Hofstra University Top Questions

The Hofstra Red- we all have crazy stds and aids etc. Long Island Girls- super tan, wear uggs and sweats with a slit up to the knee, love coach and gucci purses, hit up the local bars every night, wear Ed hardy shoes, and have a strong love for rain boots

Some stereotypes about Hofstra students are that they are stuck up Long Island Girls who only dress in designer clothes, smoke, tan excessively, and aren't friendly.

all the girls are "typical" long Island girls and every guy owns a BMS

All from Long Island All have STD's Jew school

that it's very expensive

Hofstra kids have STDs; they are mostly stupid rich spoiled Long Island kids; it is mostly commuters and/or kids who go home every weekend

A lot of people think that Hofstra students are ridden with STDs and that everyone is stuck up and rich and obsessed with being the most stylish. It's also known as a big party school.

Girl's are trashy and dumb, guys are all preppy jocks. Everyone is from Long Island.

The biggest stereotype about Hofstra is about the Hofstra girls who only care about partying, hooking up and new Ugg boots.

I think Hofstra students are known to be very smart. Hofstra is known for several of its programs, particularly Law, Communications, and Education. If you have a degree in one of those fields, people are going to want to hire you (or so I've heard). However, there are also some negative stereotypes. People seem to think that we're all rich, bratty, stereotypical "Long Island" kids. The problem with this is that some professors act that way. They don't understand that sometimes we have to work and that our parents just don't hand us all the money in the world.

Hofstra: It's a business tailored school with a penchant for running it's administration like a poorly managed fortune 500 company. Students: Everyone is a rich, spoiled long island guido or guido-ess. They are really dumb, have fake orange tans, talk only about drinking mad beers, and have a plethora of STDs.

That there are lots of guidos and rich snobby girls. That people here are very promiscuous.

They are very involved in cliques. The majority of the female population are stereotypical dumb blonde types that only care about high fashion and who's going to the Dizzy Lizard that night. In the winter they dress like yetis at a ski resort. The guys I've met are cool though.

AS a transfer student, I have to say I don't know much about current stereotypes, except maybe Hofstra students being wealthy, spoiled people. Growing up in the area though, I remember Hofstra being associated highly with STDs. As in, everyone on the campus had one and if you went ot Hofstra you were automatically associated with them.

BIG stereotype: Hofstra is a commuter school! It is SO not. I am from CA, I do NOT go home on the weekends and none of my friends do either. Hofstra offers so many on-campus activities there is no need to go home. Hofstra is also very close to New York City and many students travel there for the plethora of activities.
