St. John's University vs. Hofstra University

I am still waiting on my top choice Brooklyn, but in the mean time these are the two I am choosing between as my second choice as the April 15th deadline nears. Any information on either program is greatly appreciated!

Go with Hofstra.  The professors provide a ton of support, they guide you through clinicals sonyoy never feel alone. St.johns is rough theres not alot of support its pretty much just figuring it own on your own. I know people who went there and did not life the program because of the lack of support. Also clinicals can get messy. You might not get the placement you want.

I don’t know much about St. John’s, but I have heard nothing but positive things about the program at Hofstra! 

Does location influence your decision at all? Hofstra is pretty far out on the island, which might be annoying for placement purposes, but I’ve heard great things about faculty and help with clinical placements!

I know a girl who is currently at St. John's and although the program is intense and her days are long- she said she really loves it. My doctor also had only good things to say about St. John's as well (his wife is an SLP and they wanted her to teach at the university). However- I've heard that Hofstra is really hard to get into and that they have great professors. Both great options so congratulations!
