<p>Which one, in your opinion, is better for a college student and why?</p>
<p>I don't think that's really a fair question; it really depends on the student. From what my research has shown, they are rather different in topics of study, atmosphere, and location.</p>
<p>We Lincoln Center kids always look down upon Hillers.
Tut tut.</p>
<p>It depends on whether you like manhattan or the bronx; to me the Rose Hill campus' location is better. You are situated in an actual campus while still in the urban setting. Both schools have the same admissions requirements/difficulty, and the same curriculum so you can't really compare them in those aspects. LC is more artsy, however, and it's better for those looking to major in art. RH does have art programs but they're not as intensive. RH is better for theology and history majors. It really depends on your major and what your preferences are.</p>
<p>Actually, LC admission is a bit more stringent than RH because of its smaller size.</p>
<p>my d was wondering the same thing LC vs RH</p>
<p>She is interested in art especially photography also loves history, writing etc.</p>
<p>She was admitted to LC and she loves the suite style dorms she was shown on the tour but now she is considering RH because she wonders if she would have more of a campus feel.</p>
<p>Any more thoughts or insights from students who live at both? Culture atmosphere dining etc?</p>
<p>Any comments to help her get an idea of which place she would like to live? thanks</p>
<p>Well, at RH she will definitely have more of a campus feel, there's absolutely no comparison. RH is acres of land, trees, grass, etc. LC is merely a square block of buildings. Not to take anything away from LC, but it's just not the same. </p>
<p>Now, with that said, I think your d will have a tough time changing campus since she has already been accepted to LC. She would have to provide an "adequate" reason of why she now wants to change, and I would recommend she dont use the excuse - "because RH is nicer". Fact is that according to the program she was accepted to, she might not have a choice. You see, some programs reside on one campus or the other. Most, if not all, art professions are located at LC, meaning that students in those programs HAVE to take all their core classes at the "home" campus.</p>
<p>My suggestion is a nice long talk with her prospective dean.</p>
<p>what about philosophy majors?</p>
<p>if I wanted to, could I switch from LC to RH?</p>
<p>Philosophy dept. resides at RH - Collins Hall. If you were to major in philosophy, I dont think you can choose LC, but I'm not 100% on that.</p>
<p>I've been admitted to LC with intended major philosophy.
Would it just be better to find a way into Rose Hill?</p>
<p>do they know that you want to do philosophy?</p>
<p>You most certainly can do a philosophy program at LC. We have EVERY PROGRAM except the business major and individual science majors (ours is combined into a Natural Science major)</p>
<p>hmm, good to know. Thanks!</p>
<p>yeah - ditto that - thank you.</p>
<p>i have yet to visit fordham (i know, i know - i never had time to. but i will be visiting this sunday) but i went online and looked at the "virtual tour" of the campus plus asked a friend about it, and lincoln center DOES seem to be a campus - sure, a campus a block long, but a campus nonetheless.
any thoughts on this?</p>
<p>But it is! In my post, I was merely attempting to compare it to RH trying to make the case that you really can't compare them. They're just very different beasts lol</p>
<p>could you still get the "college experience" at Lincoln Center or is it more of an "independent, NYU-ish" experience?</p>
<p>I dont go to LC, and have never taken classes there, but from what Ive seen and conversations with LC students, if you're looking for the "college experience" in a traditional sense then you'd want to go to RH. If you are more of an independent type cat and are looking for more of a "NY", "Sex and the City kind of lifestyle then LC is the place to be. As Ive posted before, I live in the city upper west side of Manhattan and commute to RH everyday. So for me is perfect because I get the very best of both worlds.</p>
<p>LC is definitely more for the independent minded. That said, I think its important to note that you live in the same building as people you go to class with and see in the hallways everyday. Its nice to know that this homey little campus will always be there waiting for you after trapsing your way around the city any given night.</p>
<p>Ramses - Aww. Now Lincoln Center sounds like a family...
That comforts me. I am so scared of going there and finding out that no one talks to anyone else, everyone just takes classes and goes around in NYC. that everyone is too busy in their own lives to care about making some fordham friends...</p>
