LIU Post (formally, the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, and often referred to as C.W. Post) is a private university in Brookville, New York. It is the largest campus of the private Long Island University system.

Three years after it acquired the property, LIU renamed it C.W. Post College in honor of Post's father. CampusEdit LIU Post is located on 307 acres (1.24 km2) of rolling hills in the Village of Brookville, New York (on Long Island's North Shore). The area is sometimes datelined as Greenvale, because there is no "Brookville" post office, and the school is in the zip code that is served by the Greenvale post office, which is to the west. "Greenvale" is also the name of the nearest Long Island Rail Road station. Humanities Hall and Life Sciences/Pell Hall are the main educational buildings on campus, and house most of the core curriculum classes. Classes are also held in Hoxie Hall, Roth Hall, Lorber Hall, the Theater Film and Dance building, Sculpture Studio, Crafts Center, Fine Arts Center, B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library, and the Kahn Discovery Center. Kumble Hall serves as the Student Services building and houses the Registrar, Bursar, Records and Registration, Financial Aid, Academic Counseling, and Professional Experience and Career Planning (PEP) offices. The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts is on the west side of the campus. Previously known as the Bush-Brown Concert Theater (named for the longtime Long Island University chancellor Dr. Albert Bush-Brown), the Tilles Center has hosted many musical and theatrical events. The Hillwood Commons serves as the student activities center, and also has several administrative offices. Hillwood has a study lounge, commuter lounge, recreation lounge, and TV lounge (located on opposite sides of the two-story building) that are open as long as Hillwood is open. The Hillwood Cafe, Subway, and Starbucks are all located here, and serve as the main dining areas, along with the Winnick Student Center. The Hillwood Commons serves as a meeting area for resident and commuter students to get to know each other through informal association outside of the classroom. The Hillwood Commons area also houses the Student Technology Center, Hillwood Computer Lab, Hillwood Cinema, and Steinberg Museum of Art at Hillwood. The university's landmark C. W. Post Interfaith Chapel is the home of the Interfaith Center which provides both religious services as well as partnerships with community organizations.[5][6] The chapel was first conceived in 1968 by Bradley Delehanty and completed by the noted Long Island architectural firm Alfred Shaknis and Peter S. van Bloem in the classic Jeffersonian style Georgian architecture design as a tribute to all religious faiths. Included among its notable architectural features are a domed rotunda at the main sanctuary, as well as soaring Doric columns at the main entrance which call to mind the ancient Roman Pantheon. Residence life Students may live in one of the eight residence halls on campus. All are co-ed, with males and females divided by floor or wing. Each hall accommodates from 40 to 380 students. Five of the residence halls – Brookville, Kings, Queens, Post and Riggs – offer traditional-style living. The South Residence Complex (Suites) features an all-suite design, with up to eight students sharing a common living area, double bedrooms and a semi-private bath area. This layout is popular with upper-class students who want to share living accommodations with a group of friends. Suffolk and Nassau offer more specialized options. Suffolk Hall is a traditional-style hall designed for 24-hour intensified study for students who prefer a quiet, academic-centered environment. Nassau Hall offers the additional benefit of long-stay accommodations over vacations and in between semesters for students who are from out of state. Every residence hall has lounges for relaxation or study, as well as laundry facilities. Many of the dorms have been criticized as being poorly maintained by students in The Pioneer, the weekly campus newspaper. In 2007, a dorm room in Riggs Hall was completely scorched by an electrical fire. The students were not in the room at the time, but their belongings were destroyed. The school claimed no responsibility although the residents told the student newspaper they had complained about black outlets shortly before the fire. In 2006 CW Post Residence Life was sued for dismissing a group of RAs for making a video exercising their freedom of speech. The students obtained a lawyer and the university agreed to pay their legal fees if the students dropped the lawsuit and signed a non-disclosure contract. LIU Post offers undergraduate and graduate programs in the following colleges and schools: College of Communications, Art, and Design College of Liberal Arts and Sciences College of Management College of Education, Information and Technology School of Health Professions and Nursing Rebranding campaign On January 1, 2012, Long Island University rebranded itself as LIU. A simplified logo was introduced, replacing the Long Island map and the words "Long Island University" with the bold letters "LIU" and a triangle. The logo's upward triangle, the Greek symbol of delta, symbolizes upward movement and change. The names of LIU's six campuses also received shorter designations, uniting them under the new LIU brand. The C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University became known as LIU Post.
