<p>We know Hofstra quite well and I just wanted to make you aware that it has a large commuter population. My daughter has taken some of the classes for young folks there and my son knows some people that go there. I have to say they do have really good food quality and choices in the cafeteria. The campus is split in half by a busy road, but there is a unispan to walk through that goes above the road. The area around the school is not all that appealing and beside the coliseum where there are concerts and sporting events, there doesn’t seem to be alot to do in the area. It’s probably about an hour’s drive to Manhattan and there are surrounding areas that have more going on. My son goes to New Paltz…so I could try and answer any questions you might have about either school.</p>
