Most Helpful Review for Hofstra University

Most, however, actually do teach at a college level and are very knowledgeable in their particular field. The distribution courses may take away from credits you could be using toward your major for the first two or three semesters, but after that, the classes get a lot better. Professors have set office hours for students to come in and discuss any problems they may be having, and are willing to work with anyone who is making an effort to do well. ...

    Hofstra could be a great school depending what you are looking for. It has a great community. It does lack greatly in diversity

    Hofstra University is a simply diverse school. It is big enough to meet new people everyday but small enough to pass by a friend on the way to every class. Your college life here is all what you make it and there is just so much that is offered here.

    Hofstra is an absolutely amazing school. It is undeniable that it is a little bit on the expensive side but it is worth every single penny. The academics are top notch and there's always something happening on campus.

Classes are a 15 min walk depending on how close your dorm is to the unispan, there are plenty of choices to choose from in the cafe, and many clubs to occupy your time. But I only wish they gave more financial aid.
