Review of Adelphi University

from Ronkonkoma, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am currently a commuter student and I spend every second I possibly can on campus. Since I love Adelphi so much I am actually going to become a resident next semester. There are always things to do on campus. We have clubs, organizations and greek life on campus. I am currently excited for the Holiday party which involves Build-a-Bear, a snow hill for sledding, and a dj.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Adelphi is a private school which means it is more expensive than state schools, but they offer scholarships to most students and are generous with fiancial aid. Between financial aid and scholarships I pay less than I would for a state school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prospective students most definitely should go on a tour of the school. Adelphi was my second choice school until I went on a tour of the school. Learning about Adelphi and seeing everything that would be available to me at the school changed my mind. On top of all of that the campus is extremely beautiful. When applying for Adelphi make sure you provide every singe activity and volunteer work you were involved in. The school might consider you for a recognition scholarship. Also in the activities that you are involved in try to gain a leadership position.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Adelphi is great for any type of student. Adelphi has a STEP program for education majors which allows studetns to recieve their masters degree in education in five years. They have a similar program for nursing and social work. Adelphi is an accredited business school. We are division one for men's soccer, and division two for the rest of our sports. Our woman's lacrosse team has been champions for three years in a row. Almost every building on campus is commuter friendly and there are commuter assistant programs to make commuters feel welcome on campus. Residents also have programs like this on campus. Basically every major is offered at Adelphi. There are clubs and organizations for every individual on campus. Adelphi has something to offer for everyone.
