    If you are looking to still be treated like a highschool or middle school kid, checked up on where ever you are going, be unable to have fun, be expected to be a perfect rold model, then SBU is your school. They have very very high Christan expectation, and have next to impossible rules to follow. The staff are rude and arrogant. You are forced to attend Chapel twice a week, so if Christianity being stuffed down your throat doesnt intrest you, SBU isn't the school for you. read full review
