Getting To Hofstra U. By Railroad
From New York City:
The Long Island Railroad provides regular commuter service from Pennsylvania Station in New York City to the Hempstead station, which is less than two miles from Hofstra’s campus.
Take the Long Island Railroad East on the Hempstead Branch to the final stop "Hempstead." Depending on the day and time, a complimentary blue Hofstra bus may be waiting at the station to take visitors and students to the Hofstra campus. The bus makes several stops on campus. Otherwise, just take a taxi for a short 5-minute trip to the Hofstra campus.
