I wanna say that iur food is nothing like the one they are serving at East Side Dining. Attached is SBUs poorly made Aji de Pollo 😃

This second picture is how it actually should look adding arroz chaufa in the slides as well.

Like this is a crime against gastronomy. I need reparations for the damage inflicted in my country's reputation. This has to be cultural appropriation at its finest. I am sorry to everyone who had to experience peruvian food for the first time. SBU, you should do better if you are gonna go around messing up cultural recipes.

Isolation (Help) (Update)

16 Upvotes

(5/5/26)

I am currently a junior at SBU. I am struggling with my mental health and I don’t have a support system I can turn to. I am in therapy but that can only do so much. I only have a few friends and can’t go to my family about this because I don’t have the best relationship with them. I looked into joining clubs but I rarely have any time because I work when I’m not at school and it’s like an hour’s commute from where I live. Can anyone else relate? Does anyone have any advice?

Update: (9/1/26)

Hey everyone, I hope everyone’s semester is off at a good start. It’s been a while since I last came onto this post. I decided to update it from my last separate post I made last semester.

So I am doing okay, better than before but still pretty lonely. Anyway, this semester my class load isn’t so high, I’m taking 2 HIS classes and 2 PSY classes too. Additionally, I will be on campus 4 days a week. Even though it’s like a 1 1/2 to 2 hour commute (round trip) I think I’d be worth it. This will give me more time to look into joining clubs/organizations on campus or maybe meet new people. So far I have met some new people in my classes but so far it’s just people you talk to in class and not really out. We do text but nothing really more than that. I know I’m getting way ahead of myself since the semester just started, but I don’t know. A part of me thinks nothing will change, while another part hope things will. I’m still not really too close with my family so I spend most of my time alone. I don’t really have much of a safe familial connection with most of them, maybe one or two. I’m not really too sure how to approach this. I plan on spending most of my time on campus (Mon-Thur) because, honestly, if I go home there won’t be much of a difference. I’d be by myself, atleast on campus I have a small chance of maybe meeting new people. I’m not too sure what clubs I’d fit into. I have a few basic interests: Reading, meditation, and baking, but they’re not something, like, I’m seriously invested in. It’s something nice to do to pass the time. Maybe I try a few to see how it goes if I find a few clubs related to them or maybe something new?

(I feel like this whole post is turning into some sort of diary/vent lol)

Btw, sorry that I haven’t responded to those who have directly messaged me when I first posted this. I wasn’t in the right headspace at the time. :(

Can anyone else relate? Does anyone have any advice?

Phy 133 lab in person or online

• Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out of the phy 133 lab is worth taking in person or online. There are no in person labs available rn so I'm thinking to just drop the online class and take in person one next semester, as I don't really wanna spend the money on the lab kit. Can anyone who has taken it before say if it is doable online or if in-person would be the better option. I also do not want to delay any degree progress. Any insight would be appreciated!

Applying to SBU High School Senior: Should I take Calculus or Statistics?

1 Upvotes

I am a current high school senior and will be applying to SBU and most likely attending if/when I get in. I want to major in Marine Vertebrate Biology on a pre-vet track and possibly minor in chemistry, geospatial sciences, or data sciences. Ideally I would minor in microbiology or pathology but SBU doesn’t have that so if i minor in anything those are my top three.

Anyways, my main question is should i take calculus or statistics this year? Both are dual enrollment so I will earn college credit. I’m currently signed up for calculus because when I signed up it was supposed to be AP but that changed. The AP teacher was no longer available so now the only option is dual enrollment calc with a teacher i’ve never had before but heard she wasnā€˜t very good. The statistics teacher on the other hand is my favorite math teacher and I had her last year for pre-calc (dual enrollment) and eight grade for algebra.

Either course is applicable to my major. I think Calculus might look better on my application, but I also am already taking three APs so it’s not like I have a light schedule.

The only real reason I’m hesitant to take statistics is because of the statistics for the life sciences/biostatistics course at SBU. I feel like I’d rather take that in college and get calculus out of the way now but I also don’t know if I want to suffer through with the current calculus teacher. If anyone has taken Calculus or biostatistics at SBU, or both, can you please tell me what you thought of the class? I know professors can be different but in general what you thought would be great! And also any suggestions on which class I should take now would be great!

This is a new professor and there is not much information about this courses here. I just wonder did he said the exams are open note or not? For those people who took it with other professors, is this course hard? I have some annoying mat courses so I probably gonna put more efforts on those :(
