Hofstra University Public Safety

Ah good ol’ P-safe…not much to say about this joint: you go in, you come out– easy. Public safety is a misery at night, though. When a friend of mine dislocated her knee and was unable to walk for a few days, Public safety was supposed to drive her to and from class, but apparently they forgot to show up a couple times, and when they would show up, it would be 10 – 20 min late. This, to me, is just plain rude.

The inside didn’t look quite like I expected, safety officers by the front desk and college students working at the desks in the back. Only came in here to get my parking permit since I was visiting someone, which turned out to be pretty easy. I was asked why I was visiting, how long (as in days) and what my plate number was. Then I was handed a card to put on my dashboard that showed the length of time the permit was good for and my plate number. Much easier and less rough environment than most places you can get permits.

Note: the 1000 Fulton Avenue is just the mailing address, the specific Public Safety offices are on the corner of California Avenue and Hempstead Turnpike.
This place is terrifically terrible. Everyone who works here during the night shift are hicks. Serious rent-​a-​cops with ignorance on their minds. They had the balls to ask me if I was Chinese or Japanese. Then they laughingly asked us what we were doing here after we clearly told them we were here to see friends. Mind you they didn’t stop us or anything, we came in because we were a bit lost around campus. Real helpful guys. I’m sure that while the 8 of your are lounging around, someone was urinating in the bushes around the corner.
Then I gladly used their makeshift bathroom and tore paint off the walls after that horrendous «taco bell didn’t have a bathroom» experience 20 minutes earlier. Take that rent-​a-​cops. I hope Hofstra runs amuck with hordes of wild boars.
