A ConnectedCommunity

You will find a new “home” at Hofstra, one that offers all the amenities you need for comfort and safety. What type of campus living arrangement do you have in mind? You may want to live in a traditional-style residence. Or do you prefer the camaraderie of suite-style living? If so, housing with suites or apartments might be more suitable. To accommodate different preferences, Hofstra’s 37 residence halls offer various options, including designated quiet floors. All are accessible to persons with disabilities. Residences are staffed with trained, friendly resident directors, assistant directors and resident assistants. You will find the help – and company – you need around-the-clock, throughout the week, all semester long. Make a snack in the public kitchen. Join your friends in the lounge to listen to a new CD. Connect to the Internet or enjoy satellite television in your room.
