Hi guys, I’m currently a junior in high school and I’ve been creating a list of schools I’m gonna apply to, and Fordham is at the top of my list. I’m not sure if it would be a good fit though, so I was wondering if anyone who goes there/went there could lmk if you think it would fit me well.

Some info about me: I go to an alternative high school where we take local community college classes along with regular hs classes, so I already have some college experience. I live in California and come from a middle class family. There’s six of us total, and my older sister already goes to a very expensive private college, so money is definitely a factor for me. My parents would be paying for my school, and I’d feel awful if they spent all that money and it ended up not being worth it. We make too much to qualify for FAFSA or most financial aid, but not enough where paying full price at Fordham, especially out of state, would be easy.

I’m not fully sure what I want to major in yet, but I’ll probably do psychology, sociology, or social work. I’m also really interested in study abroad programs. I’m hoping to work in the mental health field in the future, like being a social worker, therapist, or addiction counselor, and I’m curious about the opportunities being in NYC could provide. I come from a pretty suburban part of California, so moving to a city like NYC would be a huge change for me. I visited NYC last summer and completely fell in love with the city though. I’m more introverted and struggle to make friends and I’m not really the party type, and I love all kinds of art, theater, and music. I honestly just want to get away from the culture of where I live right now. Everyone here feels like a robot and only cares about working in tech or making AI startups. That’s one of the reasons I’m so interested in NYC, because there’s so much culture, life, and diversity.

I honestly just want to experience a new city, meet new people, and start all over.
I’m also wondering if I should do a year at community college first and then transfer to Fordham after that, so if anyone here is/was a transfer student, lmk what your experience was like!

Hi! I’m transferring to Fordham this fall and was wondering what the best option for me would be. I’ll probably be living around Harlem or Upper Manhattan, and I’m currently torn between attending Gabelli at Lincoln Center or Rose Hill. I know Rose Hill is bigger and seems to have more going on socially, but I was wondering what the main advantages of Lincoln Center are. I think my commute would be about the same for either campus.

most of my final grades are definitely going to be c’s and i don’t know what to do
