A: I love that Adelphi has this strong, close-knit community among its students and faculty. When I was looking for a college it was important to me that I would be more than just a number in a crowd – I would be a person, and that’s what you get here at Adelphi.

If you want something, and you’re ready to work for it, you will achieve it.

FUN Fact: I was once in a commercial about a new pavilion that was built in New Orleans, and it was really really embarrassing.
