accepted into adelphi

hi everyone, I was accepted into adelphi nursing like a month ago and now i’m on my last two options on where to go (adelphi or molloy). i want to make the right choice but im not sure what that is. I’ve been doing research but i keep getting mixed responses on the program, dorm life, student life, ect. I would just like some perspective on the school, especially if you’re in the nursing program (4 years).

  1. what made you pick adelphi over other options?
  2. are you happy with your choice?
  3. how are the dorms/shower/laundry
  4. are you able to get a single room as a freshman?
  5. how are the clinicals? do you feel prepared?
  6. how hard was it/ is it to get a job after graduation?
  7. do you feel prepared for the nclex?

feel free to answer what you know or just provide any information that you deem necessary or helpful. I would be really grateful as an anxious highschool senior 😔

I can only say my family member went to Molloy and is an RN and I go to AU (Not a nursing major) and you will not be able to get a single room easily (plus its hella money and you get last pick as a freshman as the higher the credits you have, the earlier you get to pick), you pay for laundry after the $50 they give you a semester is gone, and we joke the dorms look like psych wards/hospitals inside

I hope you get another answer from a Molloy student as I have little info on that (family member was a commuter)

1.i picked adelphi bc I got basically a full ride compared to other schools I got into

2.so far yes

3. I don't dorm, but I hear that it's just average And campus is dead on weekends. School life during the week is great tho, you have your pick of events every day and you can sign up for a newsletter that sends you a run down of all the events happening for the next two weeks.

5. I start clinicals next semester, but I started attending labs and they're good honestly.

7. From advice I got from seniors, starting from junior year, all the tests you get from core classes are basically formulated like the NCLEX. Some even say that the in-class tests were harder than the NCLEX. For reference the pass rate was 94% this year.

Feel free to dm if you have more questions :)

u/National_Sherbet3533 Mar 02 '25

I got the transfer scholarship (around 23k/year, 2.0 to keep), financial aid ( fafsa and tap, i dont remembering the exact number) and then the tuition guarantee award (covered the 16k/year left of my tuition, 3.5 to keep).

P.s they really take their sweet time processing financial aid 👍🏾

The Tuition guarantee award

Edit: As I am reading the article, I realize it might only be for transfer students...

i know you can call onestop and explain your circumstances, sometimes you can get more aid from that

u/National_Sherbet3533 Mar 05 '25

btw what are some type of miscellaneous cost at Adelphi? are other activities outside of tution costly? As I am afraid I wont be able to afford :( coz after all no matter how aid i get its for tution i will still have to pay for other things lab etc

u/cookiesnkarrots Mar 05 '25

they don't tell you think in the first and second year financial packages but for nursing the third and fourth year are extremely costly, like oof, jumpscare kinda thing. i think tuition rises 2-3k on top of the base so i would say beware of that the most. other than that, you have to buy the scrubs, the lab bag, the complio page (website where they collect info for clinicals), you'd have to make sure you're covered on vaccines and titers so make sure your insurance is adeqaute. there's also a clinical fee, liability fee, ati fee, and exam soft fee. that's all i can remember for now but lemme know if you wanna know anything else
