Adelphi is all about compromise. What you lose you gain. Adelphi's small campus has its advantages. It's wonderful to roll out of bed and in 15 mins be dressed and at class. But as small as the campus is Garden City is not the ideal college town. If the mall wasn't 10 minutes away buying the things you would need would be very hard. Luckily Adelphi provides free transportation to and from the mall. Adelphi professors are average. Just like any school some professors will change your life, some will be really fun and other will make you want to rip your hair out. Adelphi pride is average as well. Most students own at least one Adelphi Article of clothing and wear it proudly. But without a football team it is very hard to motivate the school to be excited about sporting events. The other sports don't attract the same level of crowd as football games could. When I tell other people I go to Adelphi, those who are from the area look at it as a good thing. Other areas of the country won't know what the hell I'm talking about. You get use to it. One of the biggest complaints I, and most of the student body have about the campus is the food. It is unhealthy, repetitive and sometimes gross. A sandwich is a sandwich but sometimes you just want a little more. Personally I recommend getting the smallest meal plan and asking your parents for the rest of the money in cash so you can eat out once a week. It will help break up the week of meals. If I could change anything it would diffidently be the food. One of the things I will never forget about Adelphi is the people. I'm involved in very different parts of Adelphi. Each and every person a meet is diverse and worth knowing. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Adelphi University is very a diverse campus. Students are offered the opportunity to not only excel academically, but socially as well. Many clubs and organizations help aid the student to perform well with people in general and to communicate. There are many community service events that one can be a part of, as well as educational seminars with guest speakers on various topics. Other services such as the writing, learning and career centers are also available to guide students in the right path towards accomplishing their career goals. All of this is set in a campus that is alcohol and drug free, creating the perfect setting for students to completely engage in their studies. Adelphi is a community where leaders are born in all areas and aspect of the well-rounded student.

I think that Adelphi is great! Honestly, I love living on campus and I love being involved in all of the organizations that I am a part of and that's what I think really makes the college experience. I think that the best thing at Adelphi is the different things to become a part of and the leadership opportunities that we offer to students. Whether it's on the executive board of a club, or as an Orientation Leader, or honor societies, Greek life, or being a part of clubs or studying aborad, I think that Adelphi has so much to offer and so much to give back to the students. My favorite thing that I have done so far is being an Orientation Leader, it was amazing experience and I loved every part of it. I also love that we have such an active Student Government, I feel that we really try to take part and show support for the different things going on on campus and come out for them.

When i tell people i go to this school they normally put on a weird face or do not know where it is, which is great because whatever idea tey have i can either confirm or inform them more about it and change their mindset. At first i did not know what to expect from this school because there are a lot of misinformed ideas regarding it. It is located close to everything, yet it is in a quite and beautiful setting where one can appreciate nature and not be in a secluded area. My school is not very large, so it can be easier to make friends because you will see familiar faces around. But it not small either, so you will meet new people everyday! And there are alot of places where you can just walk and not feel crowded.

My opinion about this is school is that it’s great. The campus is beautiful and there are so many different extra-curricular activities you can do and participate in. The teachers are very approachable. You can take advantage of the school facilities at various hours of the day. The dormitories are clean, fun to be in, and student friendly (quiet hours, clean facilities, etc.). There is diversity at Adelphi, and people come many different states as well as different countries. Classes are small and there are always on campus events that are open to everyone and range from different hours of the day to different days of the week. I love the atmosphere and the environment of the school. It is a quiet area yet it’s not far from a city-like atmosphere. Adelphi is neither too small nor too large which is great. There isn’t one place where i spend most of my time. I usually do go to my hall lounge, the underground cafe, or just sitting on a bench outside of the buildings or sitting on the lawn. There is definitely a lot of school pride, everyone usually wears Adelphi apparel and whenever there are athletic games, people go to support. I love that Adelphi has every kind of food and dessert. There’s a smoothie store that sells AMAZING smoothies and I was never into smoothies but now that I’ve tried a couple I like them.

I love the school. There are so many ways to get involved. The people are always willing to help you out. I spend most of time in the library, because it is open for a very long time throughout the day.
