I'm going to be doing a 3-month internship at the Rose Hill campus and was wondering if anyone has any insight on where to look for housing, areas to avoid or focus my search on, and any leads on sublets! TIA

Hello!

I am a current junior who is interested in being an RA but I have a few questions before I commit to the process ;;

I do plan on going to an information session but I also want input from fordham community members

1. How much is the stipend actually? I'm only finding info that they provide a stipend but I need to know if it's enough to last for the academic year or if I need to look into part-time jobs as well

2. Are meal plans included in the RA package if I don't get an apartment style dorm?

3. I plan on getting my masters at Fordham too and saw that graduate students can also be RAs. Are they limited to only being RAs in the graduate housing?

4. Any extra input on RAs would be helpful! I couldn't find a lot of recent, detailed info

Thanks in advance!

I'm a high school senior and Fordham is one of my top options rn and my plan would be to major in marketing and minor in fashion studies. I'm definitely a more high strung person and I don't want to be stuck with a straight up fashion degree that might limit my opportunities or earning in the future so I haven't even really thought about applying to FIT or Parsons or anything. As I've begun to be more serious about thinking about my future, I don't really have much passion for any industries other than fashion and styling and whatnot, but at the same time I don't want to pigeonhole myself into an industry thats I feel like is harder to succeed in than something like straight business.

Basically I'm wondering if the NYC location and fashion studies minor would be enough to set me up to work my way into the world of fashion in terms of fashion marketing and whatnot or if I might just have to live with a bit more of a boring life than I imagine for myself? Idk lmk if anyone has any insight on if Fordham to the fashion world is a viable option

Is it cutting close? Never took a ramvan straight from lc to rh for class during rush hour so I wanted to see what times ppl come to rh for 6:30 classes

I’m a national merit semifinalist with an act score to back it up (35). doing early action.

a) does this virtually guarantee admission, given my essay and transcript are solid? i’ve heard different things from different people
b) I know fordham brags about their huge scholarship packages for national merit students, but how many applicants actually get it? Do they just give out 1 or 2?

Hi everyone! I’m currently a sophomore at community college, and I’m hoping to transfer to Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business to study Finance. Honestly, Fordham is the main school I want to attend, so I’ve been pretty nervous about the whole process.

I submitted my application for spring admission this past Wednesday. At the open house this past weekend, I was told that decisions usually take around two weeks or possibly less to come out.

I’m making this post because I’m anxious about my chances and would love to hear from anyone who has applied to Fordham as a transfer student. I’d especially love to hear from students who transferred from a community college, but I’m open to hearing about anyone’s experience!

What were your stats (GPA, credits, etc.)? When did you apply, and how long did it take to receive your decision? Did you get accepted, rejected, or waitlisted?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Hey everyone! I’m currently a community college student planning to transfer to Fordham in Fall 2027 to major in Finance.

I’d love to hear about your experiences at Gabelli, especially regarding recruiting opportunities for investment banking, internships, social life, and the overall student experience.

How’s Fordham for transfer students? What are the biggest pros and cons? Would you recommend it?

I’d appreciate any honest opinions from current students or alumni.

Thanks!

Hi! I am planning to apply for the MS Media Management program for Fall 2027, and I wanted to hear from students/alumni about their experience or take on the program. Are the professors and courses of great quality?

Crucially, how are the job prospects after? I’m also an international student (who did her bachelors in the US), so I want to know if it is a good program for job placements/sponsorship as a non-citizen? How did that go? Any comments or feedback on the program would be super helpful!

With the removal of Nation Hispanic Recognition Program is there any way I can get the Fordham Scholarship? I would have gotten it if it were still a thing (Im pretty sure) so can i still get the scholarship somehow? Im not sure if I qualify for it otherwise. Thanks for the help!

I'm a senior applying to Fordham ea and I want to do Marketing as my concentration. I am a big city-life person and don't care too much for the traditional college campus, but I saw people saying that the social life at LC is not great and that it's a bit difficult to make friends, so I was wondering how true this actually is, and if it was a dealbreaker for anyone that maybe transferred to RH.

Also, I wanted to know if the business school is truly the same for both campuses and if there are any significant differences or opportunities I would miss out on by choosing one or the other.
