<p>I only visited Rose Hill, but I was just wondering, for any Journalism majors out there, if they found either Rose Hill or Lincoln Center to be more beneficial due to closer location near media outlets/professors?</p>
<p>Also, is it true that the Lincoln Center houses a large number of commuter students?</p>
<p>Is it worth switching from Rose Hill to Lincoln Center, or just try out Rose Hill for a semester/year?</p>
<p>How would one go about switching from Rose Hill to Lincoln Center? (I was accepted Early Action to Rose Hill)</p>
<p>Is it true that Rose Hill highlights a more "traditional" college experience, including sports, going to bars, and going clubbing? Because none of those things appeal to me. I looked on the website, but I couldn't get a real sense of campus life at Rose Hill.</p>
<p>I have an impression not based on fact that Lincoln Center would be better for journalism. I do believe its location is better for internships or whatnot, but I don't know about professors. </p>
<p>No idea about commuter students. </p>
<p>I'm into (and probably going to) Lincoln Center, so I think it's better, obviously, but if you want to try out RH, I'm sure it's nice, too. But RH is definitely the more traditional of the two. If you don't want a traditional college experience (I don't), I'd say you'd be better off at LC. RH is where the sports are, yes.</p>
<p>If you think living in Manhattan means not going to bars and clubbing.....ummm.......well.....guess again.</p>
<p>....I obviously realize that going to bars and clubs are part of living in Manhattan. </p>
<p>It's just that based on what I've read online, at Rose Hill, SUPPOSEDLY, students either:
* take a 30-minute train ride into Manhattan every weekend that many felt tedious and expensive, or </p>
<p>*They stay in the Bronx and frequent bars/clubs in the area.
And some said that going to bars felt monotonous, but they felt drawn to it because of a lack of activities on campus. </p>
<p>I don't know if they were being melodramatic, or whatever- I just was wondering.</p>
<p>I am not a sports fan at all- I love going to plays, shopping, going to museums, plain old walking around the city, and going to concerts. I kind of feel like LC might be more for me. I've visited Rose Hill and liked it, and I didn't really consider LC because I read online that it was mainly a "commuter school." Which is probably a false assumption, but one that effected my college application.</p>
<p>My friend and I have similar interests and are considering transferring from Rose Hill to Lincoln Center, but I'm just not sure if it's worth calling them to transfer from Rose Hill to Lincoln Center.</p>
<p>I got in early action with a full tuition scholarship, but once I receive my regular decision acceptances and financial aid packages, I'll decide if I'm actually going to go there or not.</p>
<p>Is it worth calling Fordham to transfer from RH to LC as soon as possible, or just wait it out and worry about it in March? I'm just wondering if anybody's gone through the process before.</p>
<p>I applied EA to the Lincoln Center for Journalism, and it may just be my opinion but I feel like it's the best bet for anyone looking for a career in the public sphere. I'm not saying to transfer, but maaaaaybe you might want to reconsider, because if you do intern it'll probably be in Manhattan and you will have to commute from the Bronx everyday. Beyond that the Lincoln center is gorgeous, I mean Central Park is minutes away.</p>
<p>I mean, yeah, bars and clubbing are going to be there in Manhattan, but when I think of a "traditional" college experience, I think of a) sports and b) drinking being the only recreational activity around. And with all Manhattan has to offer, sure, there's partying, but that's not all there is; if you want something else to do, you can find it.</p>
<p>The "REAL BEAUTY" of Fordham is precisely what is being contemplated here: that it offers two fabulous venues, similar in academics, but perhaps a touch different in campus culture and venue. I will only say, though we are conservatives, that after visiting Fordham College-Rose Hill in April 2007, for the admitted students orientation (dog and pony show to get you to commit before the deadline of May 1), that we had "an Epiphany" and were sold, by the students, faculty, facilities and campus. And the creme on the top was Fr. McShane's inspirational speech and his conversing with us for almost 30 minutes later on. </p>
<p>The point is to go where you feel the best fit, where you will thrive and grow intellectually, spiritually and personally. </p>
<p>God Bless. Merry Christmas.</p>
