I have been debating this for years as I have attended two on Long Island. I think Adelphi and LIU are the best. Narrowing it down to one I find difficult though!
LOL, some people claim that the two schools I mentioned are not Ivy League schools when they clearly are. They are both private and really expensive, catering to upscale students for the most part. Academic standards are high too.

You and Y and Matt J should all chat about this compelling subject that has plagued mankind since the first Ivy League school was opened on Long Island......which I believe was Nassau Community College.

there is no Ivy League school on Long Island. The closest Ivy League school would be Columbia University, in NYC. Just b/c a school is private, expensive, doesn't make it Ivy League. The female equivalent are the Seven Sisters; though most, though not all, of both have gone co-ed.

The Ivy League is an athletic league made up of eight high quality private universities. There are other private universities that are not in the Ivy League that are of similar quality -- for example, Duke, Chicago and Stanford.
Neither of the schools you mention are high quality. Adelphi is ranked as a third tier National university by US news (by contrast, all of the real Ivy League schools are near the top of the first tier). LIU is listed as a fourth tier national university. Since there are only four tiers, it does not count as high quality. Even St Johns (hardly a high quality school) is better.
There are no first tier schools on Long Island. The only second tier school is SUNY-Stony Brook -- which is not private.
No one in his right mind thinks that either Adelphi or LIU are ivy league -- or even ivy league quality.

You may want to read this article so you can better understand what the term Ivy League means.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League
There are only 8 Ivy Leagues as others have listed. There are no Ivy Leagues on Long Island itself. The closest is Columbia University in Manhattan.
You may want to look at this list, it shows the national rank of the top 124 schools in the country.

Adelphi and LIU may be really good universities, but still not Ivy Leagues... the Ivies are Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell and Columbia...
Anyway... i guess Adelphi is better...
GOOD LUCK

Your question is unanswerable because you don't know what an Ivy League university is. Being expensive doesn't make a university "Ivy League."
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Penn are the schools of the Ivy League. The Ivy League is an actual organization, not an idea.

Um. They are definitely not in the Ivy League.
Even without the Ivy League, they are not considered to be great schools (academically speaking)
I am a senior at a private school right now (from Manhattan), and if I went to either of those schools, it would be sort of an embarrassment.
