Hofstra University Reviews

"Great education, providing great opportunities throughout the community and local organizations affiliated with the University."

"My graduate program will aid me in preparing and sitting for New York Bar exams. Meanwhile, it has availed me the opportunity to be educated in American legal system, and hence my becoming conversant with the way law profession is done here in Nigeria. Being a foreign lawyer, Nigerian lawyer, the program is a challenge for me in the sense that I am faced with a legal system with drastic different with my home country's legal system, and with a short period of time (8 months from now), to get the vast knowledge of this system. I am also faced with a high cost of the program, the tuition fee, though it is worth it."

"The Hofstra Master's in Health Administration program prepare you for a future in Health Administration. It is geared to ultimately provide you with internship, fellowship and networking opportunities in the field. The experiential learning approach provides you with real world experience. The end result still requires the student to ensure that he/she makes the most out of the networking and learning with the graduate program."

"The biology program at Hofstra University is a great school as long as you can afford it. The advisors in the Biology department are always available for help and push you to do your best. Overall amazing school, but wish there was more funding available."

"Love my program , amazing training and professor support"

"The diversity of the students in the MBA program allows for everyone to expand their views on all topics. The faculty is very competent and always are available to meet outside the assigned meeting times. However, room and board are both fairly expensive on campus. I would suggest attempting to find housing in Long Beach and cooking to keep costs down. The social life isn't comparable to other, bigger universities, but most of the students in grad school are no longer focused on the social events that most undergrad students are. The location is close to NYC and allows for easy networking."

"Returned to Hofstra for my doctorate after being an undergrad here in 1998. The school continues to grow and provide a high level education."

"Hofstra University Graduate program in Secondary Education is one of the best programs in New York State. The value of this Grad Program is priceless. Although the cost of attendance is a bit pricey, the accessibility of the faculty, educational support services, and quality of the education is well worth it. This school not only supports you while attending school but helps you to network and build skills for your future career!"

"I am a commuter so the travel from Manhattan to Long Island can be exhausting although I drive now so it is a lot less stressful than having to depend on the train. I enjoy that classes meet once a week to accommodate working professionals. I like the integration of technology in the program - it helps to create a more active learning experience."

"The Hofstra Masters in Creative Arts Therapy program is unlike any other in its focus to produce professional and knowledgeable clinicians. The faculty is incredibly helpful and available and the community at large is an excellent support."

"It is difficult to find a job with a law degree these days. The town of Hempstead is dangerous so you cannot go out in the surrounding area. However, I feel like I got a great education."

"The program is great so far. There are some amazing professors. Overall, I am very happy with the program and it has realistic expectations. I just wish it was a bit more affordable."

"I love my program because it is unique, it is the only master's of its kind in the U.S. The professors are intelligent and accessible and simply amazing. I feel that I am learning so much from them! In terms of price, its not bad but it's still expensive, like all education, its exorbitantly over-priced. As far as Hofstra itself, there isn't much I know about it because I commute and am there in limited periods and have friend only through my program! Overall I like it!"

"My experience at Hofstra was mostly positive. - I learned a great deal about my field and how to apply the research and learnings in the real world - I had a wonderful advisor who was available at all times and mentored me personally and professionally - I gained a large network of colleagues in the field which is why I currently have a full-time position I would have appreciated a greater recognition of my hard work and ambition through grants and and more financial support."

"The Faculty is very supportive and educated and has immense compassion for the future endeavors of the students."

"The way that the program is set-up is highly beneficial to a first year graduate student. By splitting the class into two groups, a therapy cohort and a diagnostic cohort, the workload and general mental organization of the subject area becomes easily manageable. All professors and supervisors are incredibly caring and helpful; they will check in regularly and always offer their support."

"The graduate program and the staff are both enriching and valuable for many reasons, one being that the staff are very experienced in the field, and two that the program structure helps you to completely understand the core of Art Therapy. The instructors are both knowledgeable and delightful persons who I have learned much from. I am disappointed in the financial aid packages given for grad students, especially after the sequester."

"The graduate program I am currently enrolled in has a wonderful faculty. The faculty as well as our supervisors are there for support and have guided each student into this new experience. The program makes sure the student comes first and attempts to make each student a better clinician. However, the school itself is expensive. Although the school does give out financial aid in loans, they hardly have any scholarships available.There is hardly any transportation around the area and living on campus is overly priced. The program is also affected with financial issues since there are hardly any scholarships given to students."

"Great school with many amenities, and networking opportunities. Education is superb. However, certain areas can be spotty in living quarters/conditions/environment."

"My program is creative art therapy, the pros are intensive courses but flexible schedules to meet full-time or part-time students' needs. The professors are great at teaching as well as helping students prepare themselves for being an art therapist."
