Having lived on the west coast in the suburbs my whole life, it was quite a change coming to new york city. But if you're a big fan of NYC, it’s definitely worth spending four years here, and the dorms are nicer than any apartment you’ll find in the city (you have a kitchen and a living room). Also, I can only speak for the Lincoln Center Campus here....the school is divided between two campuses so I really don't know much about the other one. Basically, don’t come here if you’re looking for the typical college experience. If you’re not from the tri-state area know what you’re getting into before you come to the city. You’ll have a lot more responsibilities than most college students, but also a lot more freedom. Prepare to learn how to be an adult and do things for yourself, because if you want the support group atmosphere of most college social scenes you can forget it. If you’re coming from far way (like I did) you better be independent and mature because no one’s going to hold your hand and baby you into doing stuff. You gotta learn how to manage money and stuff, too. I learned that pretty early. Overall it’s a good experience, I feel like I’ve become a stronger person academically and emotionally. It’s like they say, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, If New York City doesn’t kick your ass nowhere will. Except maybe like Detroit. I hear Detroit kicks peoples asses.

The faculty is mostly helpful, with a few notable exceptions. Ask someone about a professor before you take a class so you know what you’re getting into. If you get into the honors program you should do it. You’ll work your ass off, but you’ll get a good education and it makes core alot easier to finish, as you’re pre-registered for classes.

Mostly I've really enjoyed my experience at Fordham. So, the only thing I really dislike is the food. It's pretty terrible, but there are a couple places on campus that're all right. The food in the Bronx and the city, on the other hand, is awesome (especially on Arthur Ave).

Fordham's Rose Hill campus is located on Fordham Road in the Bronx. The surrounding area is poverty stricken. There are often muggings, but I haven't heard of anything very violent. If you travel in groups, it is usually safe off campus. It is not the best place to be alone at night. The Botanical Gardens and Bronx Zoo are right across the street and offer some beautiful sights. Fordham Road has tons of cheap shopping.
