Is Chapin (Graduate Housing) the best dorm at Stony Brook?

Thankfully a cleaning crew comes every week to maintain communal areas like taking out trash, recycling, vacuuming, and cleaning the bathrooms. You keep your own room clean. The bedroom carpets are nasty. You can request them to be deep cleaned or buy a rug. The bathrooms and kitchen are dated. You share with roommates. No washing machine. Washer and dryers are available for students. There is a small playground for families with kids. The ‘common area’ has a gym, a mini self-service shop, study area with two private rooms to study in, two printers, and a package room. Students who require a handicapped accessible bathroom stall with a shower can find these bathrooms in the commons if they are unable to book a dorm with an accessible bathroom. There is a student bus that takes students to the main campus or you can easily walk to campus (10-20 minutes). The hospital is 6 minute walk away from these dorms! Pro: Location Family friendly Quiet Parking Laundry Weekly cleaning Closets Con: Dated Walls are thin Sucks if you share a room with a roommate Most dorm rooms don’t have an ac Fire alarms go off because students are used to cooking 🙄
