GROUP INFORMATION SESSION AND TOUR
Guided Campus Tour*
Take a campus tour with one of our Pride Guides (student tour guides) in small groups of two to three families as we guide you through Hofstra's campus!
Highlights of our information session will be emailed to you ahead of your visit. Upon arrival, you'll tour campus with one of our Pride Guides (student tour guides). During your campus tour, Pride Guides will point out to you Hofstra’s Student Center, Axinn Library, and many of the academic facilities available to undergraduate students. Combined, this visit will help you discover if Hofstra is a place you can call home.
Please note your tour will be an outdoor walking tour. Residence halls will not be available as part of your tour. We will use virtual options to show you these spaces. We will be able to show the inside of buildings during all tours in January.
During the spring semester, we will only be able to show the inside of buildings on weekday afternoons and during all tours on Saturdays and Sundays – when classes are not in session. During other tour times, we will use virtual options to show you these spaces.
Check out our additional guided campus tour opportunities as part of our special Presidents Week programming!
