Long Island University Reviews

"Long Island University is extremely expensive. I wish that one of the state schools on Long Island had the school counseling major so that I wouldn't be $40,000 in debt. They did not reveal just how competitive the field is. They did not mention that almost 1,000 people apply for a leave replacement position. On a more positive note, the professors were great and I did get to go to Africa for two weeks."

"The Manhattan Campus was very convenient for me because I work in the city and didn't have to travel far for evening classes."

"I liked my professors but I do not like the school as a whole. The psych office told me that the information you see on your student log in page is often wrong and I was missing credits I did not know about. It is very disorganized and took me forever to get a straight answer about graduation."

"It's an amazing campus and a good place to study. Also staying off campus isn't too bad and is close to public commute"

"They offered weekend courses which allowed me to continue working while I earned my degree(s)"

"Great college with a wonderful caring faculty. Wonderful school for students that work full time."

"This is a smaller but more expensive college. I found classes to be small, and several job fairs were hosted upon graduation. I did find the evening classes convenient for working professionals, but the expenses were high ."

"The professors at Long Island University-Brooklyn Campus are very passionate of their subject area, which makes class (and learning) more engaging and enjoyable. They are also attentive to their students. They make every effort to connect with students outside the classroom, opening the doors for further learning and honing skills needed for their students' future careers."

"My university is a school that focuses on the pharmacy and nursing schools more than any other program on campus. The liberal arts are not a priority whatsoever. Barely any money for grants or scholarships for undergraduate or graduate study of psychology. The PhD psychology program would get all the psychology funds and the rest would trickle down. The psychology program at LIU feels like an advanced bachelor degree. Very general and has no focus, it's essentially a stepping stone if you can't get into another graduate or doctoral program that helps further your career. I did have a good experience with a couple of my professors, which are the ones I took most classes with. Generally speaking, the administration needs a major overhaul in this institution."

"I attend Long Island University and started of by being a Pre-Pharmacy major and gradually got accepted into the professional phase of Pharmacy. I am very satisfied with my college. Although being a private college means being a bit on the costly side but the experience and education is worth it. Pharmacy is the major that is Long Island University is known for. So those who want to do pharmacy this is a great college to attend. However to note, pharmacy is very challenging program to get into so dedication is a must. I came from a international high school not having chemistry or biology background but what I found out is that hard work can overcome anything. So, don't be scared and good luck in college."

"Overall LIU-Brooklyn campus is awesome the professors are understanding when it comes to teaching knowing that you are a fulltime employee and student. The atmosphere at LIU is welcoming and the students and staff are always welcoming. The courses offered at LIU have many different times offered to fit your daily schedule. The activities offered as well such as intramural, school activities and spirit is very high. I myself enjoyed the time at LIU because of the friends I made and the study sessions we had in library which opens and closes late which offers you reasonable times to study during exams, midterms and finals. If you have the chance to attend LIU I would highly recommend it to anyone."

"I enjoyed that the program was growing throughout my time there and continues to grow."

"The professors are very helpful and the class sizes are small and manageable. The teachers are very friendly and care about your performance. Every professor also have office house which gives you the ability to meet with the professor one on one in order to better understand a topic."

"I feel that my department could have worked closer with career services to help us find jobs and internships. Even though there is a career services' website, I rarely see anything useful on it. That is my main issue with this school."

"I felt the LIU Post was an overall great school. I had wonderful professors throughout my undergraduate who offered extra help after class to help whenever needed. I lived on campus because I played softball. The school is a very big commuters school, and mostly only athletes lived on campus. My softball team was my second family away from home and I had a wonderful roommate for 4 years strong. I felt this school prepared me for the educational field and made sure I received the correct classes in order to graduate. The school location is in a beautiful area that was close to my home. During rush hours, there was traffic on the roads which I had to get use to. I enjoyed going home on the weekend which made this school a great fit for myself. The class size was no more than 25 kids in most classes, so it was similar to High School. There were only two classes that I took where it had 100 kids which made it difficult for the teacher to get to know their students. They offer many great programs in the University, one being the education program. In the education program, they even offer a 5 year program which allows students to start their graduate studies early. The campus size is small and that is what I wanted. Most of the school buildings were in walking distance from one another with an exception of music and criminal justice building. The financial cost of this school can be expensive for some because it is a private school. But there are many scholarships one can apply for as well as being a part of an athletic team. Overall, this school was a great school that had everything I needed and wanted."

"The SC campus of LIU is closed because it went bankrupt due to poor management by the President of the university at the time. The closing of the school was done in a very harsh manner: they accepted the incoming freshmen class and then they announced that August that they would be closing the school at the end of that school year. This "tricked" the freshmen into accepting the admission's offer, but would be required to go to a new school their following years. The other classes were also thrown for a loop to figure out what they would do next- the Juniors had it the worst because they wouldn't be able to transfer to a new school without losing some credits. This forced them to attend C.W. Post of LIU, which is a business school, when most SC students were marine bio or art students- not a good trade off. LIU did not seem interested in helping the students of SC; the President was more interested in his helicopter being paid for than graduating out the students he tricked."

"Small and intimate setting. You get to know your professors and have many opportunities to do a variety of activities and programs."

"This graduate program i wonderful and exactly what I expected to do ones I graduated. The school assigns you to a counselor that helps you through the entire program with internships and great opportunities to help students build relationships with professionals already in the field."

"pros are that I gain the necessary knowledge and skills I need to pursue the goals of my potential career. the cons are that I have loans to repay"

"My graduate program provides its students with a Master of Fine Arts in Writing & Producing for TV. Nestled in downtown Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Naval Yard, it is the biggest film studio (outside of L.A.) in the America! I hardly need to mention how amazingly fun and opportunity-filled this experience can be for an aspiring student & artist. However, if you've ever been to New York City, you know exactly how expensive it can be. The cost of living here nearly eliminates the middle class from being able to afford schools located here. I'm a first generation college student who came from a small West Texas town of 9,000 people. My rent more than quadrupled as I moved to the Northeast. But although the cost of living as a New Yorker came as quite a shock to me as a Texan, I would never trade a more affordable situation for the professional and personal growth that I experience in the Big Apple at Long Island University. Brooklyn may as well be the center of the universe, and with mentors like Norman Steinberg, students can't help but to excel, succeed, and flourish within a competitive, cut-throat industry - Film and Television."
