LOL "Biker Gang." I'm going to start implying that. No, as a performer.rockthelaw wrote:You toured? Like, as a musician? Performer? Biker gang?nygrrrl wrote:LOL - I toured for a long time.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
Really hard to say. LSN implies that only 1 or 2 people sub-164 have been admitted, period... but who knows. Your GPA should help, for sure.Law Schooler wrote:Hi,

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
Where do most people that go to Fordham Law plan to live? (On Campus or Off, Manhattan or somewhere else, etc.)

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
I don't know if I could justify living in Manhattan and going to school. I would probably live in Brooklyn and commute. Reading on the train is not bad at all.NU_Jet55 wrote:Where do most people that go to Fordham Law plan to live? (On Campus or Off, Manhattan or somewhere else, etc.)
Columbus Circle is a pretty large transportation hub, so I would live close to one of 1ACBD subway lines.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
I live in Manhattan now. I was thinking of moving to UWS to make the commute easier.
I just looked at Fordham's graduate housing, though, and the location is pretty sweet!
http://www.fordham.edu/student_affairs/ ... _34668.asp
However, for a studio, the cost is $17K for the academic year (9 months) = $1888/month. You can get a good one bedroom in Manhattan for that amount. OR save a lot of money and live in Brooklyn/Queens/Harlem, etc.

Studio maybe... 1 BR, probably not in that neighborhood. What a great location!paminator wrote:However, for a studio, the cost is $17K for the academic year (9 months) = $1888/month. You can get a good quality studio or even one bedroom in Manhattan for that amount.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
$1,888 a month is a lot of money, even for Manhattan. You can get a nice studio on the UWS for less.
Living with roommates and/or moving to Brooklyn can save you in the neighborhood of 15 grand a year in rent and COL.

Oh yeah, not in that neighborhood. I meant somewhere in Manhattan.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
Hell's Kitchen is a little more affordable than the UWS. The neighborhood is a little more grim, but has a lot of great restaurants and is steps away from Fordham.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
You can live in Manhattan and make it affordable. Get a 1bdrm convertible and find a roomate etc. You can get most places in the city in 30 mins or less on transpo so def look in different hoods. I live UES for 1100/month with doorman/elevator etc. Craigslist is your friendpaminator wrote:Oh yeah, not in that neighborhood. I meant somewhere in Manhattan.

I was browsing there too!
But then I stopped because I'm getting nervous about assuming an Acceptance.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
This is very true. I lived on the UES for 4 years and never paid more than $1025 a month. The UES isn't the most convenient to Fordham, but it's not too bad.smacroon wrote:You can live in Manhattan and make it affordable.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
If I do end up at Fordham, NYC COL will definitely take some getting used to. I currently live in a nice 3 BR apt in a mid-size city in Kansas with two roommates and my rent is ~200/mo.

Re: Fordham Waiting Room
Mmmm good point.
So funny, when I was first apartment searching in NYC, I was like "that apartment is 3 avenues (or 8 blocks, etc) from the subway....NO WAY!" I thought I had to be RIGHT NEXT to a subway stop. But I walk 8-10 minutes to the subway every day and love it. Of course, this is without a backback full of laptop/law books...
