Hofstra University Top Questions

I feel the size of Hofstra is perfect. It is not too big and not too small. However the one problem that is a common issue is the matter of suffienct parking. It can take up to 45 minutes to find a parking space at times which can be extremely frustrating. However the campus itself is very easy on the eyes, easy to navigate, and welcoming in general. The first time I was ever on campus I felt like I belonged.

The best thing about Hofstra is the location and the professors. Many of the professors work in the industries. Internships are easy to get because of location and that seems to be a reason a lot of people go there. The administration does not seem to give a damn about anyone other than the incoming freshman which is a pain in the ass, but from what I hear from other people, that is how it is everywhere. The food service is horrible and students are working to hcange it.

When I tell people from back home from Boston they say "Oh wow, that's a good school" But when I tell people around here, especially guys, they immediately think I'm easy and not so bright.

I really love the size of Hofstra, not too big or too small. I also really love the location because while we are on Long Island the city is not too far away and we can head there for school projects or just fun on the weekends.

I love Hofstra. I think that when I first came here the number one complaint was that there wasn't enough community campus-wide. The doors on the floor were never open. Now however, Hofstra has pushed a lot of their extra curriculars for students to get involved on campus and within the halls. Hall Councils have played a much larger roll in the halls and more residents are keeping doors open (because we no longer have slam locks) and interacting with one another. I think the Resident Assistants play a large roll in this.

People know Hofstra as teh Jew chool, and we have alot of them. For gosh sakes, who's our President? Stuart Rabinowitz??

i feel very safe on campus. i would chance the prices of the food, it's too expensive. i think the campus is neither too large or too small, it's a good size. when people hear that i go to hofstra they usually say "wow, thats such an expensive school." they seem very impressed. something unusual about hofstra is that there are tons of cats on campus and some people leave food out for them.

i wish we had more school spirit, like more fans at sporting events. the size is perfect for me, might be too small for others, but i love knowing that i will always see someone i know while walking around campus. hempstead sucks. its scary. hooters is nice to have, and so is the witches' brew. and its good having roosevelt field so close. and dizzy's is fun once in a while.but usually its best to spend the 12 bucks and go into the city. i spend most of my time in the dorms just chilling with my friends. people tend to complain about the food, but honestly, we have a pretty good variety of options. it would be nice if the food seemed a little more fresh.

Some people react negatively when I tell them what school I go to, especially people who attend different schools on Long Island. I spend most of my time in my dorm, mostly because most of my friends live there and I love the feeling of community that is in my complex. There's not really a 'college town'; I'm actually not that comfortable going off of campus on foot by myself.

Nobody has any school pride.
