A new school year has brought many new additions to Stony Brook University’s on-campus dining. From better food to modern designs, Stony Brook dining offers students a new eating experience.

When freshmen apply for housing, they are divided into quads based on areas of interest called Undergraduate Colleges (UGCs). The purpose is to bring together students who share similar interests.

Instead, it relies on sealed, prepackaged “Halal NY” sandwiches from the Union Commons.
