Hofstra University Bookstore — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

It's a classic Hofstra experience - an average variety of exorbitantly expensive doodads.

In all seriousness, it's okay, hence the 3 stars. The bookstore stock most of the books required in your coursework here, though many could be in short supply. Think of HUB as a last resort, not a first choice: it does have book price matching now to remain competitive, but the small stock is unreliable. For everything else, HUB is very expensive. Unless you need something immediately (again, the bookstore should only be a last resort,) buy beforehand from Amazon or eBay instead.

In the back section other school supplies like pencils, notebooks, and folders can be found (again all rediculously overpriced). If you're in a time crunch, get your supplies here, if not you can find almost everything cheaper on the Internet or at...
