I stayed in a sweet with 3 others girls in Stuyvesant hall and would definitely recommend staying in one of the sweet style housings during your freshman year. After that, a lot of people save over $1000 by signing a lease with 7-8 friends and living off-campus.

They had a really good drama department with a BA in Drama which allowed me to double major and also minor in musical theatre. My other major, psychology is also really good at Hofstra and they make sure your schedule fits everything.
