And take the bus from there? Gosh that is a trip! (That's the trip I used to take from Pratt to home.) You'll still have to transfer at, what, Roosevelt Field? (Still wish I was going, but my trip will take longer than the F train and N24 combined!)

870 will be there. =)

Exactly. It would be the Q30 to the N22 to the N70/71/72 for me. 2 hours of sitting on a bus instead of a 15 minute car ride..such a hassle.

Couldn't you take the Q30 to Jamaica and catch the LIRR to Hempstead? Oy. I guess either way you'd be travelling a while. Bring a good book!

From the SBPLI site info:

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.
