I went to GWU for a semester and transferred because I partied way too much… once I got to Hofstra I decided it was time to get my stuff together and try. I'll be honest in that I like Hofstra because I am lucky, I understand why many hate it and its not the school's fault, its just the fact that they didn't get as lucky as I did. Academics: Depends on major. My friend is a Math major and he finds it to be difficult, another of my friends is a poly sci major and finds it easy. Business is hit or miss, some classes hard some easy. The psych department is stellar. I believe it may be one of the best programs in the nation. I really like it. I was published as a sophomore and I do undergraduate research and internships all the time. It is a great school.Work is challenging but not ridiculous. You have time to do it trust me. I am taking 17 credits this semester and I still have Fridays off. It's not hard to get the classes you want and the advisers they provide are usually pretty ok. Beware though, you HAVE to be independent, nobody is going to lead you like a horse to water. Social: If you are going to be a Freshman, you have a few good options on the Weekend (Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights). The bars that allow Freshman in are Dizzys and Nachos (under renovation). They are fun but get repetitive. A bonus is they don't care about your age and let you drink at 18. Also there are Frat Parties/ House Parties every weekend that are open to all. You shouldn't be too bored on campus Thursday-Saturday. Sunday is football, everyone watches an NFL team here and its a big deal. My friends are Pats, Giants, Jets (me) and Eagles fans. We watch all games on NFL Sunday Ticket. Its a lot of fun. Speaking of our teams, my friends are from Boston, Pittsburgh, Binghamton and Long Island. We're a diverse bunch and residents tend to be from all over. Commuters are kinda lame but one of my friends is one and spends all his time here. Dorms: Nice. Expensive. I'm moving off campus next semester with my 7 friends and saving $2,500 a semester. Aid: I go here for a state school price but I'm on the high end of the spectrum. They give good Financial Aid and Scholarships though. But they do jerk you around and try and get rid of your scholarship for no reason. It's kinda annoying. But all in all not so bad. I know very few people who pay full price. All in all a good school, think I was pretty honest. |
