Fordham University

I knew from day one my roomate was a nightmare. If you come here to Lincoln Center, DEMAND to switch rooms immediately if you know that's how it's going to be. She drinks, comes in all hours of the nights,says hurtful things to everyone, expects other people to pick up after her and has alienated our whole floor not including most of our class. The RA's response to my asking for help was to tell me there was nothing they could do about it, and then went on to tell me how I'd get in trouble for booze in the room even if it wasn't mine. Basically, bureaucracy does not want to help you at all, they just want to avoid trouble and paperwork. It shows how much they don't actually give a shit about their students. Fordham wants to be like Georgetown, but it's no where near. IF this school wasn't in nyc, it'd be off any type of maps ranking wise etc. DONT' COME HERE. it's not worth it.

Students are treated like middle school students. The on-campus environment is so strict that learning to grow and develop is almost stunted. I visited many school and Fordham is by far the strictest. The residential life staff are everyone's enemy. They seem to enjoy messing with students. Sad actually.

My grades are good so I have had some good opportunities, but average students get nothing. The dean staff seems to look down on students under a 3.5.

The business school has a strange system of offering courses which works if attending class is the only thing you do. Have a part time job, forget it, the classes work against you. Hope to select class times and sequences that work better for your individual learning style, not in Gabelli Business. A couple of nice deans, the rest all seem to be reading from the same script. If you think outside the box, this is not the business school for you. If you want to learn to be a business clone, you must apply. There are non catholic students, but this school seems to only care about the catholic students. Being catholic seems to impact many of my classes as well. My catholic high school was more open minded.
