Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Half of the student population of Fordham commutes to school. Students come everywhere, from Long Island to Connecticut, traveling by subway, train, bus, and perhaps the least popular, car. Housing is extremely limited at Fordham, so many students (including all transfers who are not provided dorm space at their acceptance) are forced to find off-campus housing, while others opt for the freedom from the strictness of Residence Housing. Living anywhere in New York should put you close enough to public transportation to get you to Fordham, but commuting in New York City is another story.

There is a lot to consider when you decide to live off-campus in New York City. How much are you willing to spend on an apartment? Do you have a roommate? How long do you want your commute to be? Many students find housing through Craig’s List, a popular, free-to-use Web Site (www.craigslist.org). If you are willing to pay a broker’s fee, your search pool increases. Both Rose Hill and Lincoln Center provide off-campus housing lists, but these can become outdated rather quickly. Start your search well before you plan on moving in. There are plenty of alternate living options that can be just as exciting as residential life. Little Italy is a popular area in the Bronx, while Lincoln Center students live anywhere from Washington Heights, to Astoria, to Park Slope. Research and explore the area before you make any decisions, and always get a second opinion before moving in.

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.
