== Campus == LIU Post is located on {{convert|307|acre|km2}} of rolling hills in [[Brookville, New York]], on Long Island's [[North Shore (Long Island)|North Shore]]. The area is sometimes datelined as [[Greenvale, New York|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 (LIRR station)|Greenvale station]] is 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. 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.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tillescenter.org/|title=Tilles Center for the Performing Arts |website= tillescenter.org|access-date= 14 August 2018}}</ref> The Hillwood Commons serves as the student activities center, and also houses several administrative offices, including financial aid and bursars office, as well as the Promise office which handles all student day-to-day activities (classes, student organizations, housing, etc).<ref>https://liu.edu/student-success/liu-promise/co-curricular-learning-outcomes {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref> 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.

Included among its notable architectural features are a domed rotunda at the main sanctuary, as well as soaring [[Doric Order|Doric]] columns at the main entrance which call to mind the ancient Roman [[Pantheon, Rome|Pantheon]].<ref>{{cite web | url= http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.820140&lon=-73.591669&z=19&m=w&show=/34012513/C-W-Post-Interfaith-Chapel | title = C.
