Is Fordham a good place for me?

Hey! I’m a high school student (Junior) who’s researching Fordham as well. From what I’ve researched, Fordham is ranked #87 out of 747 schools measuring the most liberal colleges in America. The Lincoln Center campus seems to lean liberal, which makes sense judging that “artsier” people tend to be more liberal in general. The Rose Hill campus seems to be 50/50 from what I’ve read, but I believe that students are tolerable (as it should be) of the political views of others. There is an active Democrat and Republican club that regularly have debates, so be wary of that. As long as you treat people with respect, then you should expect to receive it as well. Rose Hill is definitely more sports orientated and contains more school spirit I believe. Fordham is not considered a party school, but students do take to go to bars in the area, Broadway shows, etc. As for fit wise, it is up to you to decide for yourself, but I hope that you benefit from my advice- and hey, maybe I’ll have an upperclassmen friend already when I (hopefully) go!

Oh, and please, do not let the political leaning of a school dictate where you go
