"Do you live on campus? Natalie: We commute from home. I think it's a good balance. We're like ten minutes away by car, so it feels like I'm dorming at this point, and I don't have to share a bathroom. It's lovely."
"Do you take classes together? Nicole: Yes. Everyone thinks we do it because we're twins, but we're both computer-science majors. And if there's a teacher who has amazing ratings, why would I want to take a class from a teacher with bad ratings? Who's going to jeopardize themselves like that? And also our mom drives us to school, so we're not going to Fordham multiple times a day to take one class early in the morning and one in the afternoon."
Nicole and Natalie Jallim commute from home, about ten minutes away by car, which provides a balance between campus access and home comfort. The short drive makes campus life feel like dorming while avoiding shared bathrooms. Both twins are computer-science majors and often enroll in the same classes. They select courses based on instructor ratings, preferring highly rated teachers and avoiding instructors with poor ratings to protect their academic outcomes. Their mother drives them to school, reducing the incentive to travel to campus multiple times a day for spaced class schedules. Subscription options include digital access and a print edition available September 8, 2025.
