I'm proud of my school; the "Occupy Cooper Union" movement is in full swing, and I'm all for it…read more Because Cooper president Jamshed Bharucha announced about a week ago that Cooper was going to start charging tuition, ending a 150-year tradition, militant students have been occupying the president's office on the 7th floor of the Foundation building. To be fair, the president has inherited a host of financial problems set in motion by the president before him, George Campbell, who not only sold off multiple parcels of land--he also took on massive debt with the construction of the New Academic Building. (There was such a lukewarm response to that, he couldn't even get a big-wig donor to name it after.) So this current conflict has brought about a level of previously-unseen solidarity among students, faculty, and alumni. More as this story develops.

I currently have my youngest niece enrolled at Hofstra, who also had her HS graduation here, and my other niece had her college graduation held at Hofstra. I've been to the university several times, for graduation ceremonies, and to help cousins move into their dorms and moving out. The school is very easy to navigate. There's clear signs all throughout, and the parking lots of heavenly lit at night. There's always onsite security cruising around, which is a plus and gives that extra layer of protection that you, and your family who are attending are safe. The events, and student get togethers that I so often hear about are all planned by the student council, and they always seem well organized and though out, and fun might I add! You can always find something going on at the campus, planned and hosted by the students themselves. Emily, loves it here. She's forever ranting and raving about the events, meetings, after school events, bake sales, culture nights etc. All of which she helps to plan as she's the head of the student council. If you're a parent thinking to send your child here to further their education, no need to think twice. It's a great private school. The beautiful and historic Dutch estate has been ranked as a top schools in the US for many years in a row. You and your child will love and appreciate the history Hofstra has.

But setting aside for a moment what a Long Island University degree means in the working world, the simple experiences I had enjoyed as a student will stay with me forever. The majority of the teachers and department heads that really took a genuine interest in each student that was willing to show up for classes, take the exams and submit the necessary assigned assignments. The Newman Group where we prepared food for the poor and I drove the LIU van into Manhattan to distribute them and many other such acts of charitable giving. Having been to many NY campuses at other Universities, CW POST really is one of the top in terms of nature, architecture and working with the land. The 330 acres that were given to LIU by the POST family, yes the cereal people which now is a part of Kraft have some of the most impressive buildings in the uber wealthy community of Old Brookille. Marjorie POST was married to E.F. Hutton, remember him? "When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen" it was a catch phrase for the E.F. Hutton Investment banking service which to my knowledge exists. Lorber Hall where many of the accounting classes occur have a nonfunctional fireplace in each classroom. With so many more examples I will not list it is worth a trip to walk the arboretum which has such a variety ot trees, or the nature maze and the semi newly erected Pratt Center. Even Gary Winnick even has a building names after him, anyone remember Global Crossing? (additional information to be posted along with photos soon)

I still remember what I was told the first day of Freshmen Orientation. "Take a good look at the person to your right, your left, in front of you, and behind you. At least one person you just looked at, will not be with you come graduation." Yeah, that not only scared me half to death, but I knew this was only for serious engineering students. It was true - actually - only one person that was next to me at orientation made it to graduation with me. It was the hardest four years of my life, and the greatest decision I have made to come to this institution. Professors are your backbone, your classmates your reality check, your family your lifeline, and your degree the sweetest moment of glory you've ever felt. I'm a bit sad about the name change to the Polytechnic Institute of NYU, but it is still good 'ol Poly to me. Great honor and privilege to be an Alumni.

This has to be the worst college in the world. First, they say you must get approval to publish…read morewith any affiliation, then say they don't have any sponsors. They provide instructions on how to interact with people on the student platform, say you need a sponsor to create groups and such, then don't provide a sponsor. Once classes started, my grades went down when I provided alternative theories. When I became critical of the professor, I was suspended, though not disenrolled. I lost all access to the library, my academic JSTOR account, et cetera. I even lost access to drop classes, but assignments were still being required. They're documented appeal processes don't work. Even before being suspended, I tried to appeal grades and such, per documented procedures, and the more senior staff were unresponsive. And their grading is crazy. It's like you could submit an assignment that ended all conflict, solved poverty, made you a Noble laureate, and they be like, "No, you have to check the box saying that you completed the assignment after turning in the assognment. There is no unfair treatment. You get a C, just like anyone else would." I originally thought it was better than CUNY, because you can actually get enrolled. But it seems like quicker route to a much more disagreeable experience. And the personnel are like super low quality. They go into the meetings with the air of a highly distinguished ivy league dean, then say the craziest things, like completely irrational, nonsensical, bizarrest things, then seemingly become distraught when you're like, "Ummmmmm, alright.". Craziness.

However, the library in this campus is my go-to for studying, especially knowing that a lot of popular restaurants and festivities occur around the area. It is also very conveniently located, as if I'm ever nearby and do not wish to wait on line for the Starbucks bathroom, I can simply swipe my stormcard here and stop by the bathroom. Furthermore, I really am impressed with the layout, appearance and cleanliness of this building as a whole. Did I mention this is a great study area?... especially for SJU students who live in the borough who do not want to commute all the way to the Queens campus.
