One of my coworkers sons was hired right out of Hofstra by Kirkland & Ellis in their Restructuring Division. He actually managed to get several high profile internships via the school, which is probably what got him the job.
I do agree with most of what you said though. Earlier in the thread, I made reference to the fact that Hofstra (which isn't cheap) might not be the best choice for students looking to break into the media industry (my semi-former industry), especially those who don't have connections. You
can distinguish yourself anywhere - but their is still a clubby aspect to schools and industry.
