Hello! I am current student at Fordham Lincoln center. I can try to answer some of your questions.


The kids I have met so far are nice and easy to get along with. I haven’t had an attitude problem with anyone,and no comes of snobbish or spoiled as far as I can tell. There’s a bit of a separation with commuters and residents, but that can be fixed by participating in activities.
You have nothing to be concerned about in terms of religion. Fordham is accepting of all religions and actually, many kids are atheists. Yes, you do have to take a Theology class. However, it more discussion about the universe and philosophers and different beliefs. It doesn’t just focus on Catholicism. You won’t have any problems in that department.
What students do in their free time depends on them. Some stay in their dorms, other go out to see the city. It all depends on you. You won’t have a problem finding things to do because Fordham has daily activities on campus.
You cannot take core classes at both campuses, unless it Chemistry due to NYC laws that prohibit chemical labs in high rise buildings. Fordham will not transfer the credits from one campus to another.
I love a lot of things about Fordham. I love the friendly atmosphere, the push to,challenge yourself, and the mix of people on campus. Also, most of my professors were pretty good too. My least favorite thing about Fordham though has to be the fact that you cannot take core classes on both campuses. I would really like to take some classes at RH, but cannot because I would be wasting my time. Also, my other least favorite thing is that underclassmen at LC cannot take evening classes. Which is a real bummer because there’s a class I really want to take, but I’m not allowed to.


Overall, I love Fordham after one semester. I’ve made some friends and have learned some interesting things too. I like that Fordham pushes its students to challenge themselves in classes, sorry if it sounds cliche. Just be prepared to work!
