I don't think that Fordham is an "bad" school. However, it's nowhere near worth its high price. I have completed a semester here and know that it is not the right place for me. I must say that I was extremely disappointed by the quality of education at Fordham. In one semester, I barely learned anything. I easily learned more in a half of a year of high school. The students at Fordham are EXTREMELY generic—everyone is either a stereotypical white private school kid, or some kind of Jesus freak. It will be hard to fit in if you don't fit into either of these categories. While here, I managed to find my niche but found that there is not very much to do at Fordham. I went to the Rose Hill campus, and there's not really much to do around there but drink and go to parties. Going to Manhattan is fun but too expensive to do on a daily basis. The staff is generally nice, but due to Fordham's terrible "core curriculum", you will waste your time taking so many pointless classes. Fordham would have been worth it if it were about $30,000 a year. $50,000+ and the massive expenses of living in New York City just aren't worth it.
