The entire debate experience at Hofstra was
unbelievable. It felt completely surreal
until Monday when I had my 9 a.m. class and was forced to realize my classy
Hofstra sweat pants wasn’t one of the top stylistic choices on campus that day.
The Hofstra Debate was definitely a once in a lifetime
experience. Because of all the hype leading up to the debate, it was also the
perfect opportunity for students to really get involved in all the politics surrounding
the election.
By Tuesday, the entire campus had come alive with the debate
buzz. Everywhere you looked there were debate 2012 signs, reporters, students
rallying, and fun activities to get involved in. The debate took over campus.
It was electric!
It was incredible to experience the live shows broadcasting
right here from campus and to see Hofstra on the news. There was a real sense
of community and pride that came from everyone being so passionate about the debates
and election.
The night’s debate watch parties united the students
together to watch this historical moment unfold. It became more then just a
debate: it was a taste of Hofstra’s pride.
Rumor also has it that on campus there were several
candidate cardboard cutout kidnapping attempts. All of which were foiled. But,
I must say, I personally wouldn’t mind eating lunch in the Student Center with
a cardboard cutout of Obama and Romney.
