There are so many things I have problems with at Fordham. I beg you to visit and really pay attention to how the student body is, very bro, much more conservative then i expected. All people do at Fordham is go to bars to drink, and thats done very often. There is no diversity besides commuters who keep to themselves. (which is understood when you see the majority of the student body) If you do no like partying or are not a big drinker in any sense DO NOT GO TO FORDHAM. Even though it is so close manhattan people hate going in at night because theyre afraid they will miss a "good" time at the bars or some party off campus. This leads me to off campus life, the surrounding community hates you. I do not lie, on several occasions fordam students have been mugged or harassed, it has happened to me as well. If you want to go to a school in NYC go to a school in manhattan or some better neighborhood. The surrounding area to fordham is incredibly impoverished and sees you as a rich kid there to exploit where they live for your fun. (which is true of most fordham students) I didn't get in too any other school and i thought hey they gave me some money and itll be big enough to find some cool people. So far ive been wrong. Fordham students suck, theyre ignorant and so many are right wing conservatives it's crazy. Now again about the partying thing. I know its everywhere, but at Fordham it seems to be all people do which wouldn't be as terrible if they at least had some substance to them. Finding people who rather do something different with their weekends is very difficult.

Fordham's academics are at least better, although not that hard they are somewhat overwhelming at first, but thats going to be true of any other college. The teachers are very approachable here and want you to see them. Some of the cores do suck though, but it can be manageable.

All in all i highly regret going here, its been miserable.
