Winter in New York can be a wonderful time to enjoy the snow
and the city. However, this winter has
been particularly brutal, so it has me looking forward to fun outdoor activities
on and around the Rose Hill campus.
Fordham looks beautiful in every season, but spring looks especially great
on this campus.
One of the most popular things to do in the spring is to
lounge around outside on Edward’s Parade (Eddie’s). The snow and cold has me dreaming of when
it’ll be warm enough to lie outside, read, play Frisbee, and chat
with friends in between classes or on the weekend. As the weather gets
warmer, Eddie’s becomes increasingly more crowded with students. On sunny days,
Eddie’s is the place to be!

Right across the street from the Rose Hill campus is the New
York Botanical Gardens. This is free for
Fordham students and is the perfect place to stroll or go for a run. I love being so close to a quiet and
beautiful space that allows me to relax and forget the stress and noise of the
city.
Another park I enjoy spending time in is Van Cortland Park,
which is only about a mile away from Fordham’s campus, so it is only an easy walk or short bus ride away. This is a huge park (one of the biggest in
New York City) with lots of trails, and scenery that’s perfect for a long run
or spending the day outside enjoying the weather.

While there is still plenty of fun to have at Fordham
despite the snow and cold, I am definitely looking forward to spending time outdoors, sans jackets, mittens and boots and taking advantage of
these beautiful places this spring during my last semester at Fordham!
