Are freshmen required to live in the dorms?

Well, your packet was different than ours two years ago, as I recall, and my kid is at FCRH. So it appears your choices include the possibility of living off campus and fending for yourself. What would be your motivation with that? Certainly not cheaper unless you live at home nearby. And trust me, the stresses of freshman year are significant enough, you dont want to be stressed out with monthly rent, light bills, food bills, doing dishes, taking out the garbage, finding a laundromat on and on and on. Roommates are roommates whether in a dorm room freshman year or an apartment. Either they are responsible or they are not.

And you miss out on a lot of good social activity. Then again, LC is a different situation from RH.

Fordham still has a significant number of commuter students at both campuses. Good luck.
