<p>I just received a letter from the admissions office today asking me to spend a night at Fordham. You stay with a student and then go to classes with them the next day. I know that this is a typical offer but I believe they are now offering this specific night for students that have been accepted EA. Has anyone else received this letter? Am I right about it being for EA kids? Is anyone else thinking of going?</p>
<p>yeah, i've received that letter too (actually, it was an email). i might go if i end up going on an "east coast" college trip where i would visit boston college, fordham, and maybe wellesley.. but i'm not sure yet. were there different dates that you could attend for the fordham one??</p>
<p>There was only one date. They said there is some sort of reception and then you spend a night with a student in their dorm. The date is in the beginning of February I think the 8th into the 9th.</p>
<p>My son applied RD and I did not see this letter.</p>
<p>I applied EA and got deferred and I didn't get anything about spending a night. I think this is a really cool opporunity though. I would look into it if I were you guys.</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted EA to Fordham and received the letter. I think the overnight is for 2/8.</p>
<p>xtx- is your daughter going to attend?</p>
<p>No. We're in California and she's in the middle of a bunch of dance performance rehearsals, so, sadly, we'll miss it.</p>
<p>Ahh... i see where i messed up. I received a "Save the Date" email for both the "fordham for a night" and "fordham for a day" event. That kind of sucks 'cus I was hoping to attend the Feb. 17 "Fordham for a Day" event (they also have one on the 16th), but I thought that it was going to be an overnight thing. Haha, I guess I should have read the email more thoroughly.</p>
<p>Thats odd.. i was accepted EA and never got this in my email or regular mail.</p>
<p>hey, i got this email from fordham about them willing to repay up to $150 for my trip to the "Fordham for a Night." does anybody know if they would also offer this discount for their "fordham for a day" program on Feb. 16/17???</p>
<p>I got my confirmation for the program a few days ago....is anyone else definitely going?</p>
<p>Has anyone spent the night at Rose Hill? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.</p>
<p>I am a sailing recruit at Fordham, so last weekend I spent a night at Rose Hill with a kid on the sailing team. The campus is beautiful for the most part; many gorgeous stone buildings. I will be brutally honest...the food is terrible. But it could be worse. The dorm situation tailors to any type of person. I stayed in South which is for the type of kid who is very outgoing. Many drunk students were stumbling through the halls at god-awful hours of the night, even though most of the students had midterms the next day. However, there are many other dorms on campus with a completely different atmosphere. Once you are accepted, you can request the dorm of your desire. Since the campus is gated, there is a very close knit atmosphere. My host said hi to a lot of students when he was showing me around campus. Faculty members were very accesible. When I first arrived on campus, the sailing coach had already set up an appointment for me with the president of the school. After my meeting I met my host who knew the president very well, further convincing me of the close knit atmosphere. It is also very easy to get to manhatten. There is a train right outside campus that takes you directly to grand central station. Its only a 25 minute ride. </p>
<p>The campus was very nice, although I did not feel a connection with the students.</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughts cupofjoe! How did you find the students? I see from a previous post that you are from upstate. Did it feel like just too much culture shock? Son visited Fordham, but during the summer...Thanks again.</p>
