The students on campus are very open minded. The students here are very diverse and no one finds it odd. There are groups, but its not based on race or religion. Students tend to hang out more with people who have similar majors or are in similar clubs, but they aren't objective to seeing other people. A lot of the students here are from Long Island or New York in general but then there are also people from places like Ohio (me for example) and California and Oregon and Colorado, Hofstra students come from all over the place. The students here all have their own passion; some are very active in the arts, some are very active in politics, and some are just passionate about their major. There really is a place for everyone on campus.

There are about a billion socio-cultural groups and clubs on campus. You're definitely going to find a niche where you fit in. Although these certain clubs do exist, don't be surprised if certain prejudices occur, because I've seen it happen. Most students here are either politically left of center, or don't care about politics at all. Hofstra is similar to a high school, where you'll find different groups of people where you can fit in, but there's little interaction between the groups.

I find the body to be very diverse. Almost 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the study body is from out of state. Also i feel that there is greater diversity on this campus than there are on other campuses. I work with several members of the LGBT community, they're really cool doods.

I do not particularly enjoy a majority of the students. Many, many are self-involved. I find it especially disheartening that students do not partake in the opportunities that Hofstra provides via guest speakers (in a wide variety of topics). A majority of the audience is always 65 plus.

The students here are all very different; there is an abundance of diversity. There is always somewhere for someone to fit in. Everyone here is also very open to others opinions and ways of life.

Uggs and stretchy pants. Gag me. I notice that the most, simply because you tend to notice the things you hate over the things you have no opinion over. I live in a Chem bubble, so I rarely eat in the student center enough to know the 4 tables or the political views. I don't like politics so I really don't care. People here are generally nice, but spoiled.
Matthew
I hear name calling a lot on campus.

Everyone loves each other. Seriously. We're a big happy 8,000 undergraduate student family.

Gays are awesome! Socially awkward people would feel out of place

Alot of Hofstra Students come from Long Island, but also alot of my friends are from New England, California, and New Jersey
