Hofstra University Top Questions

I would make sure that we stop accepting Long Island girls.

the tulips!! i love the tulips! yeah dizzy's!!

The best thing about Hofstra is the community that we have in some of the buildings.

things to look out for in the future: presidential debates, medical school, 'greening' campus

The best thing about Hofstra is being involved in Honors College. I have met so many awesome people and had so many opportunities that would not be possible if I weren't in Honors College. The school is pretty much the perfect size. Now that the weather is nice I spend most of my time lying outside in the quad.

The best thing about Hofstra is the availability of scholarships and the worst thing about Hofstra is the staff in most offices.

There are three really awesome things about Hofstra that tie for "the best thing about Hofstra". One- the Honors College is great. The events they put on, the program itself, and the staff that work in the department are all fantastic. Two- the Music Department is amazing. The faculty are brilliant and humorous, and love what they teach, and the students in the department are hard working and kind. Three- the campus is absolutely beautiful, especially in the spring. I really like the size of the school, but that's because I'm in a relatively small Department. The balance is great: the school is pretty big so it has a lot of options for events and dining and meeting new people, but the Music Department is small enough to know everyone and make close friends. I spend most of my time on campus. And most of my on campus time is spend in the music building... practicing, rehearsing, etc. There are two things that I would change about Hofstra. One- the financial system kind of stinks. I've had a problem every single semester with financial aid and/or student accounts where incorrect amounts have been put on my account, or my aid changes and I'm not notified, or fees appear for no good reason... in general, things here cost A TON, and Hofstra tends to take money from you any opportunity they get. Two- the dorming situation. Freshmen are given the best options and then are kicked out of their living space after their first year. The options for upperclassmen are limited.

its just the right size, honors college makes it feel small enough. you can get close to your teachers if you want to.

A school that seems smaller than the actual numbers. I swear I know everyone on this campus already, but it's suitable for most people I suppose. The campus is beautiful, it's a national arboredum, classes are great, and professors are definitely varied. The campus is small, and there is not much to do in the surrounding area, except maybe go and drink. Administration is cool, but public safety can be a bitch when they are trying to meet the quota at the end of the month.

Hofstra is a nice school. The campus is beautiful and the surrounding area has plenty to do, but it is not exactly a college town. I'm not sure it would be entirely safe to go wandering in Hempstead, but I think it gets exaggerated by students. I really like the size of the school, it's pretty large, but not "state school" big.
