Campus Dining at Hofstra University

F

Good Food Awful Service

The food and workers are supplied by Lackmann Culinary Services. Nobody checks up on the workers, but the food is delicious. I'd have to say it's probably one of the best campus foods I've ever tried and I've been to a fair amount of schools. The issue is the that everybody that works there is incredibly rude and is incapable of successfully doing their jobs. They close early (not fifteen minutes early, an hour early, sometimes two) without permission and without providing options for the students. Nobody checks to make sure they're still open. They're constantly on their phone, ignoring people. Many of them talk about the students in spanish to each other with the student standing right there. It's absurd seeing as that's a college campus and the majority of the students know at least a minimal amount of spanish. I completely understand every comment they make about me. There's this concept called customer satisfaction. It's what most restaurants and successful businesses work in accordance to. That is the absolutely last concern of any of these employees. The school also decided it would be a good idea to give extremely limited hours for the dining places on campus during exams. Now i don't know about most students, but I definitely need extra flexible hours during the exam period. It's absurd.

Transportation at Hofstra University

D-

Limited

Hofstra claimed when I was looking that it had so many things, that just simply aren't true. Delivery service from Dutch, the deli and food market, and transportation. It's decent with the train station, but still very limited. THEY WILL NOT BRING YOU ANYWHERE ELSE. well they claim they bring you to target. I've heard on sundays at some hour they drive you, and then pick you up in 30 minutes. If you miss it, you're stuck. They don't come back.
