Fordham University

I get irritated at reading crybaby reviews. First, nobody chose Fordham except YOU. Nobody made you pay what you paid except YOU. Grow up. Experience is not some little bird mouth open in a nest. It takes TWO. YOU and Professor and sometimes, well often, classmates. Learning is multifaceted: books, research, thinking, writing, sharing thoughts, discerning. Professors are human. But pretty much EVERY college has a heavy left leaning bias among professors. Fordham has a healthy diverse student body... Read More of race, religion, national origin, and POLITICAL views. I had a superb experience in Law. I was a transfer student (wife got her job moved and so I transferred to Fordham). I was accepted readily by professors, students and administrators and did VERY well. My daughter and son in law both graduated Phi Beta Kappa more than 10 years ago, but had superb experiences. A lot of dorm drama as is the case EVERYWHERE. All in all, only one or two professors were "problematic" and that was addressed. A lot of VERY good professors, who made them work like dogs....often to exhaustion...but for their own good, preparing them for graduate schools. Graduation day was a huge day for us and inlaws. A lot of hugs and applause from faculty and deans. One Jesuit Dean actually married them after grad school. Even he cried at the wedding. Fordham is VERY special. Its VERY unique, being a classic campus but in the middle of Bronx (or Manhattan), and you learn in class but also being in NY city/boroughs. Employers LOVE Fordham students because they come prepared and they come to work. Not a lot of attitude which employers appreciate. Fordham students are tight, and socialize together in the city and Fordham has superb student internships. yes costs have gone up but EVERY school has that, even third tier schools
