Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Lincoln Center and Rose Hill students offer very different takes on their respective school’s facilities. Although some of the Bronx’s buildings are more than 100 years old, the campus remains in peak condition. It sometimes seems as if you can’t turn around without a new renovation in the works (both an aesthetic plus and a logical inconvenience). The College at Lincoln Center, on the other hand, seems far less pleasing despite its youth (the building is about 40 years old). In terms of their facilities, Lincoln Center and Rose Hill are two different worlds. The Bronx campus is composed of gothic architecture that sprawls over fresh, green grass, while the entire Manhattan campus is contained in one 12-story building. Both are home to grassy areas that draw the sunbathing crowd (Lincoln Center's Plaza is considerably smaller).

Rose Hill’s claim to fame is the Walsh Library, one of the most beautiful of any American campus, while Lincoln Center’s Quinn Library satisfies book-needy researchers, but not comfort-seeking studiers. The athletic facilities are considerably more advanced in the Bronx, but the varsity-less Lincoln Center hosts an adequately equipped fitness center. Students are rarely bored at either campus and generally do not lack any of the amenities provided to most college students.

Decent

The facilities at Fordham are decent. They are always renovating something and are currently constructing a new building. The machines in the gym could use an update but they work fine.

Needs to Be More Consistent

The campus is beautiful but there tends to be a disconnect in architecture and even paving. Not much can be done about it at this point, but it new buildings are being erected, make it look like the rest of campus.

Facts

Favorite Things To Do

Both Rose Hill and Lincoln Center offer an impressive range of guest lectures and conferences during the school year, but that’s probably not what you want to hear when you think about campus activities. During the day, many clubs sponsor free snack breaks. Keep a watch out for special student deals through clubs and Student Activities, including free meals at famous New York locations, cheap sports tickets, and great Broadway discounts. Don’t feel like stepping outside that campus gate? Both the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center fitness centers are free of charge. Throughout the year, you might find complimentary yoga, karate, and dance classes there as well. When the weather is nice, Lincoln Center students enjoy relaxing on the Plaza, while Rose Hillers can take a break on Martyr’s Lawn.
