Ivy of Long Island? That’s not saying much. Beating out such stalwarts as Adelphi, Molloy, CW Post, and NYIT. Regrettably, Long Island is not the place to go for an elite college education (ironic considering the outstanding school systems there). Aside from Stony Brook (respected in sciences) and Hofstra (decent), Long Island is a big wasteland as far as college.

Hofstra is not a bad school, per se. It’s just not a great one. I would say its highlight is the law school, which is well respected. Long Island in general, and particularly Garden City (next town from Hofstra) are Lawyer Central. County and state courts right there, tons of law firms in the area, many opportunities for Hofstra Law students.
