAA transfer portal

“You get rid of the portal and you go back to the old way of doing it,” Marr said on a Zoom call Wednesday. “Hold kids accountable for why they’re transferring. Am I transferring for legitimate reasons? If a kid comes to me and says, 'Coach, I’m not fitting in with the team' or 'Academically I want to do something different,' then I would release him. But if a kid comes and like, well, he’s disgruntled because he thinks he should be playing or that type of stuff, or reasons that he sees different than you, then you have the ability to hold it over him.”

“For this to be his third school, I don’t know,” Marr said. “To me, it’s not TD’s fault that he has this opportunity. I blame the people who make those decisions. I just think it’s wrong. … To see the amount of transferring that’s going on, and again, the fact that Denver is on a trimester (academic calendar) and they can pull a kid in during the season, that to me, it’s really over the top. I don’t think that should be able to be legal. Once the season starts, I don’t think you should be able to shuffle people in and out of your lineup.”

Using basketball as an example — there are already more than 560 names on the VerbalCommits Division I transfer list for 2021 — Marr said the portal has given college sports more of a professional feel and turned athletes into free agents.

“You’re giving kids an easy way out as opposed to working through a problem or working through adversity or learning how to deal with their teammates or learning how to deal with a coaching staff,” Marr continued. “They just get to leave. So they run away from their problems. You’re just giving kids an opportunity to run away from their problems. That’s just my opinion.”

'You Never Forget Where You Came From.' Alum Chamberlain Thrives in Lax World
https://stonybrookathletics.com/news/2021/4/7/mens-lacrosse-you-never-forget-where-you-came-from-alum-chamberlain-thrives-in-lax-world.aspx

"Stony Brook has provided me with a lot of opportunities," said Chamberlain, who recently was honored with the university alumni association's 40 Under Forty award. "A lot of it has to do with athletics and the experiences that I had. It's something you just don't forget, and you can't abandon it."
 
Chamberlain regularly attends games as his schedule permits. He has traveled with the football team multiple times, and is in the stands for lacrosse, basketball and several other sports.
 
"This is the college I went to, and I want to represent it the right way," Chamberlain said. "You never forget where you came from."

New A-10 men's lacrosse conference announced. Fairfield NOT among their members.

Men's Lax lineup for the CAA is now:
Delaware
Towson
Drexel
Hofstra
Stony Brook
Monmouth
Hampton
Fairfield

I like this a lot more than what we had.

Women's Lax will be:
Delaware
Towson
Drexel
Hofstra
Elon
William & Mary
Stony Brook
Monmouth
Hampton
If they come - Howard

Count me as smiling with this outcome
