[edit] Pro-Adelphi Bias
I agree. The school, physically is a dump! Buildings, dorms, etc. are depressing and substandard!! Nothing to offer! Most academic programs are mediocre; (I.E.- Nursing and business are sub-par (at best).)Is the business school AACSB accredited?? If not, why bother attending? I implore whoever wrote this (probably an Adelphi employee) to cut the nonsense and be realistic. Does not come close to offering the academics/facilities that I.E.-Hofstra, Stonybrook offer (I use these two universities as examples because Adelphi was compared to them on the wikipedia article page). Prominent alumni/alumni support is nill. Endowment is miniscule. Does Adelphi have a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter, the most prominent collegiate honor society? Hofstra and Stonybrook do. Does Adelphi offer state of the art swimming facilities, gyms, tracks, etc for students? Hofstra and Stonybrook do. Division II sports (although minor, if potential students want a well rounded college experience, don't expect to see any well known school/universities coming to play against Adelphi. You will not see Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, United States Military Academy, Harvard, etc play at Adelphi. However, you will see them on the campus' of Stonybrook and Hofstra.) Do yourself a favor, if you do not believe me, visit Adelphi. Then stop by Hofstra University and see the difference. Also, drop by Stonybrook and see how much more they offer. See for yourself.
Please provide reference to "New York Magazine's" claim, google searches have turned up with nothing.
[edit] Omission in history?
Is there any reason the article mentions nothing of the financial woes Adelphi incurred thanks to its corrupt former president? SliceNYC 00:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
