Hofstra University has been a fixture among the New York City metropolitan area’s academic community since 1935. The university has the rare distinction of holding accreditation in 24 different fields, and ranks highly in both quality and value. In addition to its legacy of exceptional education and research opportunities, Hofstra is recognized as a pioneer in creating accessible campus architecture as well as hosting presidential debates in three consecutive election cycles.
Residential neighborhoods surround the university, with many of the local apartments, condos, and rental houses offering easy access to Hofstra, the nearby shopping centers to the north, and the town center. The Hofstra campus sits roughly a mile and a half east of downtown Hempstead, and the route along Fulton Avenue is lined with restaurants and corner grocery stores. Hofstra is just a short drive or train ride from New York City’s endless array of entertainment and cultural attractions as well as the beaches of Long Island’s coastline.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
