Hi - can any parents or kids with Fordham experience share some reasons to choose Fordham Rose Hill, or to not choose Fordham Rose Hill? Coming down to the wire…Really appreciate it!
What’s your intended major? Any main concerns?
Hi - leaning towards biological sciences? Really like Fordham a lot. It’s on the table with BU and UConn right now.
My daughter is a Freshmen at the Rose Hill campus and loves attending Fordham! She loves feeling challenged by her professors in the classroom as well as by her fellow students. She has met nice friends! She takes advantage of all of the various clubs and internships that are offered. Even as a Freshmen, she has been able to get involved in leadership roles. The beauty of the campus is breathtaking every season of the year. She steps outside the university gates to be part of the culture of the Bronx neighborhood. NYC is at her fingertips and she has learned to navigate it very quickly. Many opportunities will be available upon graduation from Fordham!
The campus is great. However, our science department isn’t known to be cutting-edge.
I concur with what @atp1234 says. I would seriously think twice about Fordham for science. There are those that do well, but the facilities are lacking. Fordham is an excellent school, but isn’t really up-to-date in regards to the labs.
Thank you, @atp1234 and @MomTheChauffer. This insight is much appreciated.
