The university is not worth what you pay in tuition at all. The ways that some of the university offices such as public safety, student accounts, and dining services operate are appalling. My graduate program was portrayed to me as a much better program than what I actually was. I feel like I was scammed, and now have to live with a mountain of student debt to pay off as my consolation prize. There are much better schools with much lower costs to go to in New York. Don't go to Hofstra.

I am a freshman at Hofstra this year and from California. If you plan to attend Hofstra, no matter where you are from, bring a car! I feel obligated to post this for the benefit of incoming freshman. This past year I was incoming, and being from California thought it unnecessary to bring a car all the way to New York, a place with great public transit. I was unfortunately very wrong, my first semester here was miserable. It is necessary to have a car to go to the grocery store, from class to class (in freezing temperatures), to get something to eat and so much more. What is more getting a ride from one of the other students with a car (which may seem like everyone) is not an easy task. Everyone is always going a different direction and if you do find a ride you may be made to feel like a huge inconvenience. If I can offer you any advice it is to BRING A CAR. Hofstra is a great place and after I got my car here I became a lot happier; everything is wonderful now!

I'm from CT, but not Fairfield County, so it took awhile to get used to the wealth that is all over campus. The wealth definitely rubbed off on certain people, but not all. The cars at the school are unbelievable...so many BMWs, Lexus, Audi, Landrovers, etc. The wealthy kids GENERALLY were assholes and don't really realize that they are assholes and not in high school anymore. Greek life is huge, and if you don't join, you're bound to lose some friends to some frat/sorority. I didn't join because I don't like the idea of paying for friends (and other associated reasons). It's possible to find people you fit in with, but it's not the easiest thing in the world. The bars suck...it's basically "My New Haircut". The advisors aren't particularly helpful either. Listen to your advisor from your major and get to know them...you'll have a better chance of being successful that way. Overall, you'll either find yourself working hard and with kids who work hard and will party when there work is done...or you'll end up with the typical business-type major and drink all week.. what you want to get out of school, you can get here. Bottom line: if you've never truly experienced long island, for the love of whatever holy being you believe in...do not go to this school. You'll end up transferring like I am.
