Stay away from this school if you want to get a job. This school has a reputation of administration giving grades out like Candy to students who cheated and did no work. The school is in desperate need of students so they do unethical things with fudging grades and hours of work experience required by New York State . This is not a college it's a joke . The New York State teacher certification office NYSUT should really look into this and shut them down. Disgusting that they don't care about really training a student with the correct tools needed . read more

YOU GUYS NEED TO CHANGE that light. You have young, VERY NEW drivers making a left turn while heading Westbound. These young people don't wait and turn while people are traveling Eastbound at 50 mph or faster. We almost had a major collection at that exact place. You are going to have grieving students and moms and dads if you don't get it together NOW. People are going to die there. PUT AN ARROW ONLY TURN THERE. STOP BEING LAZY AND SAVE A LIFE. DEATHS IN FAMILIES, I can tell you from experience that a family will break down when a loved one is taken away from us. THESE REASONS ARE SO EASY TO REPAIR. JUST DO IT AND SAVE SOME LIVES. I WILL PAY FOR IT! read more

A school with dorms without any semblance of any campus life. A vast majority of the kids there live on Long Island and go home every single weekend leaving the campus feeling like a barren wasteland. This is also one of the few colleges that doesn't even have shuttle buses that go to and from the area bars. This basically invites drunk driving because the kids are going to the bars just to meet other people in the area since they can't meet many people on their own campus. What's the point of paying dorm fees without having the away college experience you dreamed about in high school? Avoid at all costs! read more

Beautiful campus!! I'm very excited for my first semester here. It's only been a few weeks and I feel that it will be a good experience. And I love that there is almost every major possible in this university. read more

I attended there from 2002-2006 for my undergrad and 2006-2008 for my masters. 1st Opinion - Financial Aid Department - Not at all helpful in obtaining any grants or in assisting in applying for type of scholarship. As a student you will have to do it yourself, they won't give you any guidance whatsoever. An example, as a first year student there I was of course 18 years old and had no idea how to apply for these things. The only thing I had was getting from financial aid was TAP and work study while I was dorming. No assistance whatsoever in obtaining books as they were extremely expensive and had to go second hand(online) or ask a student to borrow a textbook for a day to make photocopies. Paying a tuition with room and board came out as about $30,000 a year of federal loans and private loans split with financial aid. My financial aid total was about $3,000 a year. Anytime you make an appointment with a financial aid counselor it seems like they are overbooked or on vacation. They never call you back when you leave a message. 2nd Opinion - Dorming - Open house was a bait and switch where they showed everyone that there is a kitchen with stove and microwaves, refrigerators allowed in rooms, thermostat control, etc. This was only the newest dorm (Brookville Dorm) and by the end of my first year they had remove most amenities because of a fire safety issue which till 2008 they never resolved. From Thursday-Sunday the campus is pretty much a ghost town and lack of activities. I have been to other colleges like Union upstate in Schenectady which they had fireworks in homecoming, brand new kitchen and appliances, and activities that have no restrictions on time. The activities are lacking and since most of the student bodies are commuters it doesn't draw them to stay on campus to participate. As posted by other fellow alumnus, when its snow storms there your pretty much stuck if you don't have a vehicle. Its an absolute must to have a car on campus as there is limited shuttle service and everything is too far to walk and unsafe to get to at night unless your driving. Public Safety has not given any problems to students in my opinion. Nicest Public Safety I met compare to other schools. 3rd Opinion - Education - The only thing I do find redeeming in this university. I had very excellent teachers on this campus. Even the adjuncts were probably the smartest people I have ever met and are severely underpaid for taking on classes where its 30-1 ratio. The teachers were very understanding with issues such as buying textbooks and being late with an assignment. I do have to say though that most of the classes are fairly easy compare to upper rank schools. read more

I am beginning to get extremely frustrated by reviews about this school that focuses on non-essentials, for example, "the campus is sooo pretty." Well, sure, it's a decent-looking campus, but academic wise; this school is a nightmare!!! People need to know the truth about what goes on at this school. First off, no, I am not one of those lazy "I don't want to put any effort in"-students. I am an honor's student with stellar GPA and a rather impressive resume in general. I really care about my life and my future, and I always strive for perfection. 1. Students are allowed to use their phones during exams in the majority of the undergraduate classes here. Professors will always pretend that they do not see or are aware of what is going on, but trust me, they know. At least 80% of my fellow students cheated on every exam in one of my accounting classes, same can be said about a macroeconomics class that I took. It is appalling; this school has ZERO academic integrity. It's embarrassing. 2. This school is moving towards going completely broke. Google it! Roughly rounding it off, Hofstra University's endowment are 4x the size of LIU Post. You can discuss this matter with many of the professors at campus, they all testify of shrinking departments and resources. 3. Professors focus on giving as high grades as possible! It's all about statistics and keeping your job. They will more or less give extra credit away, or lower the standards to the extreme just to ensure as high of a grade average among their students as possible. 4. The administrative side is horrendous too, most likely due to the lack of financial resources. They will lose important paperwork, and fail to update your financial standing more often than not. 5. They are desperate to lure in new students!! Do NOT fall for their tricks. LIU Post's number of applicants has steadily been decreasing; no one wants to go here. Again, look it up! Overall, deciding to come to this school is the biggest mistake of my life. Know that I am saying that regardless of graduating with a near perfect GPA. It's just not fun to attend a school with such LOW standards and where the students are not able to satisfactorily complete college-level assignments. This place will make you feel so failed in life. Trust me, YOU deserve better. read more
