Hofstra is the best school by far if you want to go to school in Long Island (you don't want to go far away, for whatever reason). Stony Brook is a dump. Hofstra is in a good location in Nassau county (just hempstead sucks, but everybody has a car - its MUCH better than being in eastern LI!) but since everybody has a car, theres tons of stuff to do around roosevelt field and east meadow and jones beach and all. Why do people complain about hempstead so much?? Just dont go there. Its usually the ones without cars that complain. And hofstra isnt in the MIDDLE of hempstead - its at the END of hempstead. Anyway, alot of the people I met were really fun and awesome. I had the time of my life there. I previously went to Polytechnic in Farmingdale- and my god I wish I went to hofstra from the start. You meet lots of people, party alot, get to live on campus, you'll meet alooot of people from Boston for some reason, and its good. If you want harvard, go to harvard. We at Hofstra don't want to be Harvard. If its not challenging for you, and you like to study, go somewhere else. There is a school for everybody. Its great - if you want to stay on Long Island and get a decent education and meet lots and lots of local friends around the tri-state area, go to Hofstra!

P.s. some good advice - hofstra isnt too big of a school - dont start any drama with anybody… everybody knows everybody and your enemy will be connected to you somehow someway! Dont start fights or participate in drama. The school is too small for 2 enemies to co-exist. Spend your time having fun - not getting into trouble.

Responses
responseHofstra is in no way shape or form better than Stony Brook. It has never and will never beat Stony Brook on ANY college ranking list or in terms of rigorous curriculum or accomplished professors (although they are wrapped up in research). Plus Stony Brook isn't in the ghetto. Stony Brook students are also leaps and bounds more intelligent than Hofstra students as a whole. Hofstra accepts 62%, SBU accepts 47%. Lyme disease and MRI mean anything to you? That's all SBU.

All of this is coming from someone who does NOT go to SBU and hates the bureaucratic hell hole that public schools are.
