Hofstra University

My undergraduate experience at Hofstra has been the best four years of my life so far, and I loved it so much that I decided to come back for my master's. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this site about the school, but the thing is that every school has its up and downs and there's no such thing as one perfect school. Regardless of where you end up, your college experience will be what you make it. I didn't enjoy my classes initially. Once I changed majors and started studying something that... Read More I loved, however, everything fell into place. My professors were also extremely dedicated and cared about us as individuals. Most of them are still active practitioners in their field, so they teach at night and work during the day. They were all super knowledgeable and up-to-date in their fields, which can't be said for every college. A lot of people complain about the cost of tuition here, but the school gives out so much scholarship money that it's pretty doable. The return on investment is worth it, too - having their name on my CV has opened a number of doors already, and the alumni network is huge. Overall, I can't recommend Hofstra enough.

The school is great. Simply put. If you are someone that wants to further themselves personally and professionally than this is the place for you. If you want to pursue leadership opportunities and set yourself apart from the crowd, this is the place for you. If you're someone who just wants to wake up, go to class, rinse and repeat, then there are better places to go (if I'm being honest). The school does have a bit of a cost to it, but they do give scholarships and financial aid out to many if... Read More not most students. But regardless, the resources, experiences, and opportunities you have here as a student significantly outweigh that number. I am graduating within the next year, and I have little to no doubt that I can find a career out there and pay back my student debt in no time. I loved my professors and the administrators here who helped me out along the way. My best advice is for students who come here to not be afraid to ask questions, take the extra step, and explore all of their possibilities.

This school was terrible!!!!! I attended one semester here and absolutely hated it. Everything that is promised at tours and orientation does not come true. The instructors were lazy and didn't care about their whether their students succeeded or not and many of them said this was because they worked at other colleges. For the amount of money I was paying it was definitely not worth the level of education I received. I stayed on campus and the food was terrible!!!! I selected random for my roommate... Read More and it seemed as though they selected someone the complete opposite of me. When I wanted to change my roommate they stated there were no available rooms. They assign roommates before orientation so if you meet someone at orientation... goodluck trying to room together! Everyone that goes here is rude! The only thing to do on the weekends and weekdays is party so if you don't do that good luck having a social life because there is no activities set up by the school. This school ruined my college experience and cost a pretty penny for a miserable experience.

Hofstra University has been a great fit for me. It has provided me with ample opportunities to learn and gain experience in my field. The program I was apart of is prestigious and is well known out in the field. All of the professors in my field have been so supportive and helped me succeed. I enjoyed the program so much, that I decided to continue on to obtain my Master's Degree through Hofstra's Five-Year program. Thus far. that program has been one of the best decisions I have made. I have learned... Read More so much and am getting ample preparation for working in the field.

My time at Hofstra has really been quite the learning experience. It did not only make me grow academically but I've grown significantly all around. Whilst there was a lot of academic support from professors, the nature of the learning environment lends itself to autonomy. The campus life may not have been very diversified but diversity is present and well celebrated, through clubs and other campus activities. My biggest issue with Hofstra was with the registrar and student financial services. They... Read More are not very accommodating to students' financial needs and act very bureaucratic to the point where it can get in the way of a student's education. The advisors were also not well assigned to students based on their majors and as such many of my peers and myself included run into problems with registering for the right classes.

Hofstra University changed my life. I grew up in a poor socio-economic background in Queens, NY. Hofstra offered me a full scholarship through the NOAH program. I realized in order to change my life I first had to change the people around me. I met scholars, dreamers, and professors who saw the potential in humanity. I gained clinical knowledge in Paychology, research and medicine. Because of Hofstra University, I have been admitted to PA school at Charles Drew University and am blessed to have finally... Read More made it out of my neighborhood. I will continue to help lead other students to greatness as Hofstra has led me!

The Online MBA program at Hofstra University is a great program for people like myself who work fulltime and have a family. What I like most about the program so far is that it offers me the flexibility I need so that I can achieve my Masters without have to give up time at work or with my family. I am able to plan out my day so that I can meet the expectations of the program. It can be challenging at times but it is nothing that is not do-able. The program also allows you an intimate connect with... Read More approximately 20 students and you will develop meaningful relationship with the members of your cohort so that you can all achieve success in the program together.

Coming to Hofstra was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made! The campus vibe is everything that I was looking for in a college, and I could not be happier here. I have made amazing friends that will last a lifetime, and the professors are some of the best that I've ever encountered. One of them is actually currently in the process of helping me get my first internship! They're all so interested & invested in your success, and that was something that I was really looking for in a college.... Read More You're not just another name or face, and that itself is extremely helpful when trying to figure out what you want to do after college. Not only that, but the fact that it's only 30 minutes from the city by train is AMAZING! I would strongly recommend Hofstra to anybody who is looking for a great education, while at the same time ready to have experiences & friends that will last a lifetime.
