One of the major decisions all Fordham applicants must
choose from is which campus they want to go to: the beautiful and iconic Rose
Hill campus in the Bronx, or the happening, city campus smack in the middle of
Manhattan. Now let's admit it- that's a really hard decision. That one check mark on Fordham’s application is bound to determine your college experience for the next four years…or will it?

While students do have to chose between which campus they
want to live and primarily take classes, there are a multitude of resources and opportunities
on both campuses that can be pursued
by all students. I believe that this is one of the most overlooked perks of
Fordham University. Not only can students from each campus take classes at the
other campus, but the dining halls, facilities, libraries, and study spaces are
available for everyone. Essentially everything on both campuses is at
most only a Ram Van ride from students’ fingertips.
Perhaps the biggest of these perks is the ability for
Fordham students to dorm on any Fordham campus during the summertime, given they
take an academic Fordham summer course or have an internship. This gives
students the flexibility (and affordability) to take classes or work in
Manhattan during the summertime. Additionally, it gives students the
opportunity for a change of scenery from their normal campus and dorms.

It is possible to get the best of both worlds from the Rose
Hill and Lincoln Center campuses; students just have to utilize all the
resources and opportunities that they are given. As for me, I love living in the Bronx during
the year but plan to switch over to Lincoln Center again for the summer months (despite
the sweaty subway rides).

My son mistakenly applied to LC (too long a story) when he thought he was applying to Rose Hill. LC just accepted him w/tons o' dough. I'm a wreck waiting to call admissions tomorrow a.m. to find out the answer to this question: if he didn't initially apply to Rose Hill, can he "internally transfer" as an incoming freshman?
