Hofstra Personal Statement

Decent Essays
I am applying to Hofstra because I believe that this school has everything that I could need to be successful. I would like to go into the field of broadcasting and the New York area is where I see the most opportunity for my career. I came to Hofstra over the summer for a visit and I was extremely impressed with the broadcasting department and how recognized it is on a national level.

When I graduate college, I would like to work in New York City. However, for my college years, I do not want to be in the city right away. Going to Hofstra would allow me to get that slower paced introduction to the city that I would need after I leave school. I was very interested in the trips to the city that Hofstra offers. I think it would be a great way
