Fordham has been a great place to attend; the education is very solid and the workload is tough. There is a definite work hard, play hard environment.Professers will always be there for you and in some cases, bend over backwards to make you comfortable. That doesn't equate to an easy time, however; Fordham has slight grade deflation which can make grading rigid at times. The Bronx is great and close to Manhattan so there are endless possibilities. The bars in the bronx are great—most fordham students are fairly heavy drinkers. No big parties on campus but off-campus is excellent; nightlife is amazing. The catholic presence is felt but it's not overwhelming by ANY means. The only negative aspect I can think of is that occasionally the students can be a little closeminded; most are very friendly, but still fairly closeminded. When walking into the bronx, many surprising comments about diversity will be heard; it's definitely a culture shock for those who come from a sheltered, wealthy, suburban environment. Fordham is working hard to increase diversity on campus though and it shows.
