Among 37 NY 2-year peers in this comparison, Suffolk County Community College is larger than 97% and safer-reporting than 56% - the larger, safer-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 19,973 enrolled students, Suffolk County Community College is the 210th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,375 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College (0.25/1k); CUNY Kingsborough Community College (0.17/1k); CUNY LaGuardia Community College (0.07/1k); Nassau Community College (0.81/1k); CUNY Queensborough Community College (0.48/1k); SUNY Westchester Community College (0.85/1k); Hudson Valley Community College (0.22/1k); Monroe Community College (2.43/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (Portland State University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What actually gets reported at Suffolk County Community College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Fondling.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Suffolk County Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $5,258, Suffolk County Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 6% among 326 New York colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,940.

- average net price

- New York median
- 4.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $9,371
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $2,393, while those above $110,000 record $11,764 - roughly 4.9 times as much. A published average of $5,258 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $38,316 - about 7.3 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 27% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
