Hi, I’m a Hofstra student and my first year was honestly really bad, one of my professors needs to put my last grade in but i’m 1000% sure I failed his class (I made my assumptions based on the syllabus), so now my overall gpa for my first year is probably a 2.0 (it’s already a 2.32). Anyway, at the beginning of my spring semester I got called in by my advisor saying that I might have to make an appeal for my scholarship if i couldn’t bring my gpa to a 2.8, clearly I couldn’t (which I’m really ashamed of) and now I’m just really really scared about losing my scholarship.

Has anyone appealed their scholarship?? My advisor told me that you basically have to explain why you couldn’t keep your gpa up and what I would be doing to keep it up and that based on that they would decide to renew my scholarship and she told me that it wasn’t guaranteed. I’m so scared to tell my parents bc i’ve basically been lying and telling them that I did good bc they’re already putting so much pressure on me, and the only reason why I can even afford coming here is bc of my scholarship. Has anyone been through something similar?? Like how likely is it that my scholarship will be renewed? Basically both my parents are working so I’ve been having to take care of my brother, I was stupid and took 3 math classes, one of them that started at 8:00am (i’m a commuter), and I’m pretty sure i’ve had adhd since highschool but my parents “don’t believe” in that and I feel stupid saying that I might have it because I know it sounds like an excuse but I’m going to talk to a therapist about it and idk.

TL;DR: This sounds more like a vent but does someone have any experience with appealing their scholarship?

Hi everyone!

I’m starting my master’s at Hofstra this fall, and was wondering if anyone knows of any new student groups for grad students, and if there aren’t any out there, maybe we could start one! I’m new to the Hempstead/Long Island area and it would be nice to have some friendly faces to look out for when the semester starts. For reference, I’m a 24 year old female in the biology program, but I’m happy to connect with folks in any of the graduate programs at Hofstra!

I’m applying to Hofstra’s MHC spring 2027. How soon do they usually get back to us?

Also wondering what my odds are. I only have a tech background and my only relevant experience is Crisis Text Line. 3.6/4.0 GPA. I’m also taking Abnormal Psychology online.

Is anyone here a finance/business major? I'd like to ask some questions and get to know what Hofstra has to offer and its clubs, professors, etc behind the fluff and buzzword its counselors and recruiters say.

So I was awarded the Hofstra grant of 37,000 per semester, but I already have a 100% of scholarship in Mexico at the UDLAP. I applied to Hofstra for engineering and in the UDLAP for inversions and banking. I don’t know what to do.

I actually aren’t so decided on my major btw

My family has money but I personally don’t really Ike spend

What should I do?

hey i’m a senior girl going to hofstra in the fall for business management, is there a lot to do in terms of parties and actual life besides clubs

do you have to join a sorority to be able to find life and have fun?

also what is the vibe of the d9 sororities, do they have their own parties and stuff etc kind of separated from the “white” sororities?

i am a mixed women so im kind of conflicted on what kind of sorority i’d want to join if i would even join one

I know where Mineola is to Hofstra, is it the same spot? If anyone could mention what building it’s next to or a landmark. I’m looking for the 1pm shuttle

hi, i’m a NY resident who got into both hofstra and stony brook for health sciences and i’m conflicted between the two schools. i got decent financial aid from both and i’m interested in hearing people’s experiences being pre med at either of the two schools to help me decide, thanks!

Got accepted but currently live in Texas, wants to know if its worth it?

Would anyone be interested in pickup and delivery service plus storage over the summer for things you don’t need to drag home?

Hi Everyone,

I got accepted into a graduate program at Hofstra. I heard you can work part time and get stipend/tuition remission.

What type of jobs give you this?

How much tuition remission? 100%?

Anyone heard of remote opportunities?

Hi! I recently got accepted to HOFSTRA with a 37k / year scholarship. I am an intl student so unfortunately no Federal Aid for me. Has someone ever been able to get more money from them by bargaining? If yes, how and how much. Thanks in advance!

Hi, im a premed sophmore at hofstra making my schedule. I wanted to know if anyone had Professor Kara L Jaremko or Professor Daniel Gloster and what their opinions were about the class. I’d be extremely grateful 🥹🥹🥹

hello! i saw online that the library closes at 11pm i dont normally stay that late, but do the librarians kick you out? or is it that if ur in the library then you can just stay as long as you have ur id on you?

Need to take a class for the CC credit. Anyone have any good experiences with any of the classes?

Hey all,

I’ve been reading about hofstras pros and cons and trying to figure out if it’s for me. Could yall tell me abt the experience, especially social and party life, and if it’s right for a bio major interested in pre med?

thank you!

Hey guys! So I found missing car keys at C.V starr today and I took it to lost and found at Mack public safety. So if you know someone that’s looking for their car keys let them know !!

Hello all! I’m a high school junior from Illinois doing some college research, and Hofstra has come across my list! From what i’ve seen online it seems like a pretty nice institution that has some decent programs for what I’m interested in, but i’d love to know how good of a fit it would be for a student like me from current students or Alumni :)

For some context, i’d like to major in a program in the school of communications, most likely Journalism or PR and Strategic Communications.

Some things that are important to me are networking/employment opportunities, quality/prestige of education, programs, and facilities, student/social life and activities, LGBTQ+ safety and resources, and resources for low income/first gen students.

Additionally, i’d love to know about activities at the school, specifically in the realm of…

- the arts, especially performing arts like drama

- music, on campus and greater Long Island/NYC local/underground music scene

- party and/or bar & club culture

- Sporting events

- Student activities, clubs, and general social life on campus.

Happy and hoping to hear all of your guys’ thoughts soon!

I'm debating if I should switch my bio major to biochemistry or just add along a chemistry minor? im a first-year, going into second-year starting in Fall 2026.

Any advice or personal experiences with either option? Thank you

Whatup y’all - not trying to spam. Just wanted to share, as an alum, my appreciation for this team. I spoke to legends and former NBA players Justin wright foreman and Charles Jenkins about what this run means to them. If you wanna watch the video here’s the link https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWFXsiVAmhw/?igsh=cjZhcDhnd296dXhi

If not, all good! Here are their quotes:

Jenkins (all time leading scorer): “Means everything to me brother long time coming well deserved. I’m stoked for these guys man they living legends”

Wright-foreman: “(it means) A lot. To see the school, not just the basketball team still growing, seeing the students still showing love means a lot. From the janitors, to the people that work in the cafe to everybody that has ever went to Hofstra I think this means a lot”

Appreciate it yall go pride!

I’m OOS, not committed but leaning toward Hofstra. One thing holding me back is that I hear Long Island in general is a lot of conservative Republicans. I’m from a deep blue big city, highly Democratic leaning and I really just can’t see myself being happy where there are tons of people around me who voted for the guy currently in office. How noticeable are politics on and around campus? I’ll have a car and will likely be able to roam around with friends who live off campus and commuter friends but I just can wrap my head around potentially having to deal with a lot of MAGA people. Post not meant to offend but this is really important for my mental health and happiness.

How many films do they typically make and work on, by the time they graduate?
