Hofstra University
Hempstead, NY
A private university on Long Island known for strong pre-law and communications programs, a respected engineering school, and a campus close enough to New York City for regular internships without being in the middle of it. It's largely a commuter-and-residential mix, with a moderate Greek scene and CAA athletics, and NYC itself absorbing a lot of weekend social life.
