Fordham University

Fordham is significantly less academic than it claims to be. It's core classes are poorly designed introduction classes which spark little interest and provide plenty of busywork. Food is sub-par and often not available (no food on weekends until 11 o'clock). Most kids are from NJ. Many of my classes suffer from a painful lack of scholastic discussion and a sorrowful inability of students to write or speak effectively. Fordham's library has embarrassing hours (closing at 7 on fridays, opening as late as 8:30 on weekdays).

All in all, the school is a let-down, and extraordinarily pompous school considering its average educational quality. I have learned more from my jobs on Arthur Avenue and from reading on my own than from any class at the school.
