At Stony Brook, our desire is for our students to learn and grow as they live together in a safe and comfortable community.

Residence Halls
There are currently 7 single-gender residential halls, for approximately 165 boarding students and approximately 14 to 15 faculty families. The remainder of the faculty live in the homes that surround the 55 acre wooded campus. Although every residence hall is uniquely designed, each one has a main lounge with couches and a television (and in some cases a fireplace), laundry facilities, and vending machines or a kitchen area. The majority of the rooms are designed for two students, although there are scattered singles and triples. A "top to bottom" renovation of Hegeman Hall occurred in Summer 2009, and a similar renovation of Monro Hall is planned for Summer 2010.

A Boarder's Day
Many students wonder what life is like as a boarding student. While it may vary greatly from student to student based on their interests and activities, the general weekday schedule is similar. The coming together of students and faculty is essential to boarding life at SBS. Evening family-style meals in Johnston Hall dining room provide an ideal environment to meet this goal. Faculty members and their families are assigned to a table; while students rotate each month from table to table. The community also gathers together for Sunday worship in Hegeman Chapel and a formal Sunday afternoon dinner.
