The campus has security guards at all times at each entrance. You must show ID when you try to get back on campus. There have been a couple of thefts on campus involving neighborhood kids sneaking in but those are pretty rare; my friend got his wallet stolen but it was soon found. When you walk out of the gates you MUST use common sense of course— another friend got jumped and they broke his arm… however, he was ALONE at night which definitely isn’t the best thing to do in the bronx… haha. Always have someone with you.
As far as having guests or anything like that Fordham is fairly strict, unfortunately. You can’t have anyone of the opposite sex stay over (unless you get someone of their gender to sign them in which isn’t allowed but done anyway) and you must notify fordham 24 hrs in advance if anyone is coming. If you do want someone of the opp. sex to stay over, then the above advice isn’t a bad option (just make sure to keep very quiet about it). The dorms are nice – some are better than others. Some are “party-like” dorms and some are more quiet such as Queen’s Court. In Queen’s Court there is a close-knit community where residents can get the opportunity to go to broadway shows together as well as other city trips. Since Fordham isn’t a large university, you’ll get to know most of the people in your building (no matter which dorm you choose) and you’ll definitely make some close friends. My dorm has had trips to yankee games, kareoke nights etc. which are fun, however, going to the bars is the most popular event.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Fordham is def. the best decision I’ve ever made and you’ll have the time of your life if you end up coming. The city really is a great place to live.
