Hofstra University is a place where you can find yourself, be yourself, and express who you are. It allows students to interact and network with others within and outside of the University to improve social, networking, and individual abilities. The University opens each student's minds to strengthen their abilities and turn them into skills.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The fist tip for those who are thinking about attending Hofstra University is take your education seriously! If you come in expecting everything to come easy, it will be gone as easy as you thought when it arrives. Second tip, be yourself! Taking the time to know who you are and what you are interested in, more than putting focus on others may give you guidance toward your well planed goals. However, lastly, get involved! Sometimes a risk can benefit or hurt, but taking a risk and getting in or being denied is better than not putting any effort in and still not being a part of anything!
A quote by me, Effort is just about all it takes to put in, and what you get out, turns to be just what you make KRP.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There may be some professors who will be lenient when grading, but in order to receive leniency from the professors, a struggle of hard work and focus have to be put forth. There are some courses, depending on the majors, where there will be difficulty, but to resolve that problem, there are office hours when students can meet with the professors, one-on-one, and discuss the problems they have in their courses. Also, the University provides free tutoring in the courses where the students need help. There are very few exceptions for handing in assignments late. For example, if a student is absent for a class, the professors might let it pass if they are presented a note from an appointment or an e-mail from the student, basically explaining his/her sickness. However, that doesn't mean the assignment will be extended until that student returns. Overall, they expect students to be on top of their work just as well as professors should be on top of their teaching.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm life is good. Students can do whatever they please, just as long as the University's regulations are being followed. Meaning, they may bring friends and/or family to visit or even spend the night, but knowing their responsibilities are to be responsible for their company's actions. As far as the use of substances, that is prohibited. As far as security goes, every few weeks, if not purposely set off by the students, there will be mandatory fire drills. In each building, there are Resident Safety Representatives making sure that they regulate and be aware of who enters and exits the residential halls. Also, there are Public Safety Officers who keeps the students on campus secure. There are a few dorms that have coed floors and others that have only one sex on each floor. There is one Resident Assistant located on the halls of each building. The students can go to them for any problems that they have in the dorms or on the floors. Students have housing options to choose from. For instance, students who would love to live with a group of people, they will consider living in the suites which would be in a complex building. Those who would rather live with fewer people would consider a quadruple, which would also be in a complex building or in a tower. The towers also provide doubles and singles for the students who would rather live either with a roommate or by themselves. Within each of the dorms, there is a laundry room. Also, on there is a kitchen where food can be heated and made. Nearby the kitchens, there is a lounge where the students can relax and watch television. All in all, it is definitely an experience where students get a sense of independence, peace, and comfort.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are multiple places to eat on Hofstra's campus and many choices of food to choose from. However, if students get tired of the food on campus, there are some restaurants nearby.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The most fun happens at events. Event schedules get emailed to students. For relaxation, there is a gym where students go to break a sweat and relieve stress. There is a museum on campus where students learn about different art. The library and computer lab is open to students looking for somewhere to study quietly. Additionally, there is student employment for the students looking to work.
