Clubs and Orgs
I'm involved in the Residence Hall Association, which is the student government for resident students at Rose Hill. It is pretty popular, with 70 members representing every residential hall on campus. We put on programs in the dorms and campus wide throughout the year, with our signature event being the Under the Tent dance. People are pretty involved on campus, either in a club or in volunteer work. Volunteering is really popular. Freshmen definitely leave their doors open. Athletic events, such as basketball and football, aren't that popular because our teams aren't that great. They do a lot of giveaways to get people to come to the games though. The school definitely attracts some great speakers, most recently John Stossel, David Axelrod, Brian Williams, Blake Mycoskie, and Anthony Wiener were on campus. I met most of my closest friends through being involved with RHA. The dating scene is pretty good, definitely a million places to take a date with Manhattan being so close. If your awake at 2am your probably drunk, as Tuesday is a big night to go out. Traditions are Fordham include Orientation, Welcome Week, Presidents Ball, and Spring Weekend. People usually go out Tuesday, Friday, Saturday. Thursdays sometimes, but not nearly as much as other schools. No frats or sororities. If your not a drinker, the city offers a million different options from shopping to seeing a show. There a bunch of performing groups on campus and one of them is usually having a showcase almost every weekend.
