Both Fordham University’s Fordham College Rose Hill and Fordham College Lincoln Center are in New York City, in different boroughs. LC is in Manhattan, and RH is in the Bronx, as you mention. RH is the larger campus with a larger student body. It gives the classic college experience - complete with expansive lawns, old stately buildings and a bell tower. LC is a small city campus, more of a ‘vertical’ school - with a much smaller number of students.

Which you would choose depends on what you are looking for in a school experience. It is common for RH or LC students to take classes in at the other campus, but that does involve a 30-45+ minute commute each way, depending on traffic. If Bio is your passion, choose RH. If being in Manhattan is the most important to you, choose LC. However, note that all core classes (and there are many) must be taken at your own college.

How often a student travels to Manhattan from RH is up to the individual - Metro North train is located just a few steps away from the RH gate. Fordham Road is a bustling area, and a couple blocks from the famous Little Italy of Arthur Avenue, where it is easy to become a ‘regular’ and feel at home. Graduation for all Fordham University colleges is held at RH.

LC is a block west of Columbus Circle, at the SW corner of Central Park, and a part of the concert halls of Lincoln Center. A great location for fine arts!

There is no ‘right’ answer - it is up to each person to decide what matters most to them.
