No on campus housing?

so it looks like both LC and Rose Hill have more students accepted then dorm space…does anyone know if there’s a “wait list” for dorm space?..the problem with this of course is that you’d have to let Fordham know you want to go by May 1…and maybe housing won’t open up til after that date…what happened??..is Fordham becoming more of a residential school…attracting more out of staters…?? the problem is that living in the dorms is usually a “freshman thing”…by sophomore year, lots of kids want to be in an apartment…this would mean doing the reverse (if you don’t want to commute from home)…might be strange…unless there are a lot of others doing it…but the downside is that all those others will be “locals” too…I think Fordham is going to lose a lot of good applicants who would have stayed in the area after graduation and been active “alums”…If anyone has spoken with Fordham about the off campus housing service mentioned in the acceptance letter…(esp for LC) would be curious about that…afterall an apartment near LC (even with roommates) is probably even more than a dorm would be. thanks again for everyone who replied to my last post…
