Read Hundreds of Quotes from Hofstra University Students

Read samples from the Hofstra University guide below:

Academics

“Well, I certainly didn’t come to Hofstra for its stellar athletic programs. I came here for its very well-recognized academics, specifically in the field of psychology. I love all of my classes and professors. I would definitely say that I got what I came...”

Diversity

“I don’t really know how diverse Hofstra is, or at least not much about the actual numbers. I see a few minority students here and there, but I feel like they mostly stick to their own and don’t get involved in that much on campus.”

Guys & Girls

“The men are self-serving; they put themselves and their feelings first and foremost. There are no longer ‘true gentlemen’ in our generation.”

Athletics

“There’s always a lot of sporting activity going on around campus, whether it’s soccer, basketball, or Frisbee, you always see students out on the intramural fields doing something. We have a lot of leagues and sports that aren’t actually sponsored by the...”

Academics

There certainly seems to be a recurring theme with all of the students’ comments on their academic experiences at Hofstra. Most have said that they feel as if the professors of the lower-level classes are not as passionate or dedicated to teaching. However, the students also feel that having to take core courses is a waste of time, and so it seems as if the professors treat the class as a waste of time. Every professor has been willing to work outside the classroom. It is the student’s effort that...

Diversity

Many students are rather stunned when they find out the amount of organizations for ethnic students on campus; they barely know anything about them at all. That’s not to say that the campus isn’t diverse. It’s just hard for students to become interested in this particular subject.

Aside from all of the clubs and organizations mentioned thus far, Hofstra also has many programs tailored towards women. We have a Women in Business club, a Women in Communications club, and a Collegiate Women of Color...

Guys & Girls

It’s a miracle that guys and girls are able to live harmoniously together on the same campus. A majority of the guys describe the girls as superficial, annoying, and difficult to communicate with. While according to the ladies, most guys can be summed up rather briefly: not worth it. Actually, if you took a quick glimpse at campus one day, you really wouldn’t see any signs of this at all; pretty much everyone seems to be getting along just fine. Many students have good friends of the opposite sex, but...

Athletics

The fairest assessment of Hofstra’s athletic programs is that while they are certainly not eye-popping, they don’t go completely unseen either. Most students are aware of some of the notable athletes that have come out of Hofstra and now play professionally. The two that everyone surely has heard of are Wayne Chrebet, who played for the Jets, and Speedy Claxton, who won a championship with the Spurs and now plays for the New Orleans Hornets. Despite the athletes the University has produced, the majority of...
