Its been over two months into freshman year and Hofstra is working out well for my son. The (mostly) freshman dom complex, Netherlands, is comfortable and the kids seem like a pretty good and diverse lot. He’s made no complaints about the food or social life, which is a plus. He’s made good friends, male and female. Some classes are easy and one or two are harder, but on balance, he’s fit in. The “rap” that the school is a commuter school is untrue. A very small minority of kids leave campus over the weekend, but there is a lot to do. Travelling to NYC is easy and lots of kids do it. There also are a few kids that are very unhappy, but the causes are diverse - roommates, homesick, girlfriends, etc. There is a lot of shopping, restaurants and choices of things to do. Pick up athletics are easy to come by. Art, music and cultural things too.

If you are thinking about Hofstra for yourself or your child, I encourage you to check it out.
