So you’re broke after your spring break vacation or you can’t get into any of the nice clubs and lounges because you’re under 21. What’s a college student gotta do to find some fun around here? Kiddies, have no fear—Fordham has set up a partial week of free activities for all students during Spring Weekend at the Rose Hill campus.

With unexpected but very cool happenings such as sports competitions, carnivals, food contests and celebrity guest performances, the event is a hit every year. Best of all, every single event you attend is 100 percent free, with complimentary food and drinks at most events.

One of the biggest events of the weekend is the concert on April 26, featuring the Secret Machines and rap artist Ghostface Killah, much to the disdain of FUerez Hilton commentors. Whether you love or hate the artists, concert activities are sure to please with novelties like airbrush shirts, hats, henna tattoos, caricature artists, stilt walkers, Dippin’ Dots ice cream, Cirque de Soleil balancing artists and more. For those of you that go on an empty stomach, there will be a barbeque serving up what promises to be better than cafeteria food.

You’re allowed to bring two outside guests, as long as they each have an ID, but security will be tight at all events, so expect your bags to be checked. Take a Ram Van up to Rose Hill and enjoy some of the best events Fordham has to offer. Make memories and have fun!
