I just started my freshman year at Pace. I am a finance major and am on the swim team. I have had a great time so far my roommates are great and the team is very fun and inclusive. I like it here, but think I could do better academically.

I am from an upper mid class family not from ny. We do not qualify for much fafsa, but do not have the funds to pay full tuition. I got 40,500 yearly scholarship from pace with academic and swim included, academic being most of that number. If I keep at 3.7+ this semester, what kind of academic aid could I get from Fordham as a transfer?

Also I would like to ask for opinions on if this transfer is worth it. I love swimming and if I transfer I would not be swimming for Fordham. I think I’d be okay with this because although it’s been a big part of my life, I do not plan on swimming taking me anywhere career wise. I would also take any opinions on how much better Fordham finance is than Pace. To my knowledge it is quite good for a non target school.

All advice and opinions are much appreciated.

Anyone interested?

Hi, I'm a freshman at the Rosehill campus. I'm considering applying to RHA. Can anyone explain to me the actual work that candidates have to do? Also, does joining RHA benefit me if I want to apply to be an RA in the future?

Before school started I really was so optimistic, i was going to join clubs and put myself out there and have fun. And i did those things but even then it’s difficult. Seeing friends I did make all go out together on weekends and every night knowing I can’t. Even a lot of clubs i really wanted to join, I can’t because they meet 7-8-9pm. I accepted it and it’s fine since college honestly really is just for academics but I have to live with knowing i’m missing out on a integral experience everyone else gets to have

I want to lay out what living in Fordham housing actually looks like right now, because the marketing doesn’t match reality.

Walsh apartment-style. The bathroom came filthy from last year and still hasn’t been properly cleaned. We had brown water running from the taps for a full day. There are bugs in the unit. This is what tuition and housing fees pay for.

On top of that: $700 in textbooks for required classes I didn’t choose, and clothes already stolen from the laundry room in the first week.

I’m not posting this to just vent. I want other students to say whether you’re dealing with the same thing so admin can’t pretend it’s one complaint.

Is there anywhere quiet at lincoln center campus where a person could just squeeze in a nap? Im a first year and I’ve been cursed with almost a 2.5 gap period. I just wander around campus and go explore the area but in reality I just want a nap. Where should I go?

When will fasfa refunds for fall semester go out?

hi guys

I have unfortunately been cursed with a horrendous schedule this semester, and on Tuesdays this semester, my first class will be at 8:30am (not the main problem), which runs until 11:15am, and then I'll either have to spend the rest of my time on campus/go back home uptown until my next class at 6pm on campus, which then runs until 9:45 (this is the main problem)

so my question now is... what are some of the best places to waste/spend time in/around campus at LC? at least, places that aren't the library or cafeterias, to potentially make new friends? I've lowk been struggling bigtime to make friends since my return to classes unfortunately (esp as a commuter) and I reallyyyyy want to seriously try and lock in and make closer connections this semester (because all of the ones I've made in the past never seem to extend outside too deep/far from the class/from classwork) so I would reallyyyy appreciate any recs esp from people who are currently dorming at LC or who exclusively attend classes at LC

thanks!!!

note: I am a junior :)

hello!

i have developed a lot of unique medical needs that i prefer to take care of in a private setting.

is there any chance of getting a single at this school?

primarily asking for LC as that’s my first choice, but if rose hill is more accommodating, of course that comes before any location preferences.

thanks!

Does anyone want to from a study group for the LSAT?

as a freshman I see everyone going out and having fun meanwhile know nothing about it

where can I find the functions and parities ?!!

its smelling of weed?

hi guys!! amazon sent me a extra lamp does anyone want it for free lol rose hill campus!!

I'm a first year student at LC and I feel like I already want to transfer to a different school. Although it's universal to do in college, I feel like all people do is drink and party. Plus, I feel like the city isn't for me now that I'm here. Is it worth sticking it out at Fordham?

Edit: I'm an Economics major considering transferring to Bentley after my semester at Fordham. Is Fordham worth staying for their Economics program either? The facilities here seem mediocre in comparison to other schools too, and it's only defining feature is that it is in Manhattan. It seems more difficult to find an apartment or job post grad or even before graduation than Boston.

Hi all — applying to Fordham's LL.M. program this cycle and specifically interested in the Feerick, Treanor, and Martin Dean's Scholarships (100% tuition, 500-word essay on embodying the dean's character traits).

Does anyone know someone (or is anyone themselves) who's received one of these in past years? Trying to get a sense of:

• What kind of professional/academic background made a strong case
• Whether certain concentrations/interests seemed to align better with a specific dean's scholarship
• Roughly how competitive it is (how many are awarded per cycle, if anyone knows)

Not trying to game the essay — just want a realistic read on what the committee is actually looking for before I commit to a narrative angle. Any insight, even secondhand, appreciated!

Got to rise hill a few days ago and I’m just having such a hard time making friends. Everyone wants to go out to the local bars but I’m just not up for that. How do I find friends that just want to generally just want to hang out and stuff? Also feeling screwed because I don’t have a roommate so I’m like completely alone.

Hey guys, I’m living in McMahon and trying to find a gym within walking distance.

I checked out RamFit and it’s way too small. I’ve been lifting for a few years, so I really want at least a decent gym.

Where do you guys actually go to lift around here?
