Hofstra University Top Questions

I would say that the stereotypes about the students aren't accurate at all. Guidos and typical Long Island girls make up a very small percentage of people on campus and most of them are commuters anyway, so they're seen much less. I think that Hofstra has a very diverse campus of students. The Hofstra run-around is probably true for some. I've never experienced it for myself, but others close to me have.

for the most part, yes

the diseases are false. recent studies show that the reports indicate we're clean... as far as the "hofstra red." the student accusations are true.

Pretty much. There are a few bright stars among the sour apples, however.

Some people are like that, but certainly not all.

I feel that this can happen on any college campus. Especially since I am a commuter I have never attended any parties on campus or gone to the bars near by so I haven't noticed why this stereotype exists.

Mostly- yes.

Girls do dress nicely but some don't - i've been on college campuses way more preppy than hofstra. Some people are stuck up but some are not. Its a very diverse place. There are a ton of different people.

Every stereo-type can hold true for someone, but Hofstra's stereotype isn't accurate on the whole. I'm an athiest, poor, intelligent, and a psych major and have found an amazing niche in the honors college at hofstra. And all those girls that are pin-pointed as 'jappy and bitchy' are pretty nice if you get to know them.

i have found that i encountered many "long island girls" who seem to promote that view, although they might actually be very intelligent
