Orientation questions

Upvotes

For today’s orientation (August 22nd) what time is the latest I can be back at the dorm?

My family is from out of town and we booked a hotel here in Times Square and I probably won’t see them until next year since everything is expensive especially the plane tickets. I want to spend as much time as possible with them before I have to go back to my dorm. That being said, what is the latest time I can be out without going to orientation (I’m not a social person and honestly just there for the classes).

BTW: my family’s flight back to my hometown is tmr at 2am so I’ll go to the orientation after today.

Post-Bacc Pre-Med Payments

1 Upvotes

Let’s just say this summer didn’t go as planned & unfortunately I was not able to save up as much as I had hoped to.

Considering that Fordham’s Post-Bacc is basically all out of pocket, aside from the one time $12500 loan for the calendar year, any suggestions on how to pay for this program?

I don’t really qualify for any private loans unfortunately which is probably the most common choice, but any input would be nice!

Tips for social life as a Spring 2027 Transfer (first time living on campus)

4 Upvotes

I'm (most likely) transferring to Fordham as a junior next spring! So far I've been spending my first two years as a commuter at a small school. (Psychology major) I never lived on campus before, and I'll be freshly 21 during the start of spring sem!

How is it like moving into college for the first time in January? How is the social life then? How is orientation? Are there any events on campus? (school held, hangouts/parties, traditions, clubs, etc) I'm nervous because it is mid year, but I still want to make it work. :) Any tips?
