SleepingGiant - I will most likely be attending NYU, unless I am accepted to Barnard.

I didn’t do the living/learning thing because I applied to Hofstra too late. I live in one of the towers, which is apparently being remodeled over the summer (lucky for you guys!). I was a member in a few clubs, but I stopped going to meetings because most people were apathetic and not interested in doing anything fun. I did rush sororities, and that was actually a very fun experience. I decided not to pledge, but I made a lot of friends through that. Hofstra has a good range of sororities, and not all of them are made up of your stereotypical “sorostitutes”.

I think that it’s hard for someone with my background to really feel at home here. I’ve spent so much of my life working very hard in school, and I feel like all of that work is being wasted here because so many of my peers are apathetic and just attending school because their parents want them to.
