Hofstra University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Hofstra University accurate?

Joe

No

Sharon

This is completely untrue. I have no idea where this rumor came from, but more than one person told it to me when I first came here. I guess they weren't paying attention in history class because New York was part of the North, and Hofstra was founded in the 1930s, not the 1800s.

Tammy

Absolutely not, if the entire school population was like this I would have transferred out a long time ago. Every school that you go to, you'll find someone who fits the above category (just maybe not specifically from Long Island). Hofstra has their fair share of the frat boys/sorority girls who care more about parties than school, but thats a very small percent. Most of the students here are indeed here to learn.

Christine

yeah, pretty much.

John

Completely. Almost every student I've met have lead up to those standards.

Lindsey

Sometimes, yes.

Lorie

Not at all; yes there are some people who fit this description but it is only a stereotype, its not applicable to all.

Brianna

Yes.

Alyssa

to an extent

Matthew

Not at all. There is always something to do. If you can't find something to do you have to be walking around with you're eyes closed.
