Contrary to above poster, AP courses HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH DORM PRIORITIES OR SELECTION. Not in freshman year, not in sophmore year. You are not given advanced standing. In fact the current freshman are just about to participate in the housing lottery for the first time (just sent in my housing check!) The new dorms will be great and are expected to be ready in 2011 -12.

Don’t want to get too far off the topic, but wanted to corrrect the above info. My original posting was simply to point out that there is a strong core curriculum at Fordham. Incoming freshman are placed in courses and don’t choose them. There is a strong language requirenment as well that goes beyond other Jesuit schools we looked at including Holy Cross and BC.

Overall, it has been a great environment for my daughter. Has made nice friends and her courses are improving.
