It's tough being an international student here. there aren't too many of us but we exist. but the International Students office is extremely unreliable and slow. It's hard to work with them when you dont have a choice, if you're leaving the US or your visa docs are an issue.

Most of my professors were nice, but administration drove me insane. they're snooty, and dysfunctional. The school may be better to have a crew of trained monkeys.

Lastly, I thought this was a liberal Jesuit institution. I didn't expect to be badmouthed and given unfair treatment by radical catholic kids and some theology professors. Administration and residential life (i became fed up after a year and a half, and left the dorms) never listen with an open mind. They are always after scapegoats, and never the accept the mistakes they've made.

I am unsure about the situation in Rose Hill, but speaking out for Lincoln Center, this school has a great deal to improve.

Thanks.

Hey! I am also an international student. I applied to Fordham University and I was accepted for Fall 2010! Im choosing between Fordham University and Bentley University. You wrote that is " tough to be an international student at Fordham University." Could you please tell me why is so tough? After reading your post, I don't know if I should go to Fordham University . I want to go… It is my first choice.. but it seems that you don't like the school and that you are having a hard time. I have to go to Rose Hills because Im a business major. I would like to get in contact with you. Can I have your email?
