<p>what are the advantages/disadvantages? I want to apply to the LC campus but I’m not applying for a theater major. I think applying to LC might improve my chances for acceptance (correct me if I’m wrong about that), but what are the pros/cons for each campus? Thanks.</p>
<p>LC is more of a theater/dance campus and it’s in the middle of the city. There’s more commuters and a really high girl to guy ratio (which could be good or bad depending on which you are lol). Rose Hill definately seems like a more traditional, green, enclosed liberal arts college. So you can decide depending on which type of environment you’d prefer.</p>
<p>will I be ostracized as an English/Journalism major at the LC campus? I like it because it’s right in the middle of Manhattan, and it’s got a pretty appealing girl/guy ratio. But I’d honestly like to go to either one.</p>
<p>i seriously doubt you’d be ostracized</p>
<p>Visit both and then decide. But they are different in many respects. Depends on your personality and what you want from a college experience. Rose Hill is a beautiful campus in the middle of the Bronx…a very pretty part of it I might add. Good luck on both!!</p>
<p>I’m applying as an English/Journalism major at the LC campus too! I was in NYC this summer and I’m the type of person that just wants to be in the middle of everything so LC is a fit for me. Does anyone know if the magazines offer internships to Fordham students? I thought most internships would go to NYU or Columbia journalism/english majors but I have to admit I haven’t research it.</p>
<p>I’m sure you could find an internship at a magazine, even if not at the most popular magazines.</p>
<p>Rose Hill has a HIGHER acceptance rate than the LC campus</p>
<p>newyorkhopeful are you always so snide? Just a few clicks with the mouse and up popped this.</p>

<p>damn, LC campus has a lower acceptance rate? that sucks, because I think I’m definitely applying there. grtskt89, I’m the same way as you are. I hope you get in :)</p>
<p>Also, what is the acceptance rate at LC?</p>
<p>LC is more selective solely because of the theater program, not actually because it’s ‘better’.</p>
<p>is it more selective for people NOT applying to theater?</p>
<p>Excluding the theatre program (whose acceptance rate is lower than that of the Law School), Lincoln Center is somewhat easier to get into than the Rose Hill campus (I believe they had around a 45% accept rate last year. Another important factor is if you are a male or a female. If you’re a male applying to LC, you have a much better chance of getting in than a female, because of the high female to male ratio). Lincoln Centers campus is made up of approximatley 50% commuters, as where Rose Hill’s is less than 20%. </p>
<p>As I’m sure you all know, Fordham’s acceptance rate has fallen yet another 4% this year to 42%. Most of the increased applications are for the Rose Hill campus (a majority of the increase goes to CBA, but there are still marked increases at Fordham College - Rose Hill). Rose Hill houses the MAIN undergraduate colleges, and has only a few graduate programs on its campus. Lincoln Center, on the other hand, is almost the complete opposite. The undergrad population is roughly 1100 students, out of a total of around 8000 to 10,000 (I may be slightly off on these figures, but the point of what I’m trying to say is still the same). Basically, Rose Hill is the undergrad centered campus, and LC is the graduate centered campus. </p>
<p>Both are awesome locations. But one should always look a little closely at the demographics of a campus. If you really want to be in Manhattan and just can’t bear to take the 17 minute Metro-North train ride into the city, then go to LC. If you want more individual attention, and a bigger, more traditional campus, you go to Rose Hill.</p>
<p>grtskt89- no, actually, and I’ve never been called snide. if you’re trying to accuse me of bashing Fordham, I’m simply not, and didn’t mean to sound that way.</p>
<p>Thanks, Fordham217. That was a huge help. I’m glad I’m a male from Alabama applying to LC, haha…</p>
<p>mtngoat1, you should really visit both campuses before choosing. You’ll soon notice that each campus has a very different feel. Alot of people are not really comfortable w/ the Lincoln Center community. It’s a very different college experience. Just check it out. Its totally up to you. Even if you go to LC and don’t like it, it’s pretty easy to switch campuses…so don’t worry.</p>
<p>Are people not comfortable because it’s not a traditional college experience, the number of commuters, older grad students, cramped living conditions, etc? I’m the type of person that wishes I could just start working. Although I love learning I would rather go to a few classes and intern at a magazine 3 days a week. I guess the only thing that concerned me were the comments on studentsreview.com about the theatre students being super cliquish - and since LC is mostly theatre majors… There were also complaints about financial aid and the demographics of the student population.</p>
<p>I felt that LC was too high school-ish. I have not been to Rose Hill But i plan on applying there. However, i would go to LC despite its familiar feeling. Don’t hold that against it</p>
<p>Well, the apartments/dorms seem incredible and I would love to be in the middle of the city. However, I’m not sure about the social life. I’m still in the process of deciding.</p>
<p>my experience (i’m a freshman and have been here for two weeks now) is that the lincoln center kids appear to be a lot more of the “artsy” type kids. there is absolutely no beating the surrounding area at LC, especially not in the bronx, and the rose hill campus is definitely a lot more of the traditional college experience. </p>
<p>those are my two cents…</p>
<p>and oddly enough, i’m a male at lincoln center from alabama</p>
