I’m sure a current student can answer your question better, but as a parent here is what I know. At RH there is something for everyone. There are bars in the Bronx and yes, a number of kids do go regularly. My S doesn’t drink much at all but still has a fun social life. I think it helped him that he was in Queens Court freshman year where he met a number of other kdis who are not into drinking/drugs. He tends to hang out with friends and go to Arthur Avenue (great, reasonably priced Italian restaurants near campus), to a party in someone’s suite (he’s a junior so he and many friends are in suite style dorms), into Manhattan a couple of times a month for movies, concerts and events like the San Genaro festival and maybe catch a show once in a while. Without drinking/drugs I can tell you that he feels busy all the time. He has a much bigger group of friend and a much better social life at Fordham than he ever had in HS.
