Hey everyone!

1. Around what time of the month do school supply lists for the upcoming year usually get sent out? In addition, is there anything oddly specific you recommend for me to get for certain teachers/subjects that helped you in your freshman year at Stuy? I've registered for AP Human Geography and Math Research as my elective but still waiting on word for AP Biology.

2. What's the deal with devices in school? Are you allowed to take notes on a laptop/tablet during class, or are classes typically paperwork heavy? Does Stuyvesant give you a Chromebook to work with, or do you have to bring in your own laptop? Obviously, phones aren't allowed, but I was just curious on how devices are integrated into the classroom at Stuy.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm assuming that, aside from grades and extracurricular activities, going outside for lunch or just hanging around the Lower Manhattan area with friends is a big part of student life at Stuyvesant.

I was wondering whether there are any nearby food spots that offer student discounts (or even discounts specifically for Stuyvesant students), as well as any fun or budget-friendly cafes, stores, or other places worth checking out. I remember one of my Big Sibs mentioned a deli nearby that sells discounted morning bagels to students, so I'm looking for recommendations like that.

Also, aside from lunch spots, are there any nearby stores that offer student discounts? I vaguely remember hearing something about discounts on electronics, but I might be completely mistaken.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
