Before all the rivals and the Stony Brook naysayers get ahead of themselves, Stony Brook is an awesome school. We have some great sports teams, plenty of study spots and the best parties. With that being said, no college is perfect. Here are ten annoying things about Stony Brook University that I won't be looking forward to this fall.
1. The food is too expensive.
I don't care if it's a college custom, charging six bucks for a tiny cup of fruit is criminal.
2. Our "tobacco free" campus indeed contains plenty of tobacco.
On the bright side, smokers can save on buying cigarettes by hanging out behind the Melville Library and breathing in the air.
3. Stretching over multiple zip codes is over rated.
That twenty-minute troop from your dorm to the other side of campus is always a reminder of this.
4. The fact that not every quad has air conditioning is annoying.
Stony Brook golden rule: if you don't live in Yang or West Apartments you're a peasant.
5. The squeaky chairs in Javits Lecture Hall.
There's no such thing as sitting through a lecture in Javits Lecture Hall without the chairs squeaking every two minutes.
6. And lord, the bees!
Having a beautiful school with lots of scenery and flowers is great and all until your late for class a fifth time because you got in a fight with a bee.
7. That uninviting smell of manure whilst strolling the academic mall.
You know the weather is still great on campus when everywhere there's flowers planted it smells like a goat farm.
8. Trying to get from one side of the Staller Steps to the other is quite the maze.

9. When it's 12 AM, you're hungry, and your only options are Starbucks and Dominos.
Can we get some late night food options on campus so we don't have to drive to the end of the world for it?
10. Trying to find an open study room in the library be like...
Those things are always occupied, literally always.
