The Fordham Campuses are quickly filling up with students
once again as classes quickly approach. Here at the Rose Hill campus, students
are looking forward to more than just classes. On campus there are already a
variety of activities going on. Many students are moving in early to prepare
for the incoming freshmen and to prepare for the university clubs and sports.
And just as quickly as students are moving in, posters are already going up to
advertise upcoming events like the Annual President’s Ball.

I am a senior with a double major in political science and
women’s studies. I just moved into Campbell Hall on Wednesday. My on-campus
apartment is located on the sixth floor of the building and I have a great
panoramic view of the Bronx. I am lucky enough to be spending the next nine
months living with my three best friends before we all graduate! It goes by so
fast! I moved in earlier than the rest of my peers to participate in training
for the Rose Hill Society. RHS consists of about 180 volunteer student ambassadors
who become experts on the ins-and-outs of Fordham in order to share our
knowledge with prospective students. At our training, the society hears
presentations from a variety of departments on campus. We are always up-to-date
on the most recent changes and campus happening.

Along with the Rose Hill Society ambassadors, students who
are New Student Orientation leaders, student athletes, and residential
assistants are back on campus preparing for the upcoming year. Even with all of
the orientations going on, students still seem to make time to hang out of
Eddie’s. I even had a free moment to
check out the new freshmen dorm building, Loyola Hall. The building has been
completed renovated in order to house about 120 incoming freshmen. It is
BEAUTIFUL! The first floor study lounge is very Hogwarts-esque.
It is great to be back on campus and to be surrounded by my
friends and peers once again. The Fordham community is outstanding and it feels
good to have everyone back on campus. It feels like home. And what better to
kick off the new school year than with the first Fordham football game on
Saturday?! Fordham will be versing Saint Francis University this Saturday at
home. Hopefully they can do even better than their 12-2 (wins-losses) record
from last year! It is good to get back into the swing of things.
