I sometimes see you snipe at people on the Fordham board and overly push your opinion. And it seems you track my posting history (why im not sure) so I really hope its not just to try and start with me too…



Seriously? I looked you up bc you only had a few posts and wanted to see how “real” you were since I took the time to post in your thread. Remember, YOU asked for opinions. I’m sorry you found MINE to be snippy and overly pushing of my opinion.

In a word, yes, I got from your posts that you were more concerned about living in Manhattan then about Fordham’s programs. Your prior posts in this thread talked about Fordham LC and how much you liked the campus and you spoke in detail about why you want to live in Manhattan. You may have said that you are concerned with academics and this is, of course, very important. But it’s what you left out that spoke to me because you never said anything specifically about what you like about Fordham or your major or Fordham’s program in that area. You just stated specifically what you did NOT like about Fordham, that being the Jesuit identity or the core curriculum…again, two very big components of the Fordham education.

I get the importance of living in Manhattan. I couldn’t see my S anywhere else. In fact, Boston College was ruled out specifically by him in the end bc it was in the “wrong” city.

I highly recommend Fordham LC in ALL the forums that I post in. My S LOVES it there! But that doesn’t mean it is the right fit for everyone. That is all I was pointing out. Not that you shouldn’t come. I hope that if you choose Fordham you will learn to LOVE the Jesuit identity and core curriculum bc they are an important part of Fordham’s education philosophy.

Again, I wish you good luck with your college search. :)
