Hofstra University Families Can Now Book Private Campus Tours With Current Students
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — September 8, 2026 — SchoolScoops, a platform connecting prospective college students and families with current student guides for private, peer-led campus tours, today announced that families can now book private tours at Hofstra University. Each tour is led by a current Hofstra student, offering a one-on-one alternative to the official campus tours run by the university's admission office.
“A campus visit shows you what a school looks like, but a current student tells you what it feels like,” said a co-founder of SchoolScoops. “Our Hofstra guides can speak honestly about their classes, their majors, and life on Long Island, and families get to steer the conversation.”
Hofstra is one of 100+ colleges and universities now on SchoolScoops, where a network of 2,400+ current student guides holds an average rating of 4.98 out of 5.
