<p>Toured Fordham Lincoln Center yesterday. It is in a great neighborhood and new freshman dorms have a great view. It definitely seems like a wonderful place for those going into the arts, but with such a high percentage of kids commuting, I am wondering about the social/student life aspect for those students residing on campus. Does it feel like school is empty over the weekend? Where do kids go to socialize? Didn't really notice any big student union or green space. Assuming that there is a favorite bar/restaurant locally or that kids hit Central Park, but would love to hear from future/current students and parents.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m commuter, so I don’t know everything that goes on. However, I do know that students find plenty to do over the weekend. They go festivals in other areas, visit each other’s dorms,many go to parties sometimes too. The fact that the train is so close by makes it convenient for students to explore the city to their liking. But yes, there is definitely a social life at LC.</p>
<p>As for a main hangout, I’m not quite sure, but I get the vibe that there really isn’t one. A lot of kids do go to Central Park, which is great since it’s nearby. Also, there are so many restaurants in the area that there’s any place to eat and hangout. Also, I think some kids just hangout at the plaza in front of the Met. </p>
<p>Anyway, that’s all I have. I’m sure other students could tell you more.</p>
<p>Thanks Reader 13. Always tough to get real vibe about school when school isn’t in session. Fordham has so much to offer, just need to decide what campus is the best fit. Lincoln Center campus truly has the best of NYC at its doorstep. </p>
<p>I’ve been at LC for a year and a half, and honestly, it depends on what kind of person you are. The good news is that there is a social life.</p>
<p>My first year I hung out with people who did everything outside, which makes sense for freshmen excited about NYC. We went to museums, parks, restaurants, some go to clubs, I went to concerts, it was fun. Only bad part is that it gets expensive.</p>
<p>Second year I roomed with more “indoors” people and I went to club meetings and activities with them as well as just hung out in the dorms. You’d be surprised how many people stay inside and just hang out, play music, games, or watch movies.</p>
<p>So I guess my conclusion is that there is a social life both in and out the school.</p>
