Personally, I don’t think Fordham is worth the money. The kids from my area who have gone there (with one exception) are losers with rich parents.



Wow. Just…Wow.

I’m the parent of a Sophomore at Fordham LC. My S chose Fordham over NYU Tisch and Boston College and is VERY happy with his choice. He LOVES the Jesuit identity, the core curriculum, the Theatre program (his major) and living in Manhattan. Yes, Fordham is lower ranked than other schools he was accepted to and turned down but that did not matter because it was the right fit for him. You, on the other hand, have visited Fordham and didn’t like the Jesuit identity or the core curriculum…and those are two things that pretty much make Fordham what it is. Yes, the apartments are nice and you do have a campus at LC even though it’s not like the traditional campus and college experience at Rose Hill. But honestly, it sounds to me like you are more concerned with living in Manhattan and while I think that location is important, if you can’t choose Fordham for the education and programs that are offered, it’s just not the right school for you. I wish you luck with your college search! :)
