Hofstra University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Hofstra University accurate?

Jamie

Yes, for the most part. There are exceptions, there are good people, but for the most part it's true.

Alexandra

Yes.

Elana

Like any other college, Hofstra is a party school if you want it to be, there are always parties going on, but they aren't so overpowering on campus that if you don't want to go, there's no pressure. As for the Long Island girl, there are some that fit this stereotype, but most of the people that you meet are "normal" and have earned their spot on campus.

Ding Ding Ding...although, there are definitely diverse groups that have ntohing to do with these people.

Sometimes. Not all of us, though. Me included.

Naomi

While there are many people who fit that description, there definitely is a larger part of the student body that does not.

Steve

Not really, most of the people I know come from a variety of religious and economic backgrounds and none of them have STDs

Ash

Yes and no, just like the real world, some people live up to the stereotypes but most do not

Alexis

There are a lot of people who fit the appearance stereotypes. And a lot of lazy and dumb people as well. So I guess yes.

Mike

Some are a bunch of flashy, spoiled Long Island kids. But more than 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the undergrads are from outside NY State. Most of us are perfectly normal. Even the LI kids are normal. It's merely a stereotype.
