So the last two comments make Fordham seem absolutely horrible. Though they do have some good points they're not exactly true.

Ok. So alot of the people that work here are from the Bronx but I don't ever feel like it's rich vs. poor. One perspective against another. Secondly, any campus you go to is going to have a strict alcohol policy. Be smart about it and be creative. It's totally possible.

I came from out of state never having visited campus even once before and I don't regret it. The campus is absolutely beautiful and all that talk that it's not even close to the city? It costs 3.25 to take Metro North to Grand Central. It's literally right outside school. $2 to take the subway. I literally go into the city every week.

Party scene: pretty good. You could get drunk every night if you wanted to but it would cost a pretty penny.

People: Super friendly! Majority of the school does hail from private catholic schools. None of them are stuck up about it in anyway though.

Food: 16th worst in the country according to Princeton. But the cookies are so damn tasty.

Location: yes it's the Bronx. Don't walk outside by yourself at two in the morning and you'll be fine. Campus is so secluded (and pretty!) that you'll hardly notice the outside world.

Conclusion: Go to Fordham! It's awesome and I'm having a great time here so far. Also the school is working really hard to raise it's rankings. Basically, rams kick butt.
