That is a decision you will have to make. I have to tell you, that being offered admission you should consider yourself blessed. Fordham had over 23,000 applications for 1,700 seats. They are building more dorms. The acceptance rate is now below 40%. Its got a big plan to become even MORE competitive. So if you live on Long Island (which is for some kids only 30 minutes away or less), then its not too difficult to understand why they offered housing to kids who truly need it.

Yes, living in dorms can be fun…but its also a wild experience and not very healthy, frankly.

But I would attend Fordham and buckle down on your studies and benefit from NOT being distracted by wild kids at 300am. I kid you NOT.

Your GPA will be better and you will have a magnificent start. Then apply for housing as a sophomore and go from there.
