Navigation on Hofstra's campus

Hey guys! I just got accepted into Hofstra and i will be heading there this fall. Does anyone have tips on getting around Hofstra's campus? It looks really big and I'm not sure how to navigate it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Congrats on getting accepted into Hofstra! You're heading to a campus with a wonderfully green and welcoming atmosphere.

The Hofstra campus does spread over a decent expanse, but it's quite doable to navigate. As such, it's helpful to keep these points in mind:

1. Familiarize yourself with Unispan: The Unispan is a handy footbridge that connects the north and south parts of the campus, going across Hempstead Turnpike. This will most likely be a part of your daily path as you commute between your classes and dorm.

2. Get comfortable with Hofstra's shuttle services: Hofstra runs shuttle services that can take you around the campus and to nearby places like local shopping locations or Mineola Train Station. The shuttle stop is generally near the Student Center.

3. Use a Campus Map: You can get a physical campus map from the Information Center or use the digital one available on Hofstra’s website. This will give you a good idea about where your classes, dorms, dining areas, and other points of interest are.

4. Take a Walking Tour: In the initial days of your college life, it might be interesting to take a self-guiding walking tour of the campus. Hofstra's website provides guides for such tours. This can help you familiarize yourself with the layout of the campus.

5. Reach Out When Needed: Don't hesitate to ask for directions from upperclassmen, faculty, staff, or even your fellow freshmen. Hofstra has a friendly campus community and they'd be more than willing to help.

Navigating a campus might seem intimidating at first, but I'm sure you'll get the lay of the land in no time. Enjoy your time at Hofstra!
