Dear Prospective college students,
I know looking for a college has been a long strenuous process for you, or maybe not, but nonetheless, you should really take a look at this school. First off, I'm in the Rose Hill campus, which is in the middle of the Bronx. So you have a big bustling city surrounding the campus which is almost like Central Park. It is almost like a little haven in the craziness of the city. You've got shopping up Fordham road and a little bit of nightlife, but you shouldn't be thinking about that.
If that’s not good enough, what’s even better is that all you have to do is walk a few short blocks to get to the subway which will take you into Manhattan. And if you don’t like to ride the subway, there is a service that Fordham provides that can take you to the Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan and back for only four dollars! It’s called the Ram Van.
Student life here is great. When I first got here I thought that it would be hard to adjust to the new settings, but I was wrong. The staff, the Jesuits, and the upperclassmen were all very supportive. In this university, you are not just a social security number you have a name. Teachers support you if you have a problem with the work and are almost always there to help. The other students in general are very warm and easy to make friends with.
The dorm life is not that bad either. If you like a bit of noise in your life, then Alumni North or South are for you. If you like more of a community setting and quiet, Queen's court, where I live, is the place for you. There is also Hughes Hall, which has four students per room. The rooms are pretty spacious and you would have your own area including a closet and a desk, as in all of the dorms. There are other dorms, but they are for the upperclassmen only.
The academic side of this college has a very high quality. Most of the classes have no more than 36 kids, so you get more attention from the teacher. However, you do get more work, which is no problem to handle if you get your assignments in on time and study. It's that simple. In your freshman year, you don’t start taking the courses that have to do with your major until the end of your sophomore year. This makes it easy to explore the options that you have for your future career. If you cant decide, there are many services on campus that can help you to find a career that you would most likely to do well in.
My strongest advice is to come and visit. You would get a much stronger sense of what the university is all about and plus you would get to see what the campuses look like. Good luck in your future endeavors!

Love,
^Angel^
