Thank you. I will take your advice into consideration as I make this critical decision. I can strongly assure you I’ve carefully pondered the potential outcomes offered by each living situation, and will continue to do so until I receive my financial aid offer (the deal-maker or the deal-breaker).

However, to clarify:

It IS possible to live off-campus as a freshman?

When I received my acceptance packet, I was offered housing. As I’m sure you’re aware, there are three boxes (one of which must be “checked”). They essentially read:


I accept Fordham’s offer of admission and housing.
I accept Fordham’s offer of admission but have selected to reside elsewhere.
I decline Fordham’s offer of admission. I will enroll at ____________.


I’m assuming it is possible to live off-campus at any given year.

Once again, thank you for your thorough response.
