I wish we had a college town
Tulips are lovely in the spring time- the campus is really maintained well

hofstra is a great place! There are lots of different people and you can always find something to be involved with. it does lack a collegetown but it still is a great community

The school is a really great size. It's about 13,000 students total, including grad and undergrad. It's great because it's bigger than my high school, so I get that college feeling. At the same time though it's not overwhelmingly massive; I can still see people I know on the way to class. The way campus is set up, dividing the residential and academic sides, also really helps because when you see your friends on the academic side, for example, you know you can't talk long because you're both probably going to class, etc.

Students care very little. There are a lot of clubs and organizations, but a very small percentage of the student body gets involved. there is no relationship between Hofstra and the local community. It is the absolute oposite of a college town. The various administrations know nothing but their own individual positions, if that. You always get sent from department to department on the "Hofstra shuffle" while trying to get answers.

Great school. Good size to get around and looks nice. People respect Hofstra, especially sports. Administration is alright. Food's not the best but alright.
Sarah
Located in not the greatest neighborhood, but just outside of great areas and only 30 minutes by train from the city. My favorite things about hofstra are the location (closeness to the city) and their flexibility with double majors
Shawn
The school is just the right size, lots of campus involvement and pride. Good school to go to.

It's a great school that is not very well appreciated, by the surrounding area at least. It is situated in a beautiful arboretum and is a diverse learning environment.

the location is great (close to new york but still has greenery and space). the residential buildings are ugly as hell, the academic buildings are pretty on the outside but on the inside they could use some work. i pay too much money for things that are unnecessary and the price of food is out of control. the faculty is pretty good overall...a lot of experience, but theyre all not going to be perfect every time. the career center is great. there is no pride for the pride....people need to get into the college atmosphere more. overall, though its everything i need...but we could use more things that i would enjoy for all the money i pay. the town is not a college town...no real cool places to just hang out and chill without paying way too much money for it....things could change, but it is satisfactory.
