DISCOVER WHERE YOU BELONG

Experience the Hofstra Feel

Between the excitement of New York City and the beaches of Long Island, Hofstra offers the best of both worlds. Our campus is just 25 miles from Manhattan and features green quads, modern labs, and spaces built for learning and connection. When you visit, you’ll see where you’ll live, learn, and grow. The city, the shore, and your future are all within reach.
