One World-Famous City, Two Different Experiences

Located in New York, LIU gives you the choice to live and study in thriving downtown Brooklyn or on our traditional Post campus out on Long Island.

Studying at LIU will allow you to achieve your career dreams while making the most of the amazing New York City lifestyle. New York is America’s biggest and most diverse city. There are more than 800 languages spoken here – with over a third of people living here born outside the U.S. In fact, LIU is in the top 10% of U.S. schools for racial-ethnic diversity (Collegefactual.com).

LIU offers students the unique opportunity to choose between our urban campus in the heart of Brooklyn, New York City, or our traditional Post campus on the coast of Long Island. Finding your perfect student hometown will allow you to feel comfortable from the start and get the most from your studies. Whether you’d like to study by the beach, or soak up the buzz of the city, LIU can offer you the college experience of your dreams.
