Does anyone know roughly how big the student population at Adelphi University is? I'm looking for a school that's not too big, but not too small. So, I’d really appreciate if someone could give me some insight into the size of the student community there.
Adelphi University, based on the latest statistics, has a total enrollment of around 8,000 students, with about 5,500 being undergraduate students. Based on what you say you're looking for, Adelphi could be a good fit for you, as it's definitely not a huge university, but isn't a tiny one either.
You might get more personalized attention from faculty and staff, and you might find the campus community to be closer-knit than at a large state university, but there are still plenty of people to meet and opportunities to get involved in. That being said, the best way to get a sense of the size of the school is to visit in person, if you're able to, so you can walk around the campus, see the facilities, and maybe even talk to some current students, as some schools can feel bigger or smaller than others aside from the actual enrollment.
Regardless, hope this overview helps you in your college search!
