COLLEGE FRESHMAN DORM TOUR Fordham University 2019 | Bella King

This is my freshman dorm at Fordham University Lincoln Center. I live in a triple on the 22nd floor which is the top floor of the freshman building McKeon Hall. I have a bit of a white vibe going on with my room this year so you can use this as a bit of college dorm inspiration if you want.

[@alinasmunir]

How much did you pay to go to this school and how much did you pay for this dorm ?

[@g0thic_ab419]

Where is Fordham? I don’t feel like looking on google lol

[@BellaKing]

@@g0thic_ab419 it's in nyc

[@chelseae6226]

did it cost extra to get the view

[@BellaKing]

@@chelseae6226 I mean more than a regular college sure, but in the school no

[@misaki7325]

Omg the view can you post how it looks at night?

[@morgy26]

wait it's so big, that's a literal like place to live

[@BellaKing]

Hahaha yeah it was really nice!

[@maddiem1295]

I'm watching thins as a freshman in high school but I love Fordham and am really hoping I go there!!

[@DaniLBeauty123]

Your room is gorgeous, loving the view!

[@serena8932]

this made me even more like excited to receive my Fordham decision, hopefully I can get in:)

[@miyatheweirdo7222]

Same! I’m still waiting to have my LOR sent but I’m so excited.

[@Coming2uCurly]

I love the decor and view from your room. So chic.

[@BellaKing]

Coming2uCurly thanks you so much!!

[@BonJody]

Hi I'm just wondering how your other roommates felt about you putting your bed and desk up against the window? Or if the layout was some you guys decided on beforehand. And how are you all getting along now? I've always been interested as to the dynamics of 3 girls sharing one room. You did a great job with the decorating and organizing btw.

[@BellaKing]

I asked and everyone was fine with it because I moved my bed three months into the school year. My desk was always in front of the window which I wanted because I wanted the natural light to do my makeup. We didn't decide on the layout beforehand, but I knew I really wanted to be next to the window, but keep in mind it gets really cold at night so you might want to take that into consideration. I don't mind it because I have a giant blanket. One of my roommates is my best friend and the other one we are just kinda living with each other but I still totally like her.

[@BellaKing]

I just posted a new video that might go more in-depth on any other Fordham questions you might have so you should check it out!

[@wodroi]

Thx u , Belle, it reminds me of my previous dorm room at Fordham, it was almost the same as urs . I love Fordham

[@9syched]

Me watching this in my plastered bricked dorm with one small little window.. 😔

[@sassygirl949music]

So I’ll be attending Fordham LC next semester, and I was wondering how the rooming situation works. Do you get to share your preference as far as the number of roommates you have (doubles or triples), or is it completely random? Also, this is so random, but how did you get the jackpot of getting the bed with that view? I want to try my hardest to get the bed closest to the window!!! 😂

[@BellaKing]

so you do get a chance to pick your roommates but I decided not to because I was lazy and I didn't really care. You will get the preference form sometime during the summer. And as far as the bed view, I actually rearranged the room a few months into school and asked my roommates if they were fine with it which they were but if you get there super early or first and start moving things, people can't really say anything. But because my bed is like that I virtually have no privacy in terms of when the door opens so its a bit of a give and take, but I don't care too much about that personally. My advice is to get there first and move your stuff around to how you want it

[@diaries5419]

This view is the reason I’m applying 😭

[@MayaMondays]

OMG THIS VIEW!! Super cute room!

[@BellaKing]

Maya Mondays thanks so much girl!! I love the view

[@smithmaddi8769]

Okay but imagine the window breaking and falling. 😳

[@BellaKing]

Lol I know. It’s a fear you get over

[@smithmaddi8769]

Bella King I would definitely be terrified but beautiful view 😍

[@sudsudasananikone4774]

evenWhat are the chances of me choosing a dorm on the 22nd floor in Mckeon that is even numbered? It looks so beautiful btw!!!

