Student Housing in Bronx, NY
About Student Housing in Bronx
The Bronx, New York is New York City's northernmost borough and the only one on the mainland, a borough of over a million people with a student scene anchored in part by Monroe College, whose campus has sat in the lively Fordham section since 1967. Fordham is the borough's commercial and academic heart, sharing turf with Fordham University, Lehman College, and Bronx Community College, so the streets around Monroe stay full of students. The Bronx is famously the birthplace of hip-hop, and its landmarks back that up: the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden sit nearby, Yankee Stadium draws crowds, and Pelham Bay and Van Cortlandt parks give it real green space. For students it's energetic and urban, with Manhattan a short subway ride away.

Fordham and Fordham Manor
The district right around Monroe, dense, walkable, and stacked with transit and a huge shopping corridor. The default for staying close to class.

Just east, the borough's storied Little Italy, a tight, walkable neighborhood with a strong community feel and an easy walk to the Fordham campuses.
Kingsbridge and Kingsbridge Heights
Northwest of Fordham near Van Cortlandt Park, residential and well served by the 4 train, a calmer base for students.
