<p>Wow. Labeling the area around Fordham as a ghetto is simply wrong. As a parent of a freshman S. at Gabelli Bus. School, I can tell you the first time I visited Fordham was an eye opener. But I have been back 4 times since then, and each time I have a greater appreaciation for the area of the Bronx where Fordham is located. And my son has absolutely no problem whatsoever with the neighborhood. It is certainly not a ghetto in any sense of the word as I define it. Is it in an urban setting??? Sure–like most of the best Jesuit univeristies. But it is a vibrant, diverse neighborhood, which is a big part of the education for most new students.</p>
