Read What Students Are Sayingin the end, it is what you make of it. adelphi really tries hard to make students feel welcome. the parties are not crazy, but again, you can make them fun for you.
Thelma from New York, NY
The courses for Math and Computer Science majors / double majors are rigorous and require you to learn the material thoroughly to pass the classes.
Christopher from Bohemia, NY
The average class size is 21. The teacher to student ratio is 11 to 1. This is why the professors are able to give students specialized attention. Professors want their students to do good. The course work is manageable and paying attention in class makes the homework easy. Teachers are always available for office hours and will help with any understood work or revising a paper.
Stefani from Ronkonkoma, NY
Adelphi has a great location. Everyone on campus is extremely helpful and friendly. They are really starting to change a good campus to make it a great campus, participating in events like the Fresh Air Movement.

Adelphi is a close-knit school featuring numerous experts in their fields of study, and with that a number of opportunities for students to engage in their field in a working environment. Highly professional atmosphere and home to some of the most active and hardworking students out there.
Lindsey from Easton, PA
Adelphi University isn't just a small campus, it's also a small community. This is a place where professors will actually know students by name and not just a number. Students have a diverse amount of activities/clubs to join and lots of wonderful nice people to meet here.
