LIVING ON CAMPUS The Hofstra campus is an exciting and welcoming place to put down your scholarly roots, and we offer a number of living choices.
LIVING ON CAMPUS
By now, you’ve probably already applied for on-campus housing, but if you have not done so yet, we invite you to tell us as much as you can about your preferences by using the questions included in the online housing application and the open-ended text box at the end of the application (available on the Hofstra portal at my.hofstra.edu). The information you provide will assist us in pairing you up with a compatible roommate. In addition, we’ll accept your preferences until the date we make your housing assignment. Once you have been assigned to housing, if you have a need to tell us additional information, please email reslife@hofstra.edu.
