<p>I’m from CA, I’ve visited both schools and have been to Santa Clara many times. </p>
<p>I’ve been accepted to Fordham and have not heard from Santa Clara yet. (Transfer Student). I agree with the other person. I think it really depends on personal preference. I think the schools are very similar academically and both offer great programs. </p>
<p>For some Fordham may seem too urban. I really like Santa Clara and where it is located. It is easily defined as suburban and relatively close to everything in the silicon valley. </p>
<p>Being from CA I’d prefer to go to Santa Clara but I really do like Fordham too. Santa Clara may be ranked higher but 2 or 3 years out of college and those rankings will mean nothing. It will just be oh that is a really good school.</p>
