	HC Fordham Abroad: Is Feidir Linn! By Nancy Buckley October 18, 2011 - 12:00am Is Feidir Linn! There are few Americans who can look at those three Irish words and know what they mean, but in English, there are very few Americans who have never heard those three words: Yes We Can! I knew prior to this experience that Ireland and America influence one another, but I had no idea to what extent. In Ireland, there are postcards with Obama’s face on them and Ireland in the background, on campus the “Run for Class Rep” posters have Obama’s silhouette on it and “Is Feidir Linn” is everywhere – on bumper stickers, posters, signs, and even t-shirts.

	HC Fordham Abroad: Irish Rugby and London Sightseeing By Nancy Buckley October 4, 2011 - 11:29pm During orientation week (which was 4 weeks ago - time is going so fast!), our program directors asked us what we thought the American stereotypes were to Europeans; amongst other negative adjectives, competitive was repeated many times in our group. Prior to coming to Ireland, I never thought of Americans as overly competitive individuals, but after four weeks in Dublin, I understand why; the American lifestyle is completely different. The best example I can think of is sports. READ MORE
	Dear Betty: How Do I Balance My Relationship and Friendships? By Dear Betty October 1, 2011 - 8:59pm Dear Betty, Over the summer, I started dating this great Fordham guy. (I know, I know, but they're out there, promise!) Even though we were both interning, summer hours left us plenty of time to hang out and build our relationship. Now that school's started, I'm completely OVERWHELMED. I'm interning, have a full course load, and am super involved on campus. Basically, I spread myself to thin. I haven't even gotten a chance to hang out with most of my friends! I still want to devote time to my relationship, but I don't know how to balance it all. What do I do, Betty? Sincerely, Worried in Walsh ------------------------------------------- Dear Worried, READ MORE ...

	NYC Bucket List: Pelham Bay By Claire Cumberland May 14, 2011 - 8:34pm The academic year is coming to a close. Some of us are packing up boxes, trying desperately to find a pink wheeling bin that can lug all of our clothes and memories out of our respective residence halls, eating our last buffalo chicken wrap, and inevitably heading towards the overstuffed George Washington Bridge that will take us home. However, there is a small group of people who will remain at Fordham for the summer. Fordham offers summer classes and various on-campus jobs where you can make bank while retaining your room and skipping the whole packing ordeal- and you get to eat Sodexho for three more months!!!!!!!!!!!!
