The students here at hofstra all dress similarly but with their own sense. Not everyone is dressed in preppy clothing, and there are always those who stick out with bright orange pants, or big hair or tie dye. Everyone adds to the character.

everyone here is different, there is no chance that someone can come here and not fit in somewhere

A majority of the student population is from Long Island, and most of those students fit the stereotype mentioned above. I myself, being from out of state, have found that I am not really very good friends with anyone from Long Island, and I think it is because they are in their own world. Because I come from a different place they do not know how to relate to someone who works for them self and has to survive without Daddy's wallet all the time like I do. My closets friends are all from out of state, and that could be because we have something in common or because we are just from a different breed from those students who come from the Island

Most of the students at Hofstra are from the New York area or New England, but a surprising amount are from further away. I've met more people from California than I would have expected, and there are also quite a few international students.

there are lots of diverse groups on campus. i have friends in many groups- LGBT, christian groups, dance teams, drama programs, etc. it's a nice mix of students

The student body is really diverse and you learn a lot from your classmates and peers even outside the classroom. You really are introduced to different perspectives, sometimes without even realizing it. It makes college exciting because you never know what or whom you'll bump into the next day.

as long as you can find your niche, you'll be fine. there are lots of diverse groups, you just have to seek them out.

The school sort of advertises how diverse the student body is; however, I have yet to really discover that diversity. The majority of kids I meet are just a short drive from campus (between 30min to 2 hours). Many seem to be well off as far as financial backgrounds go. The school is incredibly expensive and the cost is only rising.

kids have their own cliques here, like everywhere. athletes, "party" girls and boys, "academics", drama kids, etc.
