Posted May 10, 2012 by Nick Batson
This campus is beautiful. I mean that – even with all of the ongoing construction. There are sections, like the Staller Steps, or the fountain near the Administration building that just bring a sense of relaxation to anyone around to enjoy them.

The Roth Pond Regatta is an event that has been taking place annually at Stony Brook dating all the way back to 1989.
