This will be a long review. I just graduated from here and I have a lot to say about LIU.
The administration and board of trustees fully dropped the ball since the 2017 professor lockout and now they're fully focused on lining their pockets at the expense of both the professors and the students.
The pharmacy/nursing/polsci programs appear to be the least affected as of now and are the best choices if you decide to go here.
Enrollment services are extremely rude especially the lady in charge "Wanda". I would avoid that place like the plague if you can't solve your problems on your own.
The honors college is a highlight of this place. Unlike the rest of LIU, your advisor will care and be responsive to all of your concerns and needs, as well as connecting their students with opportunities and fellowships.
If you are a commuter and you just want to take your academics seriously and leave, this school is not as bad. The people who go here are super nice for the most part and even though it is difficult to meet people, socializing is a highlight at LIU.
The on-campus food is a mixed bag. Pom and Honey is trash while the dining hall can range in quality depending on time of the day and your luck.
The third floor "library" is dreadful and one of the worst places to study. I advise to use the fifth floor LLC instead as its much more quiet.
Always check rate my professor before taking a class. Read the fine-print of all paperwork they hand you, take advantage of CLEP exams and independent studies and good luck.
