I think Hofstra students are known to be very smart. Hofstra is known for several of its programs, particularly Law, Communications, and Education. If you have a degree in one of those fields, people are going to want to hire you (or so I've heard). However, there are also some negative stereotypes. People seem to think that we're all rich, bratty, stereotypical "Long Island" kids. The problem with this is that some professors act that way. They don't understand that sometimes we have to work and that our parents just don't hand us all the money in the world.
