- Off-Campus Housing

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

While the majority of residents winds up living in housing for all four years, a lot of Fordham students choose to find off-campus apartments because they quickly tire of living in dorms where RAs watch their every move. Living off campus allows for a lot more freedom: You can move in whenever you want instead of on a day dictated by the University, use your apartment over breaks, have as many guests as you want, and probably most importantly, you can party.

Also, it is definitely cheaper to live off campus than in a dorm. However, your options are in an unsafe area, so you need to be as careful and as smart as possible when walking alone. Moving off campus means no longer having the luxury of staying at the library until 2 a.m. during finals week because you don't want to be making the long walk back to your apartment at that time. That being said, Fordham does provide safety measures for students who don't partake in on-campus housing, such as Ram Vans that run through the area late at night to take students to and from campus.

Welcome to the Bronx

Yeah, they're right next to campus gates, but the apartments ARE in the middle of the BRONX. You seriously need to consider safety. Most students just stay on campus, especially because the off-campus stuff is a couple hundred dollars more expensive, and with an already pricey school, that's saying a lot!

Don't Know Much

I have no idea what kind of apartments are available, in addition to knowing if the area is safe or not.
