I grew up in a very small town. Although my high school was a
large regional public school, combining two towns, I still felt a little
claustrophobic. When I was college shopping, I wanted a place that I had a good
group of friends, but also one where I had independence without feeling like
big brother was watching. Fordham was the perfect embodiment of this desire. My freshman year I took part in Urban
Plunge, a program I would recommend to any incoming freshman, and within the
first few days I had made friends that I know I will have for the rest of my
life. Additionally, as a member of the track team, I have a family surrounding
me in that sense.
All of that being said, I still feel that I can strike out
on my own. I recognize many faces on campus, but definitely not all. When the
campus starts to feel small, Fordham students can go to the Lincoln Center
campus for class or events, or any other part of the city for that matter. The
school is as small or large as you make it. Fordham is a place you can
customize to your taste, and that is the reason so many love it.
