Diversity at Hofstra University

A-

Hofstra Is Pretty Diverse but the Students Are Rich as Hell

As a black student at Hofstra University, I have never felt any sort of racism directed at me and the campus (while majority white) is surprising diverse. I've also never had any issues with other students based on religious, political beliefs, and sexual orientation.

However, as someone from a working class family, it can be pretty unfortable being around students whose parents can afford to pay full tuition and randomly give their kids $300-$600 when they need money and then watch as they throw it around like it's nothing or completely waste it (especially kids who are failing like three classes a semester and their parents pay the entire tuition).

Transportation at Hofstra University

B-

Bus Service Is Okay but Needs Serious Improvement

I am a student that takes both the Hofstra shuttle bus and public tranportation everyday. The service is okay but buses are often late and if you need to leave campus after 4pm, good luck with that 1hr+ wait for the LI buses. The Hofstra shuttles don't come often enough and they also have issues with lateness.

The sad part is that public transit in Hempstead is the best in Nassau County. I'll admit that there is a wide variety of buses to take to and from campus so that's convenient.
