Hofstra University opinions from actual students?

I’ve been accepted to Hofstra University with their provost scholarship that pretty much cut my tuition in half. My target area is NYC so when I saw Hofstra it seemed like a good idea to apply. I’ve heard a lot of bad and some good things about the campus and students and I’d like to TRULY know from experience if it’s a good school? I’m a hard worker and I don’t smoke and barely drink. I’m not the one to waste my money on failing out of school and partying but I’m also a social butterfly you could say. So is it worth it? It’s pretty much my #1. Opinions?

Why don’t you move this to the Hofstra page since it is school specific?

@happy1‌ I think it’s a good choice for op to post here - posts in individual college forums are sometimes a bit biased.

The only opinion I can give is of the music director, who is one of my favorite people in the world.

Good luck deciding!

We did not end up applying there but we used a private college counselor who did recommend it highly - he has over 30 years experience so I trust his judgement. Our family is conservative in lifestyle (not viewpoints) and I don’t think he would have made the recommendation if he didn’t think the environment would fit my son.

Hi @happy1! If you’d like to message me with an email address at which we can reach you, I can connect you with a current Hofstra student that would be happy to talk about their experience.

Best of luck with your decision!

@HofstraRep‌ you should direct this to the original poster. I just posted an response and have no personal interest in Hofstra.

My mistake, @happy1, sorry about that. Thanks for the heads up.
