Maxwell - 10/15/2021

I have only been on campus for 2 months but enjoying the beautiful campus but also the close proximity to New York City and all that it has to offer. It is a small university but has a big campus feel. It has all the D1 sports you could want, the facilities such as the library, student union, sports venues and theatre are all top notch facilities. You have everything you could need here on campus.

Gianna - 07/29/2020

I don't know if LIU Post is right for me. I'm not sure if I fit in with the other students, though I want to. I've considered going to a school farther away from home so that dorm life would be mandatory. I commute to campus and have a full-time job, which makes the school ten times harder for me to get involved and adore the school like other students. I often think of spending too much time on working and studies are taking away from my youth. Overall, the school is mediocre. Not many parties, some Greek life, a smaller campus. If you are looking for a life-changing experience and unparalleled memories, LIU Post is definitely not for you. I still don't know if it's even for me.

LIU Post is an amazing school that offers great opportunities. The campus isn't too big or too small so everyone on campus has to know each other. The more involved you are the more fun you have. The class sizes are perfect which allow students to learn more effectively and be more successful in there majors.

Bria

Good academia. The classes can be rigorous but you have to do the work. There needs to be more cultural organizations on campus as well as career events comparable to the Brooklyn campus.
