The rivalry between LC and RH are almost unavoidable. Any time you have a dual (or multi) campus university there will be natural comparisons and rivalries. BUT…the good news, as stated, is that there is excellent shuttle service between the campuses daily on the hour and students take courses at both campuses to bridge the gap and have another experience. LC is also the location of the Dance School and Theater/Drama School, several graduate programs and the Law School. RH is the Gabelli Business School, the original undergraduate school, and the home to all of Fordham’s athletic teams who play all their home games right on campus. LC has far more commuter students than RH. So the differences are stark. But they both have handfuls of Fulbright Scholars and Rhodes applicants/finalists. There are some programs that are only offered at Rose Hill and some that are only offered at LC (check out the Bulletin to find out.)

That some people at either campus make it “immature” is just kids being kids. I dont view it that way to be honest. But its important that people from OOS who dont know NYC understand that Fordham’s two colleges for undergraduates (not including the adult program for undergrads at Westchester) are distinct both in location, vibe and experiences. And finally, if a student finds they are “at the wrong campus” then Fordham will do what they can to help them make a change. I know several who have done so. Its all good.
