PLS HELP ik this is super last minute but i just saw the do not pack list for fordham and it says no desk hutch, ottoman, large rugs…. im so confused because i’ve seen many fordham dorms with all these things. i was really planning on bringing these and already spent the money. is the do not pack list legit like will they ask you to throw things away or is it not a big deal.
Is the move in day welcome mass mandatory ?
Let’s just say this summer didn’t go as planned & unfortunately I was not able to save up as much as I had hoped to.
Considering that Fordham’s Post-Bacc is basically all out of pocket, aside from the one time $12500 loan for the calendar year, any suggestions on how to pay for this program?
I don’t really qualify for any private loans unfortunately which is probably the most common choice, but any input would be nice!
I am an incoming freshman at Fordham and I still need to pick a class for finite math. I have two professor options and I can’t find much about them online so if anyone has had the following professors can you tell me what their class/ teaching is like? Thanks

So Fordham is my top choice for college, specifically at the Lincoln center in manhattan. I want to either double major in natural science and theatre, or major in natural science and minor in theatre. I have a 1330 SAT, no ACT, 4.5 weighted gpa and I believe 3.6 unweighted gpa. I still haven’t written my essay but I plan on making it about how theatre has helped me get over my social anxiety and how I’ve grown as a person because of it. Theatre is also my only extracurricular. Do I have a good shot of getting in with these stats? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
Hello, I am a rising senior in high school and I am stuck with a really hard decision when it comes to my top two schools. To summarize, I am intending to apply for theology at Fordham and theology&philosophy combined major at Notre Dame, but I don't know which strategy I should pursue. I have a 1450 SAT, very strong religious service-based ECs and essays detailing my own religious experience. I think I have a very strong shot at Fordham, but also a nonzero chance at Notre Dame, but with Notre Dame's REA policy and the ED1 boost at Fordham, I just dont know what to do and want some advice. Here are the three paths I see.
There is a morale factor to be included here. I absolutely LOVE Fordham and have had it as my ED1 target for a long time before I wrote my essays for Notre Dame and began to convince myself I stand a chance if I apply TO. I also really really want my decision to come as early as possible, as it would greatly help a lot of my anxiety regarding this, which is the major con to idea 3. If I can get any assistance from any of yall, that would be amazing. Thanks!
I heard that we have to clean our rooms so what do you think is needed to bring to clean the rooms.
I’m a transfer (rising sophomore) and got a triple in o’hare.. I looked at the tour and for a triple i’d say it’s not the smallest, but nothing big. At least i get my own dresser, desk br.
If anyone had the triple before pls feel free to lmk how that experience was for u😭
is unlv or unr better for a plan to ultimately transfer to an academically higher-ranked institution, maybe something like usc, umiami, smu, uga, nyu, fordham, or tulane?
Hey everyone, I started a brand during my freshman year, and with the new school year coming up I’ve been working with a few friends to help them make some extra money creating content for it. It’s been going pretty well, so I figured I’d open it up to a few more students.
I’m looking for people who can consistently make short 15 - 30 second videos. You don’t need a following or any content creation experience. I provide examples of what to make, and you’d create new TikTok and Instagram accounts specifically for the content.
Pay is performance based at $2 per 1,000 views. So if your videos collectively get 1M views, you’d make $2,000.
It’s pretty flexible and you can post around your class schedule. You can basically post as many times as you want a day but I try to post twice a day so the algorithm doesn’t think I am spamming.
If anyone is interested, comment or message me and I can send you more details.

Thank you!
So my registration went horribly and I had to pick classes where I didn’t know the professors. I also was not able to get into comp 2 or finite because they got filled. My macro economics professor came out and he’s literally rated a 2.7 and everybody is saying to drop his class so I’m trying to find another section to add so I can drop that section but do you wait until school to do that or can you do it when registration reopens? I’m also trying to use plan ahead to see open sections and there’s really not that many so how does it work for add drop because if I’m planning on dropping a class I need to pick up another section of it but if they’re all saying full, like I’m confused on how that works. Because I was hoping to drop philosophy (bc i dont wanna take phil and theo at the same time but my advisor told me to put it as a placeholder in hopes I can drop it for comp 2 or finite) and hopefully pick up a comp 2 or finite, but there’s nothing available. I’m just confused on how the whole thing works and I’d appreciate any opinions.
I have been trying to decide between which school for my masters. I was accepted into Fordham for the MS in Strategic Marketing Communications program and Rutgers for the MS in Digital Marketing program.
Both programs seem great, both are fully online, I got a scholarship to Fordham so pricing is similar. Does anyone have recommendations or insight to help me choose?

Any transfers not get their RD housing assignment yet? my friend got hers but i didn't
I’ve been getting a few emails about accepting my financial aid, and my family came to the conclusion that we aren’t going to accept the aid. I went to the financial aid website to see if I can reject it, but it appears there’s no page or area to do so. I also received a scholarship, and I was wondering if that’s automatically accepted and taken off from the tuition paid. One of my friends who goes to the school said scholarships are part of financial aid, and based on the websites logic, if I were to accept my scholarship, it would mean I’d accept the aid. Anyone know how to accept the scholarship but reject the aid?
Thanks
