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 traditionalstyle residence. Or do you prefer the camaraderie of suite-style living? To accommodate different preferences, Hofstra’s residence halls offer various options, including designated quiet floors. All housing styles are accessible to persons with disabilities. Residences are staffed with trained, friendly professional resident 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 common kitchen.

Join your friends in the lounge to play a game on the Wii or continue the conversation from your first-year seminar class. Connect to the Internet or enjoy television in your room.
