Hofstra University Top Questions

Don't treat college like high school because you'll regret not putting full effort into the work you submit to your professors.

I wish I knew how to budget better.

I wish I knew how large the school of business was. Not just in actual size but in ideal. The school I attended previously was smaller, more community-based, so move love for business and serving the community grew. In Hofstra, it was diluted with big exec talk and corporate adoration. It wasn't for me.

Before arriving at Hofstra University I wish I had known that it would be the best decision I have ever made in order to erase all of the doubt that the college selection process gave me. It truly is where I belong and I know that I will succeed in my field of study throughout my life because of the education I will receive from this amazing university.

Generally speaking, in college it is especially important that an individual be proactive. Hofstra University is a relatively large campus and there is not anybody around to hold your hand and guide you to various activities fairs and lead you to job opportunities. It is the responsibility of the student to be persistent and repeatedly call offices and meet with teachers if they want something. Other than that, I am thoroughly satisifed with my choosing Hofstra University.

That some scholarships were freshman-only, that it is more inviting than the brochures illustrate, that it's meals are expensive, and that the academic atmosphere during finals is the only notable time that spurs everyone to their academic potential (or to the cramming that manages poorly for long-term recall) and therefore that that time of the semester is the only that draws me to my studying prime (which I personally dislike),

I wish i would have known that the professors go very quickly over material and that you have to teach yourself .

I wish i knew where some of my classes were going to be held before hand and how to go about joining a musical group.

I wish I had known how much I was going to love it here, because if I had I would have enrolled sooner. At my previous school I never felt like I really belonged there, but here I feel like I can be myself, and I can get a great education at the same time.

I wish I had known about the difficulty of finding financial aid. Although recieving some, I wish that there were more opportunities on campus to earn money. In addition, I feel like the jobs are very hard to find. If there were more fairs on campus so that the students would be more aware of the job opportunities, it would help a lot of the students in need of financial aid.
