<p>I just wanted to ask and get some opinions. I go to FCLC and will be entering sophomore year starting on Wednesday. I'm scheduled to live on campus again this year and I'm really dreading it. I was debating all summer if I should leave campus or not but in the end I resulted on staying on campus for at least this semester.. I was worried about being too lonely living off campus in NYC, but now that I'm scheduled to move in, I know that I've made a mistake and should have withdrawn from housing..</p>
<p>Anyway, I was really unhappy last year and I'm still unhappy this year. Unless there's a dramatic change this year, I don't think I'll stay passed this first semester. I feel guilty even thinking about leaving Fordham, but it just hasn't been the right fit for me.</p>
<p>So my question is, if I plan on transferring, is there a possibility I could get accepted by a University as well ranked as Fordham? My family has told me that if I plan on transferring, I should probably expect to go to a school that's less than Fordham. However, transferring with 46 credits, a 3.4 gpa and coming from a school as respected as Fordham, I was wondering if that was actually the case?</p>
<p>I think that if you’re miserable it doesn’t make sense to stay. I’m not sure why your family thinks you’ll only be able to transfer to a “lesser” school. I would not let that dissuade you from looking into your options. If I were you I would look into what other schools you might like. First, you have to decide what makes you so unhappy about Fordham and then look for a school that meets the needs that Fordham doesn’t.</p>
<p>Transfers happen at every school for many reasons. First, you must examine why you were unhappy. Is it disappointment in grades? Is it the culture of FCLC? Is it New York City? Homesick? </p>
<p>Transfers always lose scholarships and sometimes financial aid. Give it another semester and try hard to make the best of it. Talk to your academic advisor and RA. Be honest. Look in the mirror. Often transfers take their problems with them and the grass is not greener. </p>
<p>College is a huge adjustment and alot of pressure. For everyone. Growing up is hard to do…and sometimes painful. Focus on studies and NOT on parties and the party crowd. Seek out friends of like mind. It does get better.</p>
<p>I agree with Lefty Lou in that it is worth considering a transfer to Rose Hill. It might be worth taking a RamVan ride up to the Bronx to look at the campus and maybe even take an official tour. If you transfer to RH you should keep your housing (meaning you will get a dorm at RH), keep any scholarship you have, and you won’t lose any credits. I have a friend who transferred to RH from LC because she decided that she really wanted a more traditional college experience and she is very happy. The RH campus is not better than the LC campus, but they are different. That said, if you are unhappy with Fordham in general and don’t feel that a move to RH would help, then look into transfer opportunities.</p>
<p>I have a some questions about Fordham. First of all is it illegal to have sexual relations with someone in campus dorms? Also what is the liveliest Freshman dorm?</p>
