5 Student Reviews of Hofstra University

  • My problems with Hofstra started on day one and never ended in the 1.5 semesters I was there. I’m sorry I ever applied. I tell everyone I can to stay far away from this poor excuse for an academic institution. Heed my warning and save yourself the headache and frustration.

    Hofstra and Zarb have a knack for providing false information or promises. Don’t take anything they say during the open house at face value. I was told I’d be able to do an independent study during my interview, and when the time came, they refused and didn’t give any reason. They also advertised 10 elective classes on the website, but last semester they only offered one.

    Most of my professors were incapable of conveying the material in a meaningful or digestible way, and some never made eye contact with the class throughout the whole semester. Six of the ten classes in my program were a complete waste of time.

    If you have any complaints or want to vouch for your right to a decent education, the dean and department chairs will either ignore you or talk down to you until they think you will give up. I had an associate dean laugh in my face when I told him I wanted a better education. Use that information as you will.

    Finally, incompetence must be a job requirement for all Hofstra employees. Most faculty and administration either talk down to you, tell you they’ll do something or follow up with you and don’t, or ignore your emails and phone calls completely. I’ve seen this behavior from Zarb, financial aid, housing, registrar, and HR. You would think that at least financial aid would be more careful since they’re dealing with people’s money. Nope. I had to watch them like a hawk and correct their same mistakes over and over again.

    The area is also very unsafe. The first week of my first semester there were TWO reported gun-point break-ins and robberies on campus. Just visit Hempstead and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
