LIU class of 2026 here.
I have really enjoyed my first year so far, and I’m glad I chose to come here rather than go to Ross. My professors are all great, it’s stressful but that’s to be expected.
As far as remediation they may adjust the policy as they evolve the program. As of now you can remediate your final exam if it drops you below passing (you were passing before the final). Passing is 70%, you can do this 3x is what I have been told. If you fail a class you can come back with the next class, repeat the course then join that class. There are a few people in my class who were originally class of 2025, but had to remediate and are now apart of c/o 2026. Maybe 1-2 students left from our class after our first semester. I can’t say if it was as personal reasons vs failing a class.
Pros:
-Since it’s a new school there are a lot of opportunities to get involved and help shape things for future students, like starting clubs etc.
- NYC is nearby and lots of opportunities in the area
- Lots of amazing clinical partners
- The school very much cares about animal welfare
Cons:
- Not only is LIU expensive, Long Island/NYC is an incredibly expensive place to live (rent is crazy), probably much higher COL than Iowa
- On campus housing is awful from what I hear, and I would avoid it if you can.
