I need help finalizing it.
It was a bright and sunny day when I first stepped foot on Hofstra's campus. I could not help but notice how breathtaking the view was. Immediately, I was very much intrigued to learn more about the university. As the tour continued, I could not believe how extraordinary Hofstra truly was; with its amazing curriculum and faculty, Hofstra provides a flourishing environment for its students. In addition, Hofstra's large campus and close proximity to New York City provides new opportunities and experiences for its students. After visiting the campus, reading the pamphlets, and researching on Hofstra's website, I realize that Hofstra offers what I hope to gain from my college experience. As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to help people, as well as learn about them. I believe that Hofstra University will provide an enriched environment for my career path and personal development and growth.
Hofstra University offers a variety of clubs, programs, and majors for its students to choose from. With its classes held on their beautiful Long Island campus, recognized as a national arboretum, the classroom ratio at Hofstra provides a suitable environment that will allow its students to grow and succeed in their studies. Above it all, Hofstra contains faculty members who come from all over the world, with strong industry backgrounds along with significant research work. As an individual, I believe that I will thrive in the small intimate environment of Hofstra University, especially after coming from such a small high school. In addition to its academic breadth, Hofstra offers a variety of extra-curricular activities on its campus. I am greatly excited about continuing my interest in sports, theater and dance at the university. I started dancing at the age of five, and I have performed in many of my school plays. In my final year of high school I was given the opportunity to choreograph the fall production; High School Musical. Throughout my high school experience, I have learned to work with others on the field and off the field. Additionally, I have learned to support one another especially when one needs it the most. Being creative, innovative, and a taking charge have been characteristics that have blossomed and shaped the person I am today; a well-rounded student who excels academically, socially, and in extracurricular activities.
A college is ultimately as good as the student who attends it. What I see in Hofstra University is the tools and opportunities to push my education to a higher level, while simultaneously indulging myself in a pleasant student body that at the same time will allow me to grow as an individual. I believe that Hofstra University emerges as the best choice for me and I feel that I am a great match for the university. In return, I will contribute to the university as a person that possesses many characteristics that will allow me to be open to new settings and experiences. I believe that I will obtain all the benefits that Hofstra offers in its intimate yet rich campus. I truly believe that I will fulfill my potential by attending Hofstra University.
