The Pros And Cons Of The Hofstra University

A College Cannot be Perfect; However, We Can Make It Better

I. A potential incoming college freshman struts with confidence through the sliding doors of the Student Center, inhaling the freshly prepared pizza ready to be served at Sbarros, and sees the smiling faces as Pride Leaders try to convince each individual to enroll at Hofstra University; yet fail to admit that every university has its limitations and failed expectations. A journalist from U.S. News reports, “Hofstra University 's ranking in the 2016 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, 135.” (Hofstra University)

Each university has different versions of a campus environment and academic areas that make it unique, thus having its own individual aspects when it comes to the decision of certain students. The Hofstra campus is known to attract new-comers due to its arboretum and programs; such as business, communications, medical, law, etc. Frederick Soviero writes, “…encompasses 240 acres and provides a beautiful campus setting that inspires and motivates its students…Today, more than 12,000 evergreen and deciduous trees represent 625 species and varieties, and the number is increasing every year. The Friends of the Hofstra University Arboretum have developed a two-acre plot of land for a distinctive bird sanctuary…”

While applying to colleges and narrowing down the final decisions there are pros and cons to consider; whether it’d be distance, safety, environment, etc., every student has his or her own expectations and standards. The Hofstra campus is particularly favored, without including the surrounding areas; that being said the campus has to be kept up to par for a likable and comfortable atmosphere, including in the classrooms and residential dorms. Thus, maintenance and other relevant faculty should be doing everything in their power to make sure that the campus and living environments are what the students expect and deserve in the college they plan to reside in for four
