Is Fordham anyone else's first choice?

Hey thanks for the feedback.

Montanakid: Yeah, I know what you mean. If I get accepted to Fordham, I’m pretty sure I’m going to go (depending on FA). I think its the mix of so many different factors that makes me want to go there.

msneicirenee: I’m particular about colleges too (obviously, since I’ll be spending the next 4 years there, I should at least like the campus). Like I said, it’s in the Bronx (the Rose Hill campus), so the area around is a little shady, but once you’re on the actual campus it’s got that “traditional campus” feel. And our tour guide told us that most students just go to Manhattan when they hang out, so entertainment is def. not a problem.

Jesuiteducated: I’ll admit I don’t know much about it’s global reputation. It’s not very known to the people around me (but I live in a pretty rural, country type of place), but I do know that a lot of the adults I’ve met know about it, and that it’s becoming more and more popular (double-edged sword for me though haha. More competition). And I had no idea the “Dummy” guy was a Fordham alumn. Cool!

And I’m definitely not going to not go to a school just because of the rankings, even though #61 (?) is definitely not too shabby. I was just tired of the weird looks I got when I said it was my first choice.
