I am coming down to the wire on choosing a college and Hofstra is one of my top 3 choices. I am seeking to enter the field of Broadcast Journalism and I know the Lawerence Herbert School of Communication is a highly respected school. I know the proximity to NYC is great for internships. I also know Hostra is ranked #1 for college radio. However, I have heard that their academics are not very good. How true is this? I am already admitted with a scholarship, I have a 3.6 UW GPA and 3.8 W. I have taken multiple Honors and AP classes over my high school years. I have visited and really loved the campus. Why is it said that the academics are not up to par? Is Hofstra a good choice for me or could I do better? I appreciate any and all answers. Thanks.
Hi @kmd549! Glad you enjoyed your campus visit. Would you like to talk to a current student in the School of Communication? I’d be happy to connect you. Feel free to message me an email address at which you can be reached.
