Not having a car on campus: the ultimate Adelphi struggle.
Trust me, I get it. Not having a car on campus is the worst. Adelphi has the Panther Express shuttles, but that can only take you to a few locations, right? Wrong. Here’s how to get to way more places using the Adelphi shuttles.
#ShuttleHacks
The shuttle to Mineola Train Station can also get you to…
-
Nice N Natural
This is an adorable juice shop within walking distance from the train. It has juices, smoothies, sandwiches, soups, and healthy baked goods. It looks adorable! I’ll definitely be checking it out as a reward for studying for finals.
-
Eleanor Rigby’s
A little pricier, but if you’re looking for good food, live music, and a cool, classic rock vibe, definitely check out Eleanor Rigby’s restaurant.
-
Chase Bank
This one might not be as fun, but it’s practical! This is a great way to get to your bank. (Less ATM fees=More money to spend on fun stuff.)
The shuttle to Roosevelt Field Mall can also get you to…
-
European Wax Center
“EWC waxing salon in Garden City offers a wide selection of waxing services for men and women, including Bikini, Eyebrow, Leg, Arm, Upper Lip, Back, Brazilian Waxing, and more. Our unique Comfort Wax™ uses 100% natural beeswax, which combined with our 4 Steps to Gorgeous™ process, promises you’ll walk into our center and strut out feeling fabulous.” It’s just a walk across the street, a parking lot and then one more street to cross and you’re there! Easy peasy (and it beats taking a cab!) Plus they have a student wax pass where you buy 3, and get 1 for free! That’s 25% off! And if that wasn’t enough to sell you on it, “First-Time guests can enjoy a complimentary brow, underarm or bikini line wax for women or ear, nose or brow for gents.” Treat yourself. *hairflip*
-
Moe’s
There’s a Chipotle in the mall, but if you’re a die-hard Moe’s fan, you’re in luck! This is in the same plaza as the European Wax Center.
-
Burlington Coat Factory
Always looking for a deal? This is a great place to get discount clothes!
-
Dollar Tree
Dollar stores are great for college students on a budget. They sell everything from party supplies (great if a roomie is having a birthday) to notebooks.
-
Mac & Melts
“Founded in 2013, Mac & Melts presents Comfort Food 2.0, melting down the dishes of our grandparents and serving them up with a fresh, modern and high-quality twist. With a wide selection of grilled cheeses and a variety of vibrant mac-and-cheese dishes, this Garden City, New York restaurant has made the casual dining experience incredibly trendy-licious.” Yass cheese. I’m in.

Trader Joe’s
If you’re like me and you’re a health nut, this one is a life changer. This grocery store is awesome. And the best part– they have adorable, affordable store brand products. Word on the street is they have fantastic greek yogurt, but don’t take my word for it– hop on the next Walmart shuttle.

Everything for organization that you could ever need. It’s a wonderland.

Chocolate Works
More sweets! If you have a serious sweet tooth, you need to visit this place. “Chocolate Works Garden City is family owned and operated by Rich and Lori Penchuk.

AMC Movie Theater
Right across the parking lot from where the shuttle drops you off. Plus the Panthertainment booth offers discounted tickets (and there might just be a regular student discount at the theater).

European Wax Center
Another one! Gosh I love this chain. And they just came out with a new line of products… which I will definitely be spending a paycheck on #WhatIsSelfControl

Cute shoes, purses, sunglasses, and accessories. And you really do pay less! (It’s even better if you use coupons from retailmenot)

Quiznos
Sandwiches! For when you just have to indulge in those cravings, am I right ladies? They also have broccoli cheddar soup that rivals Panera. The best part– going there means no delivery minimum!
-
Gamestop
Another Gamestop! Long Island loves it’s video games, what can I say?
But I get it. Sometimes taking the shuttle just won’t be enough. And for those times, I highly recommend Uber. Don’t want to spend money?
