Flooding at Stony Brook prompts school to offer students money to give up dorm rooms

Stony Brook University experienced “significant flooding” from the storms.
In an email sent out to students, school officials clarified that while most of the campus was operational, certain residence halls experienced “significant flooding.”
The school will be offering $5,000 to continuing undergraduate students who had not yet moved into their assigned residence halls to give up their rooms for the 2024-2025 academic year.
In addition, Stony Brook announced that they will be tripling dorms – meaning that some rooms designed to hold two students will now be holding three “throughout the year”.
