<p>If you live off campus in your own apartment, presumably you WILL be doing your own cooking. The rent is what could be pricey. And you would need to be close to the campus so you could still walk to everything you need to get to. I don’t know the prices of off campus housing near Hofstra. I will say…my own kid went to a college in an expensive part of the country also…off campus housing didn’t save us a nickel.</p>
