Frequently Asked Questions About Hofstra Music Fest 2017
Hofstra Music Fest

Hofstra Music Fest is right around the corner. And Hofstra Students have a lot of questions about the event. I've tried to lay out the most frequently asked questions about Music Fest this year so that people can know all the details and get ready for the biggest event of the Spring Semester.

Who's performing?

I wish I could say. I really wish I could.

Why haven't artists been announced?

Unfortunately, once artists have been chosen, there is a long process that contracts have to go through before artists can legally be announced to the public. This is a process that takes several months depending on the process and the companies involved.

Who puts on Music Fest?

Music Fest is a student-run event put on by Hofstra Concerts and Entertainment Unlimited. Members from these clubs have worked all semester to bring this awesome event to Hofstra.

When is Music Fest?

Music Fest is on Saturday May 6 from 12 PM to 6 PM.

Where does Music Fest take place?

It takes place on the intramural fields next to the HofstraUSA parking lot and Colonial Square.

What does it cost to go to Music Fest?

It's free. All you need to do is bring your Hofstra ID and you're good to go.

How do I sign up guests?

Hofstra Concerts and Entertainment Unlimited are tabling in the Student Center atrium the week of May 1-5. Each Hofstra student can sign up to 2 guests for $10 each. Stop by the Student Center atrium table from 10 - 5 each day this week to pay for the guests tickets. Your guests can pick up their wristbands the day of Music Fest.

Can I sign up guests on the day of Music Fest?

No. The last day to purchase Music Fest guest tickets is Thursday May 4th.

Why is called Music Fest, not Spring Fest?

Music Fest has always been called Music Fest since the first year back in 2007. You might hear people annoyingly correct you when you say Spring Fest. The reason that we push for it to be called Music Fest is because 1) that's the name of the event and 2) Fall Fest is a University run event, while Music Fest is a student run event. We just want to differentiate between the organizers of each Fest so there isn't any confusion.

What happens if it rains?

Rain or shine, Music Fest is happening!

What are the raffle prizes?

You can enter for a chance to win 5 different prizes: VIP Passes, tickets to Governor's Ball, a Ticketmaster gift card, a movie-themed basket, and a beach-themed basket. Also, Daniel Wellington will be raffling off their signature watches. Raffle tickets are 1 for $3 or 2 for $5.

How do I sign up for the Music Fest 5K?

You can stop by the Running Club Atrium table this week and sign up. It's $15 that goes towards charity. You can also sign up the day of the event. First 50 to sign up receive an exclusive T-shirt.

What kind of giveaways are there?

Throughout the day, you have the chance of getting a Music Fest T-shirt, wristband, phone card sleeve, water bottle, and beach ball.

Can you save me a t-shirt?

No.

Will I have fun?

Yes of course! This is the greatest event of the semester!

From all of us at Hofstra Concerts and Entertainment Unlimited, we can assure you that Music Fest 2017 is going to be a fantastic event. Come join us on Saturday May 6.

If you have any questions, you can email us at hofstraentertainment@gmail.com or hofstraconcerts@gmail.com.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

127389

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
