Residence Hall Accommodations
Students registering for summer session classes can live on-campus in the Bill of Rights Hall. This is a traditional residence hall, recently renovated to enhance this high rise environment. A newly renovated kitchen on the 12th floor will prove to be an ideal place to prepare or share a meal and relax with a view overlooking Hofstra’s campus and surrounding community. All rooms in the Bill of Rights Hall have new state-of-the-art furniture to maximize your comfort while residing on campus. The building is staffed 24 hours a day by resident security representatives and RAs are on duty each evening from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. the following morning. Rooms are furnished with a bed, mattress, desk, desk chair, desk light, and wardrobe/closet. Residence hall accommodations also include access to Hofstra’s computer network, cable, and local telephone access. The Bill of Rights is air-conditioned to ensure your comfort while residing on campus this summer.
Applying for Housing
To apply for on-campus housing, complete the Housing Application found in this Bulletin and return it with proof of payment. Assignments are made on a date-received basis with priority given to students enrolled in classes, returning Hofstra resident students and those students required to reside on campus. (Roommate requests are considered only when both applications are sent together.) Housing may be available for visiting students.
*All payments must be made in the Office of Student Accounts.
Notification of Housing Assignments
Assignments will be made in early May and will continue until all beds are filled. Students will be contacted by telephone with their summer assignments.
Summer Housing Policies
Summer residents are subject to all Residential Programs policies and procedures that are in effect during the regular academic year.
Summer Storage
Storage space is not available on campus for the summer housing period. Information about local storage companies is available through the Office of Residential Programs.
Hofstra Summer Pre-college Program
HSPC students live in Liberty/Republic Hall, a two-story facility with an internal courtyard, double and single occupancy rooms, lounges, cable TV, Internet access, washer/dryers and common area bathrooms. It is also where the Hofstra University Health and Wellness Center is located. Students are overseen by a residential life professional and undergraduate program assistants. The program fee provides each student with a dining card (with a pre-set amount) which can be used at any one of the on-campus restaurants. Students can add funds to their cards if needed.
Dining Plans
Several meal plan options are available to all summer students, but the purchase of a meal plan is not mandatory. Meals are also available on a cash basis at the Student Center and other campus restaurants. Students desiring a meal plan can make these arrangements through the Office of Hofstra Card Services (all payments accepted).
