Hofstra has been everything I wanted in a school and more! Literally it's a fairly small sized school, but the resources and connections are endless. Their programs are very well established and it's easy to study diverse subjects.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit campus, see for yourself. Meet Hofstra people & see if you would like being around them. Everyone's pretty diverse and there's always something to get involved in.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It depends on the major, but overall it's pretty tough. They want you to be challenged, but that's the only way you'll grow, right? There's people that help too though, if you're struggling. And every professor is available sometime during the week.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great! You can hang out with friends at anytime, and in the towers bathrooms are cleaned twice a day. In the suites you have to clean it.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I realy like the food. Every break they switch out one of the dining options. This semester there's a new Mediterranean stand with pita and stuff...yeah...it's great. :)
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's so many clubs that get together and have a blast. Every weekednd, there's a show to see, party to go to, or free trip to the city you can sign up for. I'm never board.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Yes it's expensive as sh... But it's honestly a great place to live and work. Buildings and hangout spots are constantly being renovated, clubs get money for stuff all the time, and there's so many connections with NYC it's worth it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There's a really cool dutch festival each spring, And they plant a new tulip for each incoming freshman. :)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone, honestly. Bio, Engineering, Business, Drama, Film, Journalism, Marketing, Teaching, pre-med/law if you want to have a career and love the process of earning that interview... come to Hofstra :)
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
EVERYTHING! Coloring, service projects, student gov, comedy, performance, religious, ultimate frisbee, language/cultural groups ... Literally everything.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
About 10% is in greek life, it's there if you want it, but if you don't you're not out
Also there's pre-professional sororities and frats too, which is pretty cool.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
On campus you're gouchi, but it's always smart to go in groups in the surrounding areas. Public safety is top notch, and they even can pick you up from the train station if you missed the bus back to school or something.
