Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although Fordham is a Division I school in athletics, sports are not necessarily a major part of student life. Any trace of athleticism is absent from Lincoln Center, while many Rose Hill students are merely bored by their school’s poor athletic record. Club sports are growing in popularity as they prove to be an enjoyable, low-stress alternative to the varsity world. Students form strong communities in intramural and club sports.

Statistics aside, Fordham College at Rose Hill is still a place to be if you are a sports fan or athlete. Scholarships are rewarded and competition is strong. Fordham also has an impressive historical background in its athletics. Football coaching legend Vince Lombardi is an alum, and the school’s facilities have been used for various big-name games. Students therefore have the option of enjoying a thriving sports community, while those who prefer foosball are comfortable in a school that doesn’t shove footballs down their throats.

School Spirit

The Fordham University student body is very uninterested in the sports the school has to offer due to the unfortunate fact that it is very rare for one of the teams to win a game.

The Athletes Are Awful

Our sports teams are not great, but they all think they are awesome athletes. They need a reality check.

School Spirit

For a Division I school, Fordham’s school spirit runs pretty low. Lincoln Center is proudest of its theatre and dance program, while Rose Hill students get so frustrated with their athletic teams’ performances that it’s difficult to maintain a high level of pride. Ultimately, students are proud to graduate with FU on their resume—even if they can’t wear shirts that say so (see FU Slang).

Getting Tickets

Men's basketball tickets are available to students at a discount price at the box office before each game. To get into football games, just show your student ID and you can get in, unless it is sold out.

Best Place to Take a Walk

Edward’s Parade (Rose Hill Campus), Central Park (Lincoln Center)
