Hofstra University

One phrase that all people can relate to is “There is no place like home”. Therefore, going to an extraordinary college that is near home is a privilege that only a tiny percentage that students get. Consequently, being a family oriented person, I have always preferred to live at home and commute back and forth to the University. Therefore, I believe that the Hofstra University is the ideal school for me, since it's an extraordinary university that excels at academia and its location is quintessential, since it is only seven miles from my home time of New York City. In addition, the fact that Hofstra University is located near New York City, increases the opportunities to receive an internship. Another plus that I discovered about Hofstra University…

I am applying to Hofstra University because I want to put myself in a completely different environment. Going to Hofstra in New York means that I get to see another part of the states that I have never been to and that I get to be someone that no one knows yet. At home everyone knows me and they all have an idea of who I am. Most of those ideas involve me being the nerd in school that does nothing, but study. Some have even seen me as someone who would rather do all the work than let others…

Across the NWSL, teams are struggling to adjust to Leah Galton, the English rookie who started the season late but since then has scored three goals and notched three assists, reinvigorating a struggling Sky Blue attack. The Hofstra grad is the second English player to be drafted into the NWSL from the college ranks and the combination of an English pedigree with the fitness and strength that comes with an NCAA athlete has proved lethal this yearfor both Galton and Rachel Daly, the St. John’s…

In the year before the recession and crisis began, Hofstra had net revenue (revenue minus expenses) of $40,100,000 (Arga). In 2013, Hofstra had net revenue of $17,800,000 (Arga). This decrease in revenue, which occurred due to the recession, resulted in a tighter overall budget. The result of this tighter budget was that Hofstra would need to make cuts in order to avoid a budget deficit. These cuts can range from cutting certain programs to changing teacher wages and employing cheaper labor. As…

Finding the perfect college for me felt like a scavenger hunt for a while until I found Hofstra University. Prior to the spring of my junior year I had never even heard of Hosfstra. Not until I researched the types of majors were offered that interested me, for instance Pre-Medical Studies and Biology-Pre-Med, and actually stepped foot on campus did I realize that it was a perfect fit for me. The first time I became acquainted with Hofstra was through the former assistant cross country coach,…

integrity and leadership, D for diversity and community, and E for expression and free exchange. It is important for there to be goals set in place because it is the first step towards the achievement of that goal. Developing Hofstra P.R.I.D.E. is important because it allows students inside and outside of the classroom to value themselves, their integrity, and others. Some people may think that Potsdam’s Academic Honor Code is a better alternative, because of its code of student rights,…

values are projected by those that are associated with their campus. Hofstra University has developed their own honor code to protect the university itself, and its students and faculty. An honor code is used throughout many established communities and is needed to maintain the authenticity of the people within that community. Hofstra’s honor code institutes similar ideals as other institutions and it provides students and faculty…

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…

doesn’t happen again so that Tim saves lives” (Rossman). Each time there is a death resulting from hazing it is the parents who feel responsible, not only for the loss of their child but for putting an end to hazing. But how many times can the torch be passed from one family to the next before something is actually done about the issue at hand? Fraternities face consequences but the perilous behaviors continue. While we can see the negatives of what can occur within the walls of a fraternity…

In a discussion about the paradigms of public education, Ken Burns addresses the controversial topic of cultural education. Public education is experiencing a time of confusion in helping children develop cultural identity so the new generation can continue to play an important role in globalization. This confusion causes an immediate reaction: continue to do what has been done in the past--instruct children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many…
