Fordham VS locally

[eggpuffs]

I’m an incoming college freshman and I’ve narrowed down my choices to either the Ateneo (locally) or Fordham in New York. I’m pretty sold on the academics at Fordham but feel that I am not exactly emotionally ready to move halfway across the word just yet.

I don’t know whether to take the plunge and move abroad this year or maybe take a year here in the Philippines and reapply again for sophomore year.

Thoughts?

I’m not an international student but one of my friends is and shes still really close with the rest of the people she made friends with through the program. I think it’s called global transition
