An amazing perk of going to
Fordham that I didn’t realize until well after I came here, is Fordham during
the summer season. What’s better than NYC during the school year…NYC during the
summer time of course!

Six of my good friends are
doing summer sessions here, four of them living at Rose Hill and two of them
living in Manhattan at Lincoln Center. Fordham has AMAZING summer
opportunities. While I have a job back home that I need to go home for, next
summer I am DEFINITELY going to do a summer session, hopefully at Lincoln
Center! My four friends that are living here at Rose Hill are working at our
Call Center, which is a job here on campus that calls alumni and works on
fundraising. They’re making money and living in the city that never sleeps, how
awesome is that?! Two of these friends have internships in the city and the
other two are taking classes. My two friends that decided to live at LC for the
summer both have summer internships too! Last year another friend of ours lived
at Fordham LC for the summer, and she balanced a class and an internship, while
also having tons of city adventures all summer long! Living in NYC in such a
beautiful neighborhood on the Upper West Side is such a privilege and a great opportunity;
I really recommend that every Fordham student does this for at least one summer
session while they are an undergrad.

Fordham has a great career
services office; they can set you up with an awesome summer internship. If that’s
not your cup of tea for the summer, how about taking a summer course at one of
our two beautiful campuses?

Fordham is very accommodating
with housing, and you can choose whether you want to live at LC or RH based on
your own personal preferences. I cannot wait to visit my friends that are
staying on campus this summer!! I’m so jealous!!
Now this is one cool way to spend the summer: by earning money! How are your friends doing at their summer jobs? The call center job looks good. You get to talk to people, and you improve your communication skills too. Something like that could be useful when you get back to class, right? Forget about getting hitched on a summer fling; this summer job looks great!
