Student Life
LIU Post is located 45 minutes from New York City, about 25 miles (40 km) away.
While on campus, students can join one of the many clubs, organizations, and student leadership positions.
LIU Post also has a diverse student body, with individuals of African-American and Latino descent making up the majority of the minority student population. The student population comes mostly from Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk County), New York City (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island), and the Tri-State Region (NY, NJ, and CT), although there is a significant number of students from across the U.S. and internationally.
Post is also known for being quiet Friday through Sunday (sometimes referred as a suitcase school). Most residents leave during the weekends, or on Thursday nights since there are very few Friday classes. Although weekends have been more active since Southampton College moved its undergraduate program to LIU Post, there is still a significant difference in the campus population on weekends. A good percentage of students choose to attend parties at local clubs, many of which begin on Thursday night. Others travel to New York City or elsewhere on Long Island.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“What would life be without art? Science prolongs life. To consist of what—eating, drinking, and sleeping? What is the good of living longer if it is only a matter of satisfying the requirements that sustain life? All this is nothing without the charm of art.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
