[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is also at Fordham RH. Are you planning to visit your daughter for parents weekend? Or are you scoping out safer areas for your daughter to explore? Let's commiserate OP.[/quote]

Hi! We only did Parents Weekend when she was a freshman (she’s a junior now), but we much preferred other times for visiting just bc it’s easier to get into restaurants in Arthur Ave and stuff like that.  My typical routine was to take the Vamoose bus up,  which drops you off near Penn Station. And then because I love walking, I’d walk from Penn Station to a hotel in Chelsea. I’d do my own thing for a bit, then take Metro North from Grand Central to the Bronx to take her and her friends out for dinner on Arthur Ave. And then on Sunday she’d come down to wherever we were staying and we’d go out to brunch. I’m a huge walker so would cover a lot of this ground at all times of day and night. I actually am going through a divorce and my dad is dying so I just wanted to find a weekend to get away and see her, and have one weekend that feels a little normal, maybe kinda avoid any areas currently overrun with junkies, y’know?  You can see the rage that this unleashed. 😜 I’m going to stay in a different neighborhood this time, based on advice above. We love Fordham and I hope you do too! [/quote]
