C.W.+Post+College

C.W. Post College http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/pr/about/abt.html C.W. Post is a good college if you want to major in Education. It was one of the first schools to offer certification in Special Education and the program now is very good. The college is close to New York City, also has a good fine arts department, and a beautiful campus. It's pretty small, and quite expensive. When I graduated, which was in the seventies (Yes, I am very old), the majority of students were from the NY/NJ/CT area, and most came from upper middle class families, unless, like me, they were on scholarships. At that time, many students were more concerned with socializing than with education. I heard from a friend whose daughter just graduated that there are now more serious students, but, of course, still many opportunities to party. C.W. Post was a really easy college to get accepted into way back when, but the students who call me every year for my contribution to their scholarship fund have assured me that admission requirements and academics are far more rigorous. I graduated from Post with a neutral to negative feeling about it, but given recent improvements, I would take my own children to look at C.W. Post if they were interested, hope they got some scholarship money, and tell them to make their own decisions. Pat Politi
