Hey Again Everyone,

Has anyone heard if Adelphi University is good, has it got a good reputation?, also what are the living cost of a student in America?, because even though only doing my A Levels, i need to think about University and which one etc

Many Thanks

Damian

I used to live on Long Island, and I'm fairly familiar with Adelphi U. It's got a pretty good reputation, although that was several years ago, but I don't believe it's changed too much since then. of course, Hofstra U. is much better, but I'm an alumnus, so I have to say that.

On the question of cost of living... well.... Long Island is a bit more expensive than your average place in America. Adelphi U. is in Nassau county, which is practically in New York City, so food and gas costs are a bit higher than usual (but not insurmountably so). I'm assuming that you will be a resident student in campus housing (or I hope so, anyways). The price of housing is... what's the word I'm looking for... ludicrous. Traffic's another issue as well, although that's not much of a problem if you stay on campus most of the time or you use public transportation.

Out of curiosity, what are you majoring in at Adelphi? And why did you pick Adelphi in particular?
