Hofstra University Top Questions

The cost is the worst thing about this school. This education comes with a hefty price tag at around $60,000 a year. Apparently the average mid term salary is 90k so hopefully the debt I am going to have will be able to be paid off with my future salary.

Hofstra is GREAT for those who are interested in greek life and enjoy the party scene.

I find the worst thing about my university is that there is no academic help center with professional staff available durung "normal school hours",only graduate or undergraduate students as tudors and is only available i during the evening hours.

The only real problem that I see with Hofstra is that it is located next to an area that has a fairly high crime rate and it's not always safe to walk around the surrounding off-campus area at night. Hofstra does have a great amount of security, making it much safer on campus. There is also a twenty four hour bus that takes students to the train station, making it a safer travel option than walking. Even with the problems involving the surrounding area, I still feel safe on campus.

I really don't like some of the adjunct teacher's attitudes. Some care, but most don't care about the students. the think they are the best and end up talking about what they like and trying to force students to believe what they believe instead of teaching the subject. its quite annoying.

The worst aspect of Hofstra is the size. Although they guaranteed small class sizes, for the most part my classes are filled to the maximum, and last semester very few of my professors couldn't even remember my name. I am a strong student who is always willing to particpate and shows an interest in class, but was just not given the opprotunity. This made my grades suffer and discouraged me from wanting to learn.

The worst thing about Hofstra University is that they do not help students to find a variety of financial resources to help them pay their tuition. They quickly advise students without reviewing their financial history to constantly take out loans. Aside from lack of financial advice, they are very limited with their departments. My biology courses were mostly marine biology based and not pre-dental biology as my focus.

Some of the food quality isn't the best. And it is a little too expensive. Also, I don't know why the tuition is so expensive. They are always redoing the plant and flower beds on campus, and I think we are paying for it.

I am from Colorado, so having the many different weeks off are hard because all my friends go home and I'm stuck in the dorm by myself. I get really lonely sometimes and homesick because I know I won't see my parents until Christmas break becuase we don't have the money to fly me back and forth for the other holidays. Not seeing family and friends for breaks is definately the hardest thing here for me to deal with.
