Which campus should I apply to?

Hi Monkeys!

I am currently applying to undergrad business schools; I plan on majoring in Finance and hope to pursue a career in M&A. Fordham University is one of the safety schools that I'm applying to (I know it's basically a non-target, but its in NYC and I would get great merit scholarships there).

On the Fordham application, should I indicate my preferred campus as the Gabelli School of Business at Rose Hill (in Bronx) or the Gabelli School of Business at Lincoln Center (in Upper West Side)? Coming from Fordham, I'm sure I already would have to network a ton, but in terms of placement at BBs, internships etc, would one Fordham campus's b-school be better than the other? If so, which would it be?

Thanks for the advice!

Rose Hill, the main bronx campus, is better. LC doesnt offer as many majors and I dont think it offers finance as a major. LC is typically more for the arts and social studies. LC also has about 2000 students compared to like 6k at RH i believe. and there is virtually ZERO OCR for LC kids. I would 110% choose Rosehill. Also don't let this forum make you think Fordham is a complete non target. it is very on the up and coming.
