<p>So I got accepted to LC but am having second thoughts. Some things about the campus attracted me at first but now make me wary. For example, Rose Hill is much bigger and more "collegeish". Secondly Rose Hill has a more dominant conservative population as opposed to LC's liberal majority (i am conservative). I didnt go for Rose Hill in the first place because Fordham Plaza ****es me of being so rundown and unsafe at times. LC on the other hand is in LC which is awesome. Theres also that LC denied me housing and I really dont want to live at home. Both campuses are the same time away from my home so I really dont know. If I want to, can I go to LC and then transfer to Rose Hill? Is it worth it? Help.</p>
<p>Since you are close, I would go visit both campuses one more time. Do it quickly, so you can see the two campuses when there are students around. You have to get a feel for where you are most comfortable. RH is more of a typical college campus experience I think. Don’t know much about LC but look at other threads to get a picture. Also if you are denied housing at LC, I’m guessing you won’t get housing at RH either. At RH some kids get housing off the waiting list for the spring semester and others find friends and rent apartments close to campus. Another thought is that stick with LC, you can always take a class or two at RH. If you find RH has more of what you want from college life you might be able to switch there after a year or so. I don’t really know how an internal transfer would work, so I would ask admissions or someone at Fordham.</p>
<p>Actually, you could get housing at RH since they have more housing availabilities, LC gets overcrowded easier.
You could remain at LC, take your major classes at RH while waiting to apply for transfer to RH, and then take your CORE at RH.</p>
<p>Technically, I’m an LC student but take almost all of my classes at RH. I’ll apply for transfer whenever I’m forced to. As for now, I just go back and forth as I please. Just because you’re admitted to one campus doesn’t necessarily mean you’re trapped there.</p>
<p>Whichever campus you end up in, you can always spend more time at the other, whether it is through classes or just events and hanging out.
Life at RH is definitely more challenging for those who have not been exposed to urban life but most Fordham students stick to the Little Italy area anyways. There is always the option of staying on campus most of the time or taking the Ram Van (the inter campus shuttle) to LC and then spending time in Manhattan. But, RH definitely has more of a home-y feeling to it whereas LC is very modern and more like NYU since it consists of two buildings and no beautiful green fields. </p>
<p>The best way to make to decision as mentioned in an earlier posting is to spend time in both especially with students. LC is definitely more for those who want to be in the city more often and RH is for those who want a home ground of a typical college campus and then have the option to go into the city whenever they want some excitement. Off-campus housing around RH is much easier to acquire than at LC and there are some really nice apartments, some are affiliated with Fordham that include a guard and even large kitchens and living rooms. These apartments are only one or a few blocks away from the campus. </p>
<p>As for transferring during the year, that is definitely a possibility and not at all a difficult thing. You need to have at least a 2.5 GPA and a reason for transferring; in addition to one paper application stating what I just mentioned but there is usually no problem. If you do end up commuting, though there is more of divide between commuters and residents at RH just because there are so many more residents than commuters whereas at LC, it is more of an equal percentage since there is limited housing.</p>
<p>Moral of this long and dragging response is: spend at least a day in both, meeting as many different students as possible. This will give you the best impression and it will most likely be very accurate.</p>
