How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Hofstra Public Safety does an extremely good job at keeping this campus safe. In three years I have never felt scared to walk the campus at night. After 10pm the campus is basically shut down from the outside and Public Safety works 24/7 if they're ever needed.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Definitely join clubs and get invovled on campus. When it's warmer there's beaches in every direction, there's a huge mall 10 minutes away, and there's also the city. The city is a 40 minute train ride from Hofstra and that is always very fun to go to.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I'm a very picky eater, so I find it hard to find food I like. If i wasn't so picky I think I would eat way more here but another thing again is the price. Each year they raise prices on all the food and that too is getting so expensive that people are just going to the store and buying their food from there.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Any club you can think of, it's here. We have all sorts of sports club and social clubs and just for fun clubs. If you don't see a club you like, you can always just start your own but there are many to choose from that are very active in the Hofstra community.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hofstra is a very liberal school. There are tons of international students, black students, white students, non-binary students, homosexuals. Basically if you're a human being, Hofstra is the place for you. We also have a lot of disabled kids here and Hofstra is very accommodating towards them.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Since this school is private, it's extremely expensive. Sometimes I don't know if it's worth it going here because I'm probably going to be paying off loans for the next 50 years. Even things like food and extra fees or anything, it's very very expensive.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I am not involved in Greek Life but I know a lot of people that are and it's very active. They have off campus housing and there's always events going on. And yes, they do throw big parties and do a lot of things for Greek Life.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are a lot of weird statues on campus and annual things that Hofstra does. Every year they plant one tulip for each student that goes to Hofstra and that is very pretty.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It depends on the classes you take, but advice from me is to look the professor up on Rate My Professor while registering for classes. Usually it's not the classes themselves that are hard, it's the professors that makes it really hard.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I've dormed all my 3 years at Hofstra and the only complaint is that it's extremely expensive. Kids are starting to find places off campus simply because they can't afford to live at Hofstra. The dorms are nice depending on what one you stay in and they have updated a lot of them, but the cost is definitely a downer.
Describe your college in three sentences.
I love Hofstra and I'm so glad I chose to come here. The campus is beautiful and they are always doing their best to make sure everything looks good. They have a bunch of different food and everyone that goes here is so accepting.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Definitely get invovled with campus activities because that's where you'll meet new friends and have the most fun. Also, take advantage of the fact that NYC is 40 minutes away by train ride, there is so much to see and do in the city.
