<p>I'm going to RH in the fall, but now I'm starting to think that LC would probably be the better option for me due to the fact that they have more international classes, I want to do law, and I want to do internships in Manhattan thus there would be less of a hassle for me and because I'm extremely liberal and I've been getting a bit of a conservative vibe from the RH kids. </p>
<p>Any input on if my thinking is correct?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Take a month and try RH, but visit LC to test and compare which campus you like better. Then if you decide you fit better at LC, just submit a written campus transfer request to ResLife. The transfer process was pretty easy for me ( I did it earlier this spring), and I don’t know how it will be when we’re actually in school, but try anyway. You’ll probably get tripled though, if it goes through (there’s like, over 70% in triples at LC).</p>
<p>Oh, but from what you’ve said, it does sound like you’d fit in at LC!</p>
<p>You can take classes at the opposite campus before choosing to transfer to that campus if you want. I think core classes may have to be taken at your home campus though. I really don’t remember; but try signing up for a few LC classes and see if you really want to switch.</p>
<p>My D goes to the RH campus. We are from San Francisco, the liberal bastion of the world. Anyway, she feels perfectly happy on that campus. I am sure there are more conservative students there, but there are a lot of progressives as well. She and a bunch of other students worked for Obama, taking buses to PA, and meeting up with other students from Columbia, NYU, etc for political work. </p>
<p>My D is very liberal and has had no issues. Also she works in a job that requires her to go into Manahattan, Queens, everywhere and the RH site was not a problem for her job. She tookk the subway, metro nothh the ramvan, depending on where she needed to be.</p>
<p>RH is def conservative compared to LC. Maybe it has to do with location with LC being in the heart of the city and RH closer to Westchester/Upstate. Anyways, I’d say LC might fit for you. But be warned, you will not get the campus feel, as LC is pretty much one building. Don’t know if you want to do that for four years. Good thing is Fordham is going to spend $1.6 billion on the LC campus over the next several years and will have 8 new buildings (new building for law, graduate school of business, graduate school of social service, graduate school of education, theater, library, residence hall, and a few others I think). But that will be completed after you graduate. </p>

<p>My D just got in internship in Manhattan. She is at the RH campus. SHe goes in twice a week, nine hours a day. Not super easy, but she planned her schedule that way</p>
<p>Depends on the individual. My D chose the LC campus because she liked the urban feel. never was one that got into the whole college campus feel sort of thing. Didn’t want/didn’t need the ivy covered buildings spread out over lush green carpets. She loves the fact that her dorm (yes there is only one) contains all the undergrads and graduate students and law students and is connected to the main building which houses classrooms, library and cafe so that they don’t even have to go outside if the weather is bad. Didn’t want to be 30 minutes (without traffic) away from the City. It really depends on what fits for the person. I wonder what the OP decided to do?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the advice.</p>
<p>I’m at Rose Hill, I’m probably going to be here for the rest of the year. I’m battling the conservatives one by one, especially since somebody drew a swastika and a Hitler mustache on the Howard Dead sign in the dorm. A few of my friends and I are think of possibly getting an apartment in Manhattan next year so we’ll see what comes of that.</p>
<p>Thanks again</p>
<p>Which dorm? I never saw anything like that during my three years at Fordham. Granted RH students are a bit on the republican/conservative side, but they are not THAT extreme as to do something like that. Probably just one a$$ that decided to do something like that while being drunk because he thought it would be funny. RH is a good place. I’m indian and I never got a racist vibe or anything - it definitely is a diverse campus, probably more so than LC.</p>
