Hello Commuters!
We hope everyone is having a fun and successful semester. With Spring Break coming up, we know that your minds can get a little frayed. Keep in mind that if you choose to repeat or withdraw from a course, you have until April 14th to do so.
We've got a great list of things happening around campus, from free movies to career building programs and our own event to help you through your home rental process.
If you want to continue to stay on top of everything that is happening on campus, make sure to "Like" Hofstra Student Life on Facebook or follow @HofstraStudents on Twitter.
Have a great (and hopefully sunny!) April. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
