from Randolph, NJ

Describe your college in three sentences.

Fordham University is a family with open arms waiting for you to walk in. Once you enter into the family, you are embraced and encouraged to tap into all of the family's resources. These resources WILL help your intellectual, moral and interpersonal development.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Know as much as you can about the school before you enter. Once you all about the school, I'm sure you will fall in love. Also, think about your longevity of life and you will see Fordham will prepare you for that.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

If you focus and manage your time, should not be a problem. Nevertheless,difficulty is evident and you will see yourself improving.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Gets exponentially better in terms of size and cleanliness after Freshman year. It can be a fun place if you so choose to make it that. The RHA student government does a great job of providing programs and information for students to make their residential hall experience the best it can be.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Every place can get repetitive, as does Fordham. However, there is plenty of diversity and off-campus food is arguably top 10 in the nation at the highly regarded Arthur Ave.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

NYC is 20 minutes away. The Bronx, less it's poor connotation, is a magnificent place full of wonderful places and people. I experienced the Bronx and love it.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's a lot of money to go there. Spend wisely and take FULL advantage of all that has to be offered.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The gymnasium is the oldest gym in the NCAA, the volume during basketball games gets ridiculously loud. It is also the 3rd most haunted campus in the US. Enter if you dare.

There are many preppy, private high school students. Also, international students make up more than 10%. Anyone from anywhere can fit in, however, because every niche has a club or group.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Many, many clubs. Any interest can find a club, if not make one. The budget for new clubs is very generous.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Does not exist. And I love it.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Fordham security does a great job of allowing only the people who are supposed to be on campus in. Shuttles are provided for students to off-campus locations to ensure security.
