<p>I have been reading a lot of the threads, trying to find out more about Fordham, but many of them only discuss the LC campus in any detail...So can anyone tell me about what it's like at Rose Hill?</p>
<p>is it true that business students can study only at Rose Hill, not LC???</p>
<p>You can only do a Business minor at LC. All Business Majors must go to Rose Hill. Beyond that, all the individualized majors in the business school (marketing, finance, accounting, etc..) are only available at Rose Hill.</p>
<p>To address the original question, life at Rose Hill is awesome. When I first came to Fordham I was absolutely terrified. Just the term, "the Bronx" almost scared me out of going. But, once I got acquainted with the neighborhood, I fell in love with it. All the people around campus are generally pretty nice. You will have your occasional crazy person, but this is New York, and they're usually pretty harmless. The Belmont / Little Italy neighborhood has some of the best food in all of NYC, and probably some of the best Italian food outside Italy. Let me just say pizza will never be the same for me.</p>
<p>Rose Hill itself is very different from LC. Rose Hill is a typical college campus. Sprawling green lawns, large collegiate gothic buildings (with the exception of the hideous McGinley center, which should hopefully soon be replaced) make up most of the campus. The students are for the most party very relaxed, but serious about doing work. I can't really think of enough accolades for Fordham. The people are great, the professors are attentive, and the best thing is you have this great campus that you can retreat from the city in. But, if you need to, you can take a 20 minute train ride and be in Mid-Town. Rose Hill is a great community.</p>
<p>fordham217, thanks for your info.</p>
<p>Is it a long walk from campus to the train going to Mid-town? Which train? Is the train safe? thanks. Is it true that some fordham students take causes in Columiba U? Do you find NYU students or Columbia students rude to Fordham students?</p>
<p>The train that takes 20 minutes is directly off campus. Literally maybe 20 steps from the Library gate. The type of train is called the Metro North, and it is very safe. It's actually a commuter rail line that runs up to White Plains, but makes a stop at Fordham. The Metro North is super convenient, and used by many many students. In addition to that, you also have the D train which is about six blocks west on Fordham Road. The D train will take you down the west side, and then pretty much down the center of midtown. It actually runs all the way out to Coney Island which is a must visit for Fordham students. The D train relatively safe. I've never heard of anyone getting in any sort of incident there. But, as with living in a big city, you always have to have your wits about you; travel in groups, especially at night. Also, the 4 train is just 2 more block west of the D train. It runs on the east side of Manhattan, and is also fairly safe.</p>
<p>Fordham offers a 3-2 degree program for Physics and Engineering through Colombia. The program is pretty rigorous, and you must maintain, I believe, a 3.5 to switch to Colombia for your last two years. You'll end up with a degree in Physics from Fordham and degree in Engineering from Colombia. Besides this program, no, no Fordham students take classes at Colombia. </p>
<p>As for getting attitude from other students, this is rare. Sure there are incidents, but I'm guessing the situations were not completely one-sided. In my interactions at Colombia (I've gone there for lectures, city-wide meetings, etc.), all the students have been very nice and inviting to me. I haven't had much interaction from NYU students, though.</p>
<p>Thanks, fordham217, I was unsure about the campus- I'm from a small town in upstate NY, so a move to the Bronx is a HUGE change for me, but Fordham sounds like a great school, so I'm likely to go there.</p>
<p>both Columbia and NYU students are jealous of our close knit fordham community</p>
<p>lol jealous?
sorry untrue</p>
<p>can business students minor in a foreign language</p>
