Review of Hofstra University

from Romeoville, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors I have had so far are very informative. They give great lectures. There are notes you need to take but it is pretty simple. The grading system is pretty fair and if you participate and show the professor that you are trying, it will help. Each class I have taken has helped me not only academically, but has also taught me how to be a better person.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The school is good for academics, but has a ton of opportunities for fun as well. Plenty of Division 1 sporting events to attend through out the year and there are also plays and musicals all the time. There are clubs and many events put on for freshmen to help them get through their first year.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

While it is expensive, you get a lot for what you pay for. The school has free laundry service, a fall festival with impressive music acts, and you get into all of the sporting events and plays for free. In the dorms, you also get free wi-fi and free cable. There are many events that could easily cost money, but the university covers. There are free trips to the city as well. Trips to museums and events in New York City are exciting and fun.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get your application and paperwork in early. It will help you get it back faster. Visit the campus to make sure you like it, which you most likely will. Talk to people that have went there and maybe even talk to a professor or two if you visit.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for people that are very social. It's a school that is very diverse and has many different types of people. It is great for people that enjoy classes and branching out to learn things you might not usually think about. There are people from all over the country and the world, it is a great school for people that like meeting new people.
