It’s no wonder Garden City, a village of about 20,000 residents, earned a rare overall A+ by Niche.com in Best Suburbs to Live in New York category. This Long Island locale is filled with shops, restaurants, pubs, architectural gems, historic landmarks, museums and recreational activities.
- Catch the Panther Express to downtown Garden City, just a mile from campus. Here, you’ll find all the essentials for everyday life, from the bank and post office to grocery stores and pharmacies. Hit Seventh Street to explore the boutiques or grab lunch. Head to Roosevelt Field for some serious shopping or to a community park to take a break from studying.
- You can also hop on the Long Island Railroad—the nearest stop is just four blocks from campus—to reach transportation hubs, Long Island’s famous beaches and other shopping, dining and entertainment destinations; and of course, our nearby neighbor, New York City.
- Personalized attention in a bustling city. Adelphi’s Manhattan Center offers flexible, convenient programs designed for working professionals. You’ll find us in the SoHo district at historic One Hudson Square.
- Easy commute. Excellent community. Our Lower Manhattan location, at 75 Varick Street, offers easy access to students from anywhere in the tristate area.
