School Life: Visiting the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University

Fordham University (Rose Hill) School Life Visiting the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University 441 East Fordham Road Bronx, NY 10458 Tel: 718-817-1000 Rating by Amanda: ★★★★☆ Last semester, I went to Rose Hill campus with my friends twice for leadership program and university football game. Compared with Manhattan, a totally different view in rose hill refresh us. Our Rose Hill campus, in the north Bronx, is as idyllic as college campuses get: 85 acres featuring Gothic architecture and tree-lined walkways. There’s even more to it than that, as we’re right across the street from the incredibly lush New York Botanical Garden. You’ll find Fordham College at Rose Hill, the Gabelli School of Business, and graduate programs in Arts and Sciences, and Religion and Religious Education here. The campus was established in 1841 as St. John’s College by the Right Rev. John Hughes, Coadjutor-Bishop (later Archbishop) of New York, on old Rose Hill Mano

Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant: where you should try Dim Sum

Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant 敦城海鲜酒家 13330 39th Ave, Flushing, NY 11354 Price: $$ Rating by Ashley:  ★★★☆ ☆ I came here with my roommate at 7pm after shopping. We didn’t have a reservation but lucky enough that some tables opened. The design of the restaurant is a little old, like the Chinese restaurant style in the 1980s. To be honest, I don’t like the dining environment in this restaurant, and the service is not enthusiastic enough. Dining Environment We got all the Dim Sum on the menu and ordered one Stir Fried Diced Beef w. Mango. I have tasted many Dim Sum restaurants, but I don’t think the Dim Sum provided by Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant has something special. Dim Sum, Stir Fried Diced Beef w. Mango  Although Dim Sum made me feel a little disappointed, the Stir Fried Diced Beef w. Mango tasted crazy good! The beef in this dish was very soft and the mango was very refreshing. Partial sweet and spicy taste, don’t recommend people who

Becco Can't miss the Italian restaurant 355 W 46th St, New York, NY 10036 Price: $$$ Rating by Ashley:  ★★★★☆ Love this place. My friend recommended this restaurant to me because he knew I love Italian food. I’ve tried at least 6 Italian restaurants since I came to New York. Becco is my favorite now! Been there twice and not disappointed. Although the inside of Becco is spacious, I really recommend you make a reservation because you can choose the table you liked and don’t need waste time waiting. Before you order, a bread basket will be served.  Bread Basket  My friend and I got Mussel appetizer. The mussel tasted fresh and juicy.  Mussel I got the Fish Soup and my friend had Osso Buco alla Becco. The Fish Soup is not a real soup but it has this amazing liquid in it that is so delicious. All the seafood in Fish Soup tasted like heaven, and the scallops were the best ever! Fish Soup My friend said t
