Hofstra University Top Questions

I wish I had known how much trouble I would have to go through to even attempt to stay here and complete even my first year.

I wish I woul have know that this school is completely different from my previous school. This school provides the students with a challenge that will make one want to succeed and more.

I wish I had known better ways to save money on my meal plan and other school expenditures.

As a senior in high school, I wish I would have kept in open mind as for as my major. Before this school, I attending two other universities. The change in universities was due to a change in my major after my first college. If I was to keep my options open, I would not have been behind in my class status. I would have saved a semester and money.

I wish I would have known more about the accessibility of financial aid at this school or lack thereof because the university doesn't give out a lot of aid to students.

I wish i knew about the way professors teach in Hofstra. Transferring from Berkeley College to Hofstra, i automatically detected the carelessness of professors towards their students. Professors expect everyone to have a great amount of knowlegde about everything they are taking. Students are let to wander around and find their own ways. There are less teachings going on in the class rooms but students are expected cover everything at their time.This is the reason why my GPA dropped, because i have to discover everything in textbooks by myself.

I wish I would have known just how big the class sizes really were and how daunting they could be. After graduating from one of the biggest Catholic High Schools in the country I figured that college would be a piece of a cake. I didn't fully realize the enormity of a University Campus and just how daunting it could be when you didn't know a single soul. I just wish I would have prepared myself slightly better for the shock.

I wish I knew that AP credit in highschool could help me graduate faster from college.

I wish I had communicated with my roommates and suitemates before we moved in.

I wished I had known how much greek life meant at Hofstra University. I dislike the fact that students have to go through rites of passages to be apart of a group that apparently is looked up to by other regular students. I dislike the fact that when I do fill out scholarship forms at the university, preference is mostly given to students who are Italian and/or apart of the Greek community. Had I known all of this prior to applying to this school, maybe I would've considered joining one.
