Proposal

I will demonstrate the "town and gown" aspect of Hempstead NY and Hofstra University; in regard to how the community of Hempstead interacts with its college student counterparts. Other universities and surrounding towns have a similar relationship to Hofstra and Hempstead. I will uncover similar situations along with exposing the one we have in front of us. This will include socio-economic differences, living conditions, culture, etc. The article will feature interviews with students at Hofstra, as well as residents/business owners in and around Hempstead. It will higlight issues caused by the difference in these groups within the same community as well as show what if any conflicts have occurred.

(What is this relationship Hofstra has with Hempstead, and what schools share a similar one?)
