Hey Positivebalance,

I would like to ask you several questions about Fordham University. I am an International Student, to be more specific I am from South America and was already accepted to Fordham University as a transfer student for Fall 2010. By reading numerous posts, I can tell that Fordham University is very challenging and demanding and that you must be an above average writer to be successful at this school. Im very scared and worry about this because english is not my first language and I am not a very good writer. Also, I read that students at Fordham are highly encourage to participate in class. To be honest, in class participation scared me a little bit due to my heavy accent and language barrier.

I went to visit Rose Hills and Lincoln Center and got the feeling that the Rose hills campus is not very diverse. I saw that most people over there are white and stick with their white friends. Please Please Please do not take it personally!! Since I didnt see that much diversity, Im worry about that. Then, I visited Lincoln Center and saw a lot of diversity and felt that I could fit in there more than in Rose hills. But I can not go to LC because Im a CBA major.

Is it possible to be a CBA major and take all of your classes at RH, but life in LC?

I would like to have more information about Rose Hills, and I would like to know if people at Rose Hills are welcoming with International Students. Also, if people at Rose Hills are arrogant or not at all?

As an international student, is it easy to make friends? Please be honest.

As I mentioned before, I am not a very good writer and I can see that Fordham students are very good writers and are very smart. Do you think I will struggle a lot at Fordham University? Is there any writing center that help international students with their papers? During your four years at Fordham University, did you have any class with any international student?

I will really appreciate it if you reply back. I really need some help. Please.

Thank you so much!
