Hofstra University has been a fixture among the New York City metropolitan area’s academic community since 1935. The university has the rare distinction of holding accreditation in 24 different fields, and ranks highly in both quality and value. In addition to its legacy of exceptional education and research opportunities, Hofstra is recognized as a pioneer in creating accessible campus architecture as well as hosting presidential debates in three consecutive election cycles.
Residential neighborhoods surround the university, with many of the local apartments, condos, and rental houses offering easy access to Hofstra, the nearby shopping centers to the north, and the town center. The Hofstra campus sits roughly a mile and a half east of downtown Hempstead, and the route along Fulton Avenue is lined with restaurants and corner grocery stores. Hofstra is just a short drive or train ride from New York City’s endless array of entertainment and cultural attractions as well as the beaches of Long Island’s coastline.
