Fordham University

When I first started Fordham, I didn't have the school spirit that most people had. It wasn't until my sophomore year when I found my group of friends that I still have now, did I acquire my school spirit.

Most of the student are antisocial and uptight, but I believe that due to everyone having up their own guards and generally being afraid of whats different, and it doesn't help either that there are A LOT of students. Mostly students tend to become attached to the people in their majors and who they have the most in common with. The best experience you can have, is being a resident, at least for a semester. Commuters lose out on that experience and closeness and various activities that the residents have, i.e midnight breakfast during finals, late night activities during spring weekend, or just simply dorm activities prepared by your dorm staff.

It wasn't until I graduated that I genuinely found the Love for Fordham that other alumni have and show during reunion weekend and homecoming weekend. I love coming back for a visits during homecoming weekend;win or lose, and spring weekend, especially since I still have friends who attend and friends who have become Residential Directors.

I am not saying that Fordham is the best, but it sure was an experience that I will never forget and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I have witnessed a lot of my classmates transfer and wish they never did, or when you finally get to sit back and reminisce with them about the times we did this or that and how much they miss it. I'm not saying Fordham is the best, but the reality is your experience is what YOU make it. It just takes time…
