I attended LIU Brooklyn for my first year of college, and based on my experience, I would not recommend this school—especially given how expensive it is as a private institution. The campus is small, and there are very few student activities. It felt like the only option was to attend class and then leave right away.
The area surrounding the campus often felt unsafe, particularly at night. I had to take evening classes, and walking to the train station afterward made me fear for my safety due to the large presence of homeless individuals and those struggling with substance abuse in the area.
The academic advising was extremely poor. In my first semester alone, I had three different advisors because they kept quitting. Due to this lack of consistent and helpful advising, I now have to spend an extra year in college to make up for misplanned courses.
While at LIU, I struggled with depression and anxiety. Since transferring to a community college, I’ve received better advising, found more student involvement opportunities, and have been much happier and more supported overall. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL

The student affairs office is number one when it comes to making things harder for students rather than helping them. It’s truly a school with no system in place, where no one knows what’s going on. If you need to get something done, you have to struggle for about a year. They can even randomly tell you that you owe money to the school and demand payment. A school that absolutely does not deserve the money it charges.

This school does not embody great leadership at all! It's like the blind leading the blind. Leaving students to get inadequate advice, guidance, resources, and results all while having student staff poorly advise each other while the higher ups get paid!!!! Issues go unresolved, and no one takes responsibility or accountability and constantly passes issues off from one person to another. Failing to have a proactive and clear approach in handling any issue adequately. Some of the staff are unprofessional, extremely rude, and unhelpful. After acceptance and the well played orientation, you are on your own!!! The only bottom line they care about is MONEY. Misadvising students to accept loans without prior knowledge or offering scholarships and tuition waivers without honoring them or providing inadequate financial advice or financial aid, especially to disadvantaged students. Save yourself the time, stress, aggravation, misguidance, and most of all, your money! This school is ran so poorly, they make CUNY seem like an ivy league!

Every phone call I've had with admissions has been so rude and condescending for no reason. There is absolutely a negative culture at LIU Brooklyn. Don't waste your time trying to get help from them, they don't care. Definitely choosing other universities.

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.

When your teacher yells at you, it is common in this university. You don't have a choice, you must study with a person who makes you stressed and nervous . They are never going to take care of you as a student. and after 3 weeks of study there are no options to cancel classes if you have a grant.I would never recommend anyone to study at LIU.

Just keep this in your mind, even with full scholarship, you end up paying thousands of dollars for nothing. This is not a university or scientific institution, it’s a scam company that makes money out of admissions they give. So unprofessional and irresponsible. They make a thousand of promises with no action. They count on international student who cannot sue them or get a lawyer. I was promised a full tuition waiver and stipend as a PhD student as any other universities in the whole world. After I started my program, they informed me we will not continue your scholarship or stipend. I managed to get out of there after 1 semester but they charged me 2800 dollars for their insurance which I had my own insurance and coverage. When I was there, they simply said you either pay the whole thing or get back to your country we don’t care.

My classes were great but I'm giving it one star for their financial aid plan. I would give it no stars if I could. I'm hoping things have changed so that no one else goes through what I went through. I was in the accelerated nursing program that was a 1-2 year program for people who already had a Bachelor's degree. I aced the exam to get into the nursing program but because I hadn't paid off the Perkins loan which was in the thousands by the next semester I wasn't able to do it. I was forced to drop out and was not able to get my transcripts so that I could transfer to another school. It took me years to pay off that loan because I wasn't working and by the time I finally paid it off I was working and didn't want to go back because I didn't want to take out any more loans. I told people about my experience and some said they had the same experience. I heard a lot of schools did away with making students pay off loans before they could move on to the next semester. I hope LIU is one of them.
