Hofstra University Top Questions

Hofstra combines the feeling of a large university out on its own with the proximity to one of the biggest cities in the world allowing for a combination of two diverse educational environments at one institution.

The diversity present at Hofstra is near astonishing. With all of the different kinds of people with such unique experiences who come from a wide range of places, including many international students, there's an incredible amount to learn from all of the students. The welcoming atmosphere among the variety of people is one of the best things any college could ever offer.

My school is a suburban school located right next to a major urban center (New York City) with reliable public transport, whereas the other schools I looked at were either urban (in the middle of the city), suburban (with no reliable public transportation in to the urban center), or rural. My school also has an actual campus, where the urban and even some suburban ones did not have a true campus to speak of.

It is big enough to feel like a large univerity but not too big so that it overwhelms you. Also, for me, it is close enough to be able to get home relatively easily but feel far enough away that I do not go home often. Finally, it is well located in the fact we have easy access to all of the benefits of city and Long Island.

Hofstra is underrated. It is a much better school than long islanders give it credit for. Academically it is very good along with job prospects. Students do not always take full potential of either however. There are so many events going on and speakers. The administration needs to allocate more money to make it feel more residential and build more dorms while improving the old ones with a lower price tag for those residing in them. They are more expensive than they are worth.

Just come visit. I promise you'll find your niche here, and the faculty will help you pursue it. And you'll meet the absolute best people, as long as you choose to surround yourself with people like you. Come see for yourself:)

It has a publishing studies program that I wanted to persue that is very rare. The advisor worked in publishing as president of a big company for most of his life and has connections that can get me a job anywhere.

The best and most unique feature of Hofstra is the small classrooms. Each student gets a chance to speak one on one with the professor in a school, which has the resources of a much larger university. I believe the quality of education that is provided by Hofstra University is unmatched.

Hofstra is large campus, but feels like a small close knit school.

Hofstra University is a very competitive school.What i experienced in Hofstra as a transfer student is that the school is designed to aim for the best not better.In my previous school, i always had atleast couple A's but it is very hard to do so in Hofstra. The school is really challenging and in order to be successful in such school, you need to spend the most time you have to study.
