Don’t know much, but Fordham has always has a good reputation for academics, and my d. applied to Fordham as a last-minute safety. (Added to the list after all the other apps were in). Applied to LC campus, was accepted of course, and the school was more generous than I would have anticipated about merit money. (Remember, my D is the one with the good grades and middling test scores, so no chance at NM money). My d. was planning to visit in the spring of her senior year - she had booked a trip to NY during her spring break, when she was also visiting NYU – but she got notice from Barnard just before she headed out east, so didn’t get around to visiting Fordham.
My impression has always been that it’s a good, solid school that takes its academics seriously and certainly worthy of consideration for anyone. We’re Jewish, never had any concern about the religious aspects.
