This may sound like a stupid question, but is there any way i could live at Lincoln center campus, but receive an accounting degree from rose hill? I absolutely love the Lincoln center campus but the majors for gabelli there do not interest me as much as the ones offered at Rose Hill.
I don’t believe that is a possibility. Feel free to call admissions to double check.
However, if you are a Fordham student you can stay at LC over a summer (for extra $ of course).
Even if you could, I just don’t think that would be ideal. Having to always get on the Ram Van or take the subway would be annoying after a while. And what if there is a two or three hour break between your classes, where are you going to go? If you take classes where you live, you can go back to your room.
The Lincoln Center campus has new buildings and dorms. Those are attractive. But they are apartments and you are on your own for cooking and eating. Its a special place. But accounting is at Rose Hill Gabelli. And Rose Hill is awesome. I dont understand your fear of Rose Hill? Can you explain? Its a fabulous campus, wonderful people and faculty. So much fun. If you prefer to ping me by pm that is fine.
Fordham is not obligated to accomodate all campus changes. They do their best depending on available dorm space.
My kid was at RH but took three upperdivision classes at LC and an internship on upper west side (which she got from a mentor at RH btw).
Again, I would give RH a try and then if you are still unhappy, make the change to LC. They may accomodate you now, but LC is much much smaller school. 1/5 the size of RH. Most of the people who prefer LC are artistic people, or who are NewYorkers who are commuting, and some out of state people who had a misperception and fear of the Bronx.
If you want to major in Accounting then RH is the place for you.
@sovereigndebt Actually, the new housing for freshman students in LC is dorm-style. I think it’s called McKeon Hall. Two rooms share one bathroom (no communal bathroom, there’s direct access from the bedrooms to the bathroom) but they’re not apartments. The apartments in the other residence hall are now for upperclassmen only. And there’s obviously an undergraduate dining hall (plus a vietnamese food place, a cafe and another dining hall with retail locations managed by sodexo) and if you live on-campus you’re required to buy a meal plan, so you don’t have to cook if you don’t want to.
And while the undergraduate enrollment at LC is a lot smaller than at RH, the total enrollment at LC is slightly higher than the total at RH. The Law School and Business School, plus other graduate programs are located at LC.
And yes, they do attract different types of people. But the “artistic people” stereotype does not seem to be very prevalent. The art programs like theatre and dance are very small. A big majority of students pursue social sciences, media, etc. The main difference is that LC is in a very nice Manhattan neighborhood but has a very small compact campus and no sports, while RH is a big beautiful and traditional campus in a somewhat impoverished area of the Bronx. Those who like school spirit, sports and on-campus activities probably pick RH. Those who pick LC probably prefer a very urban experience and do not want or expect their activities to focus on campus.
Thanks for clarifying the new dorms at LC. But I wasnt comparing total enrollment at both campuses. Just undergraduates. LC is one fifth the size of RH undergraduates. Yes, I know the differences well. No we cant stereotype, but they are somewhat different in feel and vibe. However, one cant be too quick to judge RH as preppy and intolerant etc. As I stated before in this thread.
