<p>I'm unclear what the difference is between the two Fordham campuses. </p>
<p>Are there different programs housed at the different campuses?</p>
<p>Do students usually take courses at one of the campuses or do they use both?</p>
<p>And where is campus housing located? Is it near both campuses?</p>
<p>Any information you can provide would be most appreciated.</p>
<p>I see the thread below, but am still a bit unclear.</p>
<p>A lot of programs overlap but there are some that are only available at one campus or the other.</p>
<p>Most students take most of their classes at one or the other but can definitely schedule a class at the other campus for a change of pace, or if it’s only available at one. But you have to allow for travel time between the campuses, so I don’t think students will take too many at one time at opposite campuses.</p>
<p>Lincoln Center has one high rise building, that is the only housing at LC. It is next to the building that houses the classroom, cafe, theater, etc.
Rose Hill has all kinds of dorms available on campus. It is a big campus with green space. And I understand some students also live off campus in the Bronx, but I am not familiar with that campus at all.</p>
<p>I suggest you read the post below once more and look at the Fordham website. </p>
<p>There are two distinct options for undergraduate students at Fordham. Both are great options, but each person has to decide which is the best fit for him/her. Each campus has its own “personality” (see post below). RH is a traditional campus in the Bronx and LC is a smaller, more urban campus in Manhattan. </p>
<p>In a nutshell, a HS senior will apply to either the Rose Hill or Lincoln Center campus. Both campuses have housing and both have a full range of classes (although some majors are only offered at one campus such as business is a RH and theater is a LC - detailed information is on the website). All of the sports take place at RH if that is important to someone. Students typically take most of their courses on their home campus but many people either take a class and/or go to activities at the other campus. Transportation is provided between campuses by a school run van (the RamVan).</p>
<p>If someone is unsure as to which campus they want, I suggest visiting both.</p>
<p>LC is distinctly more artsy and RH is distinctly more preppy. Not to generalize because there is great diversity at both campuses. But for purposes of kids applying and what teenagers want to know, that is it in a nutshell.</p>
<p>While RH is in the Bronx, its VERY safe. Gated, well groomed, in an eclectic district with fabulous restaurants nearby, the Zoo and Botanical Gardens. </p>
<p>Easy access to Manhattan on the Metro North Train which stops at Fordhams’ gates. Or the RamVan which goes between the two campuses.</p>
<p>Business school is at Rose Hill. Some majors are only at one campus or another, so check and see…arabic and middle east studies e.g. I believe is only at LC. </p>
<p>Students do take classes at both campuses. My kid took three at LC, but was matriculated at Rose Hill and graduated from Rose Hill. A great experience.</p>
<p>Visit both campuses and decide. Good luck.</p>
<p>In order: yes, but only wrt arts (theater, dance) at LC and science (bio, chem, physics) and business at RH; usually only at their “home campus;” housing is on-campus at LC and both on-campus and within several blocks of campus at RH.</p>
<p>Previous threads have discussed the differences ad nauseam. Do visit! It’s the best way to get a feel for each campus.</p>
