1. New York Has Really Dope Food

There is a reason people from all over the world flock to the Big Apple. It may be the sights that draw people to New York, but the diverse culture and food make them stay. Being just a short train ride away from New York City, students at Hofstra have access to the biggest foodie capital in the U.S. 

2. Make Foodie Friends on Campus

At Spoon HU, you will find people who love food just as much as you do. What could be better than being surrounded by other foodies on campus? The members of Spoon build each other up — through eating, that is.

3. You Get to Eat

Whether you are in the mood to eat your way through NYC or to enjoy some late-night pizza on campus, Spoon will allow you to do that—with friends! Eat your heart out and share the yummy tales with readers everywhere. 

4. Boost Your Resume
