Adelphi University Top Questions

The only person I could see not enjoying this school, is someone who is lazy, and expects easy A's.

There is no such thing as a person who shouldn't attend this school. There is such thing as someone personally not feeling the school.

Anyone that is looking for an exciting campus social life. This campus had a dead social life the entire time I attended the school. Additionally many of the facilities and classrooms while adequarte were not new. Finally, anyone that wants an expansive library, the Adelphi library is relatively small in comparison to Hofstra or other comprible universities in the NYC area

someone who is looking for a lot to do on weeekends or is looking for the typical big schl all out sports and frat life

Any student who does not appreciate the arts (musical theatre, dance, ect.) should definately reconsider their admission to Marymount Manhattan College. Althoughit is a very diverse campus, the students are mainly focused on the theatre arts. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, it is wonderful the different kinds of people you meet in the atmosphere but anyone who doesn't enjoy being around people who are artistically inclined should probably not go to this school. The academics also don't seem to be at a really high level so anyone big into academics should reconsider their application.

There really isn't a kind of person who shouldn't attend Adelphi. It is a place that I would and I do suggest to many people, if not to attend then at least to visit, to try, and experience what it has to offer. Everyone can find a home here. The only person who shouldn't attend Adelphi is the one who does not know what they want, or who are not willing to work for what they want. If a student isn't willing to dedicate to their studies, this isn't it.

Students that do not take education seriously should not attend Adelphi. This university offers many opportunites and financial assistance that it would be a waste to allow irresponsible slackers to come here. There are many students out there that have high goals, aspirations and the desire to prove themselves to the world. These are the people that deserve the chance to attend Adelphi university. These people that think outside of the box are the ones that will revolutionize or make great and positive contributions to help our society advance and move forward.

Someone who intends to go to school and go home will feel out of place and unwelcomed here. Although it is primarily an educational institute a significant amount of resources go into all of the aspects that someone strictly academically minded will not see or feel and in return will feel financially robbed. In terms of socialization there is a vast array of groups and subcultures that intermingle so someone can feel comfortable and explore while meeting new kinds of people.

If you're looking for a school that's big on partying, Greek life, football and stereotypical "college life," this is not the campus for you. It's a dry campus, meaning no alcohol allowed. While we do have sororities and fraternities, they aren't allowed to have housing off-campus in the area (city ordinance, not a school rule). Most of the students are commuters and the RAs and public safety are really strict about partying, so weekends are kind of dead. There are only two clubs in the area, too.

someone who likes to go out a lot and who wants that real "college experience"

Anyone that enjoys diversity or more rigid courses in certain areas or that want mandatory intership/ externship work.

A person with strong political views should not attend Adelphi University as I see this university as an open-mind environment and facility.
