@littlet4lks aw, i’m glad to hear that!!

as for adelphi, i’m from NJ and the college is in NY so i currently dorm. i actually really like living on campus!! all the dorms are pretty nice and dorming is basically like having a sleepover every night lol. i am a room bug so i tend to just stay in a lot & do work, but there are tons of opportunities to have fun. clubs are always having events (like almost every day) & the city is only 40 minutes away by train. plus, i love that theres a train station right down the road (within walking distance). i have yet to learn how to use public transport in NY but i’m assuming as a new yorker, you probably know lol. anyway, overall i really like the college. all my professors are great & i feel like i’m at the proper academic level. classes aren’t impossible to pass, but they’re also not freebies. i definitely am learning and pushing myself to do well, which is what makes paying for college worth it. i do think that i should have gotten more scholarship money compared to what some of my other friends received, but there are a lot of jobs on campus and off campus to help. plus i’m from out of state, so i guess it makes sense that i didn’t get as much money. i also sometimes find it uninteresting that a lot of kids here are from NY because some of them look down on NJ and i can’t relate to the NY lifestyle. the student and professor population is very racially diverse though. & i’m not a party person at all, which is totally okay. a lot of people do go out on thursdays and fridays but i usually do homework or watch netflix, and nobody calls me out on it. i find that the weekends can oftentimes be quiet since half the students are commuters, but i usually find that to be a good thing because i can relax/sleep/study in peace.

i imagined myself going to a big school so i could meet tons of new people, attend football games, have a lot of spirit, etc. but i’m learning now that my quiet academic oriented personality would not have fit well in that atmosphere. i actually think that’s why adelphi was perfect for me. i have the low key atmosphere on campus that’s perfect for getting an education and then i have the loud crazy atmosphere of NYC which is great to have fun. aka i have the best of both worlds

also i’m not in the honors college but i do have many friends in it & they seem to like it!! you can live in honors suites and go to a lot of cool events, like operas, ballets, dinner at the dean’s house, etc. good luck at your interview!!
