Ejm, that is the same attitude that D is going with! She is very excited and optimistic, but knows she can just transfer next year if she isn’t happy. It’s so funny to read some students saying how much they love Hofstra and then you come across some that say they dislike it. I guess that’s what makes the world go round, huh?

I also agree with you that college, any college, is what you make of it. There are plenty of kids who transfer out of the top ranked colleges every year so there is ALWAYS going to be somebody that doesn’t like each and every school.

Moxiemaya, I’m sorry that you have not been happy there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Did you participate in the first year programs (living/learning communities and seminars or clusters)? D is thinking of trying that so she can start off with other kids with her same interests. Do you know yet where you will transfer? I wish you much luck with your next school!

For everyone else coming up next year and beyond, I plan to stay active on this forum to give reports concerning d’s Hofstra experience…the good and the bad…and if she stays for a second year. Hope i have only great things to report, though I know that freshman year, no matter where you are, is a tremendous time of growth and change. Here’s hoping for a great first year experience!
