Hofstra University Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at Hofstra University?

Jamie

The students are mostly careless, mostly from the island, it is a "party school", it's not a "real school"... that's all I can think of at the moment.

Alexandra

That they're idiots.

Elana

The biggest stereotype I heard before I came to Hofstra was that it was a big party school. Also once I came here, the stereotype of Long Island girls that were only accepted because of Daddy's money.

Joe

The students sleep with their teachers to get passing grades.

Alana

They live in their own bubble. They wear ugg boots.

Joe

Erin

Leggings and Ugg boots. Also STD's.

Beth

Lots of STDs, don't work very hard

Katy

That the "Hofstra girls" wear uggs and miniskirts, and in general dress inappropriately. That the students are rich and their parents buy their expensive cars and pay for their education. That Hofstra has two types of people- those who party all the time and do nothing else, and those who study all the time and do nothing else

Laura

That everyone is rich, from long island, and have stds

Hofstra girls are said to be ditzy, spoiled, materialistic, rude, and in most cases, Jewish. While the boys that court these so called JAP's (Jewish American Princesses), are often recognized to be tan and well-manicured themselves, their snappy, nose-to-the-sky attitudes don't prove them to be any more refined then their appearances portray them to be.

Ben

I dunno. Maybe rich kids, seeing as it is kind of an expensive school?

Naomi

Hofstra stereotypes are that the students are all rich, snobby, trashy guys and girls that just want to drink and party all the time with no consequences.

Steve

One stereotype is that Hofstra is for rich Jewish kids, another is that there are a lot of STDs on campus.

Ash

Typical Long Island kids with their parent's money

Alexis

Ugg boots, guidos, fake tans, big glasses, stupid people, lazy, sorority girls with STDs.

Mike

That we're a bunch of flashy, spoiled Long Island kids.
