I went to Fordham over highly regarded schools, mainly because they gave me a scholarship. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I transferred to a higher quality school in the Midwest and the caliber of the students was much better as was the social scene (Which, at Fordham was very Jersey-Shore-like). NO THANKSAlso, Fordham students are also forced to buy a meal plan, which is ridiculously expensive. More importantly, the food is GROSS. Last winter, Fordham's food service received a failing grade during the NYC City health inspection. If you want to pay $9 for a burger with rodent droppings, Fordham is the school for you

Not so bright
Most of the students at Fordham are ignorant kids who are only concerned with drinking, partying, and recreational drugs. Any sort of personal diversity isn't welcome. Most of the kids are facebook, watching some sort of sports on doing something else in class. No wonder Fordham academics scores only 80 according to Princeton review.

am an alumni of Fordham. I have applied to no less than 100 jobs in three different cities in the past 4 months. I have asked almost every recruiter, hiring manager, and secretary that I have spoken with if they have heard of Fordham and when I am not simply getting blank stares I am greeted with comments such as "oh thats the rough place" or "I drove through the "town' of Fordham by accident once. But I didn't stop to look at the college. Is it good?" Those are actual quotes from interviews. Fordham offers neither a respectable, widely recognized name nor majors that provide individual students with competitive marketability. Furthermore the school is exorbitantly expensive and given this fact (annual tuition over 40,000) and the impoverished value of an Fordham College degree in today's job market Fordham, from a purely financial standpoint, is a poor choice. There exist a bevy of other reasons why I am very disappointed with Fordham which I will be glad to expound upon with any prospective students or current undergrads.
