<p>My D is trying to decide between U or Rochester or Fordham.
She will be out of the country the entire month of April so can
not visit and didnt visit beforehand. Oddly enough she is drawn to both the open curriculum of UR and the strict core classes at Fordham. She wants a traditional
college campus experience with the opportunity to be involved in clubs and
intramural sports. She is undecided in her major but is leaning toward International Relations, Political Science and/or Womens Studies.
Financial aid is similar for both.</p>
<p>Any help, thoughts, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>i think fordham will prolly be a good match for her, considering fordham (rose hill campus) has a more traditional edge to it and has a great history department there too. i am also planning to major in international relations & history, and i decided to go to fordham..i guess i cant say much for her, but i think you as her mother should also give a visit to the campus too since it can realli change your perspective...visiting gives you a feel of the campus and how the university operates..and from there you can decide if that is her taste...for me it did..i hope that helps</p>
<p>Thanks dreaming, I did think about visiting the campus for her but that seemed a bit odd so it's nice that you pointed it out. I would like to think
I could tell what would work for her but I'm not sure.
I also sent you a private message with another question.</p>
<p>gosh, i totally understand your situation. Last year I was torn between U of R, and fordham. It's a tough one.<br>
The only thing i can say is that U of R probably has a more diverse selection of clubs and ECs. And you should consider your daughters comfort with religion. I kind of feel that those that are religious are a bit more comfortable in the Fordham setting than those that are not. It's not a huge deal, but its something to think about.</p>
