If anyone would like to ask me anything about Fordham, Fordham’s Lincoln Center campus and/or Gabelli @ Lincoln Center, I’d love to answer!
I kind of wish I had the opportunity to ask a student questions when I was applying last year so I thought I’d help out anyone in need.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Anyone is free to ask or answer questions in this thread.
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions!
What is it like to live in LC? Are there many activities to do during free time or do you just go out in the city?
Living in LC is absolutely the best. You’re in the center of, in my opinion, the best city in the world. There is practically an unlimited number of things to do and experience.
Is the res life really strict in LC? I’ve heard some complaints about the guest policy, is it really that bad? And how is the food?
Relative to other schools in the area I’d say it isn’t that bad. I’m a commuter but I crashed in my friend’s dorm room so many times that the security guards literally think I live there. Officially, you’re required to get a guest pass at least 24hrs in advance, and there is a limit to the number of times someone can stay in your room. Unofficially, if you follow the rules, are respectful and are cool with security/RAs, I’ve heard, that you can avoid the whole pass rule etc.
Oh, and the dining hall food is pretty horrible, there are other on-campus dining options that are quite good though. Students are working to get rid of the current dining hall food provider and hopefully by next year it should be better.
Is the Information Systems major at Fordham Gabelli at Rose Hill good?
How is the faculty and program itself?
What are post-grad opportunities like? (job placement rate)
Also, is it possible to major in information systems at Gabelli and also do a computer science minor through just Fordham?
