Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus is located right in New York City and features a diverse, bustling atmosphere. On Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a mix of residential, commercial, and small business owners, there is always something going on around campus. Restaurants, cultural pursuits, movies, bars, shopping and much more are steps away. Students can also hop on the subway or bus and explore beyond their immediate area. The Belmont section of the Bronx, where the Rose Hill campus is located, is known as the “Little Italy” of the borough. It is also close to the New York Botanical Garden and Yankee Stadium. Rich in history and tradition, the area is full of restaurants and shops that locals and students frequent alike. Students have also staked out their favorite local bars which they tend to take over on the weekends. The D Train and Metro North are available to take students into Manhattan or further afield. The Ram Van runs between all campuses for those looking for a change in scenery.

Fordham University is spread over three campuses in the New York area: the suburban Westchester campus in Harrison; the pretty Rose Hill campus in the Bronx; and the bustling Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan. The Westchester campus is the newest of the college grounds. A three-story building sits atop the 32 landscaped acres complete with a stream and a picturesque pond. There are 26 brand-spanking-new classrooms with such high tech features as smart boards and teleconferencing. The grassy Rose Hill campus is most like a typical college campus, with its Gothic architecture and pleasant outdoor spaces. When the weather is nice at Fordham’s Rose Hill campus, life centers around Edward’s Parade, a large lawn in front of Keating Hall where students lounge and socialize. In the winter, students retreat indoors, to places like the McGinley Center, a campus center with food, offices, a bookstore, a post office, and a connection to the Lombardi Center, Rose Hill’s gym and home to basketball and volleyball. Murphy Field is the outdoor sports facility, where football, lacrosse, and rugby are played. Martyr’s Lawn, at the Third Avenue entrance to the campus, is used for alumni gatherings and festive events, and students often strike up a spontaneous game on the lawn as well. The campus is close to the Botanical Garden and Yankee Stadium; there is also a Metro North railroad stop right outside its gated entrance. The bustling Lincoln Center campus is right in the heart of Manhattan. The campus is next to Lincoln Center, a premiere cultural destination, and many other important performing arts institutions are mere blocks away. The campus is also home to Fordham’s Law School. The main entrance is on 60th Street and Columbus Avenue, and the Pope Auditorium, Fordham’s performing arts venue, is right inside. St. Paul the Apostle, where the university’s religious events are held is just across the street. University buildings are connected through an elevated courtyard, Robert Moses Plaza, on the second story of the buildings and basement tunnels. The grassy outdoor plaza is a focal point on the decidedly urban campus. The library, a rock garden, three theaters, and the visual arts department share the first floor below the Plaza. Students wishing to visit the other Fordham campus can take “the Ram Van” directly to and from Rose Hill.

Rose Hill in the Bronx and Lincoln Center in Manhattan have housing, and a little over half of Fordham undergrads live in the dorms. Since much of Fordham’s student body is from the five boroughs and surrounding areas, others live at home and commute or get their own apartments. University housing is guaranteed for all four years, and facilities get fairly high marks from the students. Rose Hill offers thirteen different housing options, some in the surrounding Belmont community and others on campus. Those off-campus options are furnished apartments for upperclassmen in the Bronx’s historic “Little Italy” section. On-campus housing mostly splits between freshmen and upperclassmen, though there is some limited mixing. Halls that are co-ed are separated by wing or floor by sex. Lincoln Center’s McMahon Hall houses more than 700 students in two to three bedroom furnished apartments. They are equipped with stove and oven, refrigerators, and a common area. Rooms can be single, double or triple. Freshmen generally have doubles or triples.

The Fordham Rams are part of the NCAA Division I and compete in the Atlantic 10 Conference in every sport but football, in which they play in the Division I Patriot League. The Rams football team won the Patriot League title in 2007. As reported by Tom Zuppa ’09, “Fordham football has the longest tradition at the university, having recently celebrated 125 years of excellence. Vince Lombardi and his fellow ‘Seven Blocks of Granite’ (the offensive line) became famous at Fordham. The men’s basketball team also has a great following as loyal fans packs the Rose Hill Gym (the oldest Division I gym in the country) and is also known to follow the team to games as far as Rhode Island.” The Fordham women’s basketball team is also popular, as is the volleyball squad. There are many ways to enjoy athletics at Fordham. Zuppa notes, “Intramural sports are competitive and very popular for both athletic students and those just looking for fun.”
