<p>Can any current students and/or people familiar with the campus tell us about the dorms?
Which is the best one? What are the differences? etc..etc...</p>
<p>Hope this helps a little…
-Queens Court - the “wellness dorm”, you have to write a letter saying you don’t drink/smoke/do drugs. The dorm is a small, close-knit community. You must commit to going to an evening programs twice a week. It can be a great experience, but if only if you want the wellness atmosphere and a lot of programmed events.
-Alumni North (Loschert)/South - typical double room dorms with hall bathrooms. Pretty new and nice.
-Tierney- rennovated dorm which has a Manresa program where you take classes with people in your dorm. The negative is that this dorm is located on the other side of campus from the rest of the freshman dorms (although Fordham isn’t a huge campus).
-Hughes - it was quad dorms - often considered more of the party dorm. But the building is going to be gutted and made into a home for CBA and may not be available as a freshman dorm next year.
-Martyr’s - I wonder if some freshmen might end up here? Small rooms, decent location
-There is also a special learning community for people in the sciences.</p>

<p>EDIT FROM A FRESHMAN WITH FRIENDS IN EVERY DORM
-Queens Court - the “wellness dorm”, you have to write a letter saying you don’t drink/smoke/do drugs. The dorm is a small, close-knit community. You must commit to going to an evening programs twice a week. It can be a great experience, but if only if you want the wellness atmosphere and a lot of programmed events.
PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN QUEENS STILL GO OUT, DO NOT BE TURNED OFF BY THE WELLNESS. IT JUST MEANS YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A BELLIGERENT ROOMMATE.
-Alumni North (Loschert)/South - typical double room dorms with hall bathrooms. Pretty new and nice.
NORTH IS NEWER AND NICER. SOUTH IS DIRTY BUT HAS THE SILC FLOOR AND MOST OF THE ATHLETES.
-Tierney- rennovated dorm which has a Manresa program where you take classes with people in your dorm. The negative is that this dorm is located on the other side of campus from the rest of the freshman dorms (although Fordham isn’t a huge campus).
TIERNEY PEOPLE TEND TO STICK TOGETHER SINCE THEY ARE SO FAR FROM EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEY GET CLOSER ACCESS TO DEAN PARMACH DUE TO MANRESA.
-Hughes - it was quad dorms - often considered more of the party dorm. But the building is going to be gutted and made into a home for CBA and may not be available as a freshman dorm next year.
TRUE STORY
-Martyr’s - I wonder if some freshmen might end up here? Small rooms, decent location
THIS IS TRUE, 2/3 WILL BE FRESHMEN. GOOD CHOICE… BOUT AS BASIC AS NORTH AND SOUTH.
-There is also a special learning community for people in the sciences.
SILC FLOOR IN SOUTH.</p>
<p>THE BEST DORM DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ARE, QUEENS PRODUCES CAMPUS LEADERS, SOUTH IS THE ATHLETES AND SILC KIDS, NORTH AND MARTYRS IS BASIC, TIERNEY IS MORE ACADEMIC THAN COMMUNITY BASED. DON’T TRY AND FIND THE PARTY DORM CUZ THERE ISN’T ONE. IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT YOU WILL, IF YOU DON’T YOU WONT.</p>
