Stony Brook University student housing

[3] Graduate students are not placed in the same manner, and are instead assigned housing based on preference and availability of space.

There are six quads that make up the residential areas for undergraduate students at Stony Brook.

Residents placed in H quad belong to the Leadership and Service undergraduate college (LDS).

It is a seven-tier circular labyrinth, around 30 ft in radius, made of grass and red tree bark.

Programing and residential learning in the quad is focused on identity exploration and human development, as per the Undergraduate College connected with the quad is Human Development (HDV) The Health and Wellness LLC is offered through Schick college, and is meant to provide students with a foundation in the concepts of healthy living and help those looking for a career in the health professions via a minor offered through the LLC.

The living learning center in Roth quad is the Environmental Studies minor.

It is based in Hendrix College and is meant to unite ecology, meteorology and oceanography in order to understand human impact on the environment.

It is typically held during the last Friday of April, and the goal of the race is to get from one side of Roth pond to the other in a boat made of only cardboard, duct tape and paint.

The event is judged by the Roth Pond Yacht club, and is funded by the Undergraduate Student Government.

[12] The Media Arts LLC minor is located in Tabler quad's Douglass college.

The goal of this LLC is to help students better understand the types of media available in today's world and how art can be expressed through them, and involves working with the types of media available on campus, like SBUTV and WUSB.

Each apartment also includes a kitchen area, a private bathroom, and in most cases, a large shared common-space.

[15] All buildings except West I are reserved for junior and senior undergraduate students in good academic standing.

Chapin apartments are designed for graduate students of the Health Sciences Center, and are located near the University Hospital.

[16] Commenting on earlier claims that the buildings are "poorly maintained",[17] a member of the Schomburg Rent Review quoted that "the Chapin Complex was built [in 1981] to last 10 years.

"[18] Also, protests broke out in 2010 over the fact that rent was increasing when graduate student stipends remained unchanged.
