The ABCs Of Fordham University


Are you a current Fordham student, prospective Fordham student, or simply curious about life around Fordham's two campuses? Then here are the ABCs of Fordham University. Get to know your way around.

A. Arthur Ave

A Fordham staple is Arthur Avenue, also known as the real Little Italy. Arthur Avenue entails lots of Italian restaurants, Delis, and other small businesses such as shops and boutiques. There is great food, great company, and lots of friendly faces to be found here.

B. Barnyard BBQ

The Barnyard BBQ is a Fordham nightlife spot owned and run by Fordham students' beloved Simon.

C. CAB Bingo

Fordham's Campus Activities Board, more commonly referred to as CAB, hosts monthly bingo on campus with amazing prizes. This is one of my favorite things to do on campus, and it really makes you feel like part of a family to see the auditorium fill up with pajama-clad students who simply... want to play bingo.

D. Dealy Hall

Dealy Hall stands at the center of Fordham's Rose Hill campus, and it is mostly noteworthy because of the Starbucks inside. But, you will likely have a lot of classes in here, too.

E. Eddie's

Edward's Parade is Fordham's green space, and it is nicknamed Eddie's. When Spring comes around, Eddie's fills with students tanning, playing Spike Ball, or just taking an hour or so to relax between classes.

F. Formals

One of my favorite parts of being a student at Fordham is the formals that are hosted by sports teams and clubs. Most often, formals are held at Michaelangelo's on Arthur Ave, and the night entails pizza and an open bar.

G. Global Outreach (GO) Trips

Fordham's Global Outreach trips allow students an opportunity to explore other cultures as well as the political, societal, or economic hardships faced there. This is an amazing opportunity to take part in something bigger than ourselves, and I have heard incredible things from friends of mine who have gotten involved.

H. Howl

Howl at the Moon, or Howl, is another nightlife staple at the Rose Hill campus. This is moreso where upperclassmen tend to congregate.

I.Interdisciplinary 

Fordham requires students to take certain, designated core classes in order to ensure that our learning experience crosses borders and is well-rounded. While these can be tedious, they allow us to explore subjects outside of our regular course of learning.

K. Keating Hall

L. Lincoln Center

M. Martyr's Lawn

N. New York Botanical Gardens

O. O'Hare Hall

P. Pugsleys

Q. Queen's Court

R. Rooftops

S. Spring Weekend

T. The Empire Hotel

U. Urban Plunge

V. Volunteer Work

W. Walsh Gate

X. XC 

Y. Yankee Stadium

Z. Zoo

So, there you have it. These are the ABCs of Fordham, and we are so lucky to be able to call New York our second home.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
