10 GIFs That Accurately Describe What It’s Really Like To Be A Fordham University Student

Going to college in the Big Apple is exciting, but also intimidating. But you’re not alone! Once you settle in to McKeon or McMahon hall, you’ll discover that everyone around you is in the same situation too. Here’s the real deal of what it’s like to be a Fordham University Student.

1. Tuition is expensive. The city is expensive. Financial distress is a disastrous cycle.

Venmo will become your best friend. It’s basically a Fordham University student.

2. The elevators get stuck…a lot.

Plan at least 5-10 minutes just to wait for the elevator, and hope they don’t break down on a weekday.

3. Nothing is more terrifying than receiving a noise complaint during quiet hours.

Play it safe to avoid being fined, not having your ID for a day, and a meeting with the RD.

4. There’s a good probability you’ll fall asleep during an 8:30 am class.

Don’t worry, everyone else is asleep in there with you.

5. No one goes out while it’s snowing unless absolutely necessary. The tunnels are a blessing.

It’s cold , wet and windy. Who wants to walk around in that?

6. We’ve all ended up on floor 12’s dance lounge at one point in the semester.

Always remember to give the room next door a little thank-you note for not complaining about the music or your dance moves.

7. The guards won’t judge you when you stumble in after a rough night out.

Trust me, they’ve seen it all.

9. Seeing all the graduation requirements in DegreeWorks causes a *mini* heart attack.

We love the Jesuit core….yay….

10. Finally, don’t talk about Fordham at Rose Hill. Don’t even ask about it.

And especially don’t ask about NYU.
