I lived in Queens Court as a freshman and loved it.

I agree that the nicest freshman dorm is now Loyola followed by Queens Court. But if you want these dorms, I’d be sure to read up on the programs associated with each dorm. If the Manresa program excites you then by all means try for Loyola, if you love the idea of a wellness community at Queens then go for it – but if the underlying programs that tie the dorm together are of no interest then you would just be burdening yourself with commitments you don’t want. It is not worth joining a program you have no interest in (and taking a spot away from another who might be truly excited about the program) just for a somewhat nicer dorm room.

If the Loyola and Queens Court are not for you, then I’d suggest Loshchert and South as the next options (rooms are a bit cookie-cutter but just fine) and everyone’s last choice is Martyr’s (rooms are small).

I suggest sending back your housing form ASAP once you get it. And be prepared – Fordham always seems to be one of the last schools to send out room assignments.