[@caleb9590]

a quick question, im currently in the 7th grade and im already kind of stressed out, last year i accidentally forgot to do a project and got a 0, then my final grade for that quarter was a 70 something, how much do middle school grades matter for getting into college?

[@BellaKing]

They don’t matter at all. Don’t stress. Enjoy grade school and high school. Don’t rush into college

[@niyah2wavyy889]

Honestly, I only saw middle school as a way to build good study habits for high school, which does matter for college

[@michaelcmc]

Thank you so much for making this! I'm happy you included what the room as a whole looks like. do you recommend getting a triple? Is there any rooming situation I should avoid?

[@BellaKing]

Well in Mckeon all the sizes of the dorms are triples. So you might get lucky and get the master suite triple or a triple that is smaller than mine so it really is a toss-up. If you don't feel like sharing a bathroom with three other people then maybe a triple is the way to go, but a double can be really nice and you generally have more space for yourself if you configure the room right. I would suggest picking your roommate because I went random and I got really lucky. As a freshman, I would suggest living in McKeon because that's where all the freshman are and that's how I built all my friendships

[@samuel2pac72]

Your view 😍

[@BellaKing]

It was the best!

[@carolinediaz19]

Also I’m j curious ab how kids at lincoln center interact w the rose hill students if they also go to football games or join clubs at rose hill bc I really wanna make the most out of both campuses esp rose hill to feel the traditional college experience 2. Please lmk :)

[@kiarasimmons5740]

Where did you get the hangers from?

[@BellaKing]

Bed bath and beyond

[@erinstenzel871]

do you wear vans and converse? or just like boots and flats?

[@BellaKing]

Just boots and flats. I don’t really own tennis shoes haha

[@alexusfuller4106]

scrolling through..does anyone know of any good college scholarships to apply for? please

[@stephanie50climbing86]

good use of space new here

[@annikac.8145]

how has your experience at fordham been so far? classes, adjusting, etc!

[@BellaKing]

It's been great so far honestly and I've adjusted pretty well. The classes aren't that hard, but that depends on the professors that you get (in terms of how much work you have, etc.) I've adjusted pretty well, but since Lincoln Center is such a small school (which I'm not used to because I came from a big high school) I had to get used to seeing the same people every day. I honestly really like the Fordham LC and even though it wasn't my first choice, it ended up being the right choice.

[@annikac.8145]

Bella King so glad to hear that! might be coming there next year :)

[@BellaKing]

@@annikac.8145 I just posted a video that talks about my experience more in depth if you are interested. You might want to check it out

[@exinnee.468]

Omg middle school is NOTHING!!! Please take advantage of it now. Honestly I would focus more on being able to maintain a good GPA and work ethic than college :))

Your bed is sooo high, I LOVE it! True the closet was small, but very tall. so it seems as though everything would fit still, which is great. That was also a heavy duty makeup box! cool video

Thank you I really appreciate it! The closet is waaaayyy smaller than it seems, I just tried to use the space as efficiently as possible.

[@jessiemayfield6749]

How does this have no subscription lol it's so good! Also do u think Fordham gives a traditional experience?

[@BellaKing]

you get to put in your preferences to which room type you would like but you don't get to pick the specific room

[@petenrita]

@@BellaKing Hi Bella, my daughter will be at FLC in Fall. By Room type, do you mean double vs. triple? Did you find that being on the top floor means massive wait times on elevators for classes, etc. or is it not really an issue? thanks for sharing.

[@BellaKing]

@@petenrita yes by room type I mean double or triple and not an apartment and the elevator does take a long time if you are going on it during peak times like 30 minutes before a class starts. And if an elevator is broken then yes the wait times can get very long.

One other question: how important is it for you to have roommates from the same major so that you are on the same vibe/schedules? Thx!

[@BellaKing]

I don't think it really matters as long as they are not in the theatre or dance department since those schedules are vastly different however everyone else at Fordham has the same start and end times for classes so it doesn't really matter. I think that is something that you have to talk to your roommate to figure out.
