Do I have any chance for Fordham?

Its both, Mare. There are theme related dorms which are “wellness”, such as Queens Court (an exclusive Freshman dorm, one of the oldest and pictoresque gothic buildings on campus…next to the Church…complete with lots of stories (and they are “stories”) of haunted rooms…lol.) But other dorms have wellness floors and you sign a pledge sheet. And of course, lots of kids simply choose not to drink and party, even if they socialize with people who may…or they may choose to just hang out with kids who are non drinkers. You will find all types of people in college. It can be a bit of a shock at first, but just stay focused on your own agenda and school work. Nobody forces you to do anything. Its part of being in the real world and growing up, even if you decide not to be like some of the wild kids who show up. All dorms can be noisy. And that is an adjustment at first. Thank goodness most of Fordham classes are not in the early morning, so if you are up until 100am studying or with “noise”, you can sleep in. Very few classes start at 830am. I know some kids who have never had an 830am class. Even if you do, you can always get sleep in the afternoon.
