What is Hofstra like?

<p>Living on campus? Hi everyone. I just got back from a college tour at Hofstra University two days ago and I fell in love. I live in CT but I've lived in Queens for 14 years (basically my whole life). I am 17 now, and I know that Hofstra is right by a huge mall, a beach and a few select theme parks I've visited when I was younger. I haven't mentioned it to the tour guides or the admissions counselor cause I've been living in CT for 3 years now. </p>

<p>Now, my questions are basically how is the dorm life? Also, are there too many parties? And lastly, how is the surrounding area? I'm from Queens, not Hempstead so I have no clue what kind of area it is.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance :)</p>
