Well, lets look at how USN&WR ranks them. QU is ranked 13th in the North regional universities. That is a good ranking among a small pool of schools. Hofstra is ranked 134th in the National Research group. These are the the big boys, all the major universities in the US which include all the Ivies, major state schools (Michigan, Alabama, UCONN, Rutgers, etc) and the best privates (MIT, Notre Dame, Chicago, Stanford, Duke etc). In this context a ranking of 134th is not a bad ranking when compared to the best.

QU is a really good local school with a growing reputation. Hofstra offers a solid education on Long Island. Both have recently opened medical schools. Both have good science programs/pre-med. Both don’t have football teams. One is considered a regional school while the other is nationally regarded. In many ways they are similar aside from location.

Visit each and let your gut decide.
