As another Long Islander: Hofstra does have a lot going for it though.

In terms of location: 20 minutes to the beaches. Next door to the new Nassau Colliseum, with sports events and concerts. (Not to mention the concerts at the Jones Beach Theater, 20 minutes away) 5 minutes from Roosevelt Field, a huge mall.

Lots of stores and restaurants not too far away-- everything from Wendys, McDonalds and Sonic on Hempstead Turnpike to Buffalo Wild Wings, Cheesecake Factory, Chilis, Joe’s Crab Shack–pretty much anything you could ask for. Yes, a car makes all that so much easier!!

I work very close to Hofstra. I’m not sure that I see the neighborhood encroaching on the campus.

Another local school that you might want to look at is Adelphi. Most of the same pros, but in a better neighborhood. Better yet, come up and look at both.
