Commuting to Hofstra

The Office of Commuting Student Services and Community Outreach supports commuting students’ academic, social, and civic engagement at Hofstra. Commuting students are students who do not reside on campus, including off-campus students. The staff seeks to assist commuting students in learning how to live safely, successfully, and independently in the communities that surround the University. First-year commuting students may opt-in to be assigned to a peer mentor. The office is located in Room 221 Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, North Campus.

The Office of Commuting Student Services and Community Outreach:

• Assesses the needs of the commuting student population

• Encourages commuting students to get involved on campus-  through clubs or organizations, sports teams, intramurals, or student employment.

• Ensures that commuting students are aware of University resources and facilitates access to all Hofstra University has to offer.

• Ensures – by way of the Commuter Student Association –  that the commuting student voice is heard and recognized across all University departments.

• Provides community information and area resources.

• Offers community service opportunities, i.e., Shake-A-Rake, Pride and Plant, and many more.
