Fordham University

If you want the city experience while going to college, this is it. The education you will get here is not comparable to any other school. The deans/​advisors are amazing and the staff is super friendly. There are a few professors that are not about student success and play favoritisms.
The facility is nice and there is always plenty of room to study and get quiet time. If you are considering Fordham check out rose hill and Lincoln center. There is a ram shuttle to go between both for free!

I’m just writing to express my discontent with their marketing/​advertising school more importantly with Ginna Hill Lobasso, their Assistant Director of Career Advising. I just had one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. They posted an event for students to do a site visit in Undertone (digital advertising agency) on Eventbrite, which is an open source platform that ANYONE in the whole world can sign up for their events and attend. Nowhere in the event copy said it was ONLY for Fordham students so I signed up and was eagerly waiting to go.
I finally get there and once there, already sat down, the management told me in front of EVERYBODY that I needed to leave because I wasn’t a Fordham student. What an embarrassment. I told them nowhere in the event ad said it was just for Fordham students and how they could possibly be so unprofessional by posting an event in a open to the public platform when it was supposed to be only for their students. If you are in marketing or advertising or hell even a gardening YOU KNOW EVENTBRITE IS FOR EVENTS ANYONE CAN SEE AND ATTEND IF THEY ARE NOT SPECIFIED. To be honest, the day before I was suspicious of the Fordham email of the Contact info so I wrote them an email and they didn’t answer me which again made me think everything was fine.
I am a digital marketing student in another school, I’m passionate about the field, but I have low economic resources thus these kind of Eventbrite free events are essential for me.
What they did to me is unbelievable and dangerous by playing around with students who are not necessarily in the best economic situation. Me and thousands of others in the city are just trying to use these free resources because is all we have to improve our skills and education.
This has been incredibly painful to me and I can’t understand why if they already made the mistake of having their event online for everybody, why if I’m already there, WHY THEY NEEDED TO KICK ME OUT?! I was there because I just wanted to learn.
I never, ever write reviews but felt this was important to share because this matters and I don’t want others to be affected like it just happened to me.
I really hope they understand what they did, if not they are really messed up and not aware of our social and educational inequality.
My sincere thoughts,
Rafael Lopez

I’m giving Fordham one star because the location is great! Being close to Columbus Circle is convenient and there are so many things nearby. Fordham was the only place I wanted to go to school because it was so highly recommended by several friends. However, it has been nothing but a disappointment unfortunately. I have found that overall, the staff/​faculty are neither knowledgeable, nor friendly. Save your money and don’t come here!

Been going to Fordham almost over a gazillion years now, I have relatives graduated from here, along with myself, both campuses are great! GO RAMS! Dont hesitate to visit Fordham for a huge array of undergrad and grad courses, conveniently located steps from Lincoln center, central park!

I may be biased since I am currently attending school here. The Lincoln Center campus is in Midtown West, near The Met, Columbus Circle, Central Park and a ton of other places or things to do. The very fitting motto is… Fordham is my school, New York is my campus.

America. Come on man, let’s talk. You weren’t always this ghetto. I mean check out your universities. They used to be the envy of the world. People would rather go to Wyoming state than the Harvard of Togo because Wyoming state was solid. Now look at you, gorging on fries and Ayn Rand, an interstate whore dealing sloppy seconds to millionaires from Wichita.
And your schools? Man have you been to one? Fordham dude. Private, Jesuit school. The Jesuits are the scholars in the Catholic Church, right? You knew that Jesuit meant quality. Goodness man. Your building is in the first stage of decrepitude– slow elevators, rationing soap, flooded toilets left unattended.
Your students– well I’m dealing with one– on a full ride mind you– who can barely read. Your curricula? Did you really assign your students a cartoon of kids singing about «any way to make a buck» and being an entrepreneur? Pope Frankie would not be pleased.
Check this out– the nicest looking, crispest clothes are worn by security personnel. Can we declare full Pinochet status yet? Come on man.

Fordham University — Lincoln Center Campus.
Fordham has two campuses, Rose Hill in The Bronx and Lincoln Center. The two locations are vastly different. Rose Hill is a more traditional college campus setting surround by a questionable neighborhood and a tall fence with security guards at each entrance/​exit. Lincoln Center is much smaller and compact with its campus adjacent to Lincoln Center. It is a quick walk from Columbus Circle and Central Park.
During my visit, I liked the diversity of the Lincoln Center study body (the campus seemed to have a diverse group of ehtnicities vs. mostly white students at Rose Hill — NOT a judgement, but an observation.)
I can’t say I was overly impressed with the facilities. The classrooms, dorms and buildings overall seemed a bit dated, but not a deal-​breaker. In fact, they are opening a new law school and freshman housing building soon (Fall 2014?)
I cannot speak directly to the academics, but the school is highly rated and seemed to me that it is an excellent university. My daughter liked the tour and would consider attending Fordham, Lincoln Center (not Rose Hill).
4 solid stars from this parent of a prospective student.

Fordham University’s Manhattan Campus is so wonderful! I am currently attending this school right now, everything is in the school itself. The school is so big and comfy. I love it. I never have to wait too long for the elevator. The professors are good. The staff is friendly and helps you. The students are always going about their day, and are very smart!
Fordham University however, has big classes. It always has some sort of event going on. The students who attend this school get discounts everywhere! Well everywhere around the campus that is.
I am currently attending the Pre-​Med program and am actually transferring this semester to another school because I was very inconvenienced with my scheduling for the summer. Every single class in the evening is only being offered in the Rose Hill Campus in the Bronx. I would have to attend one class four times a week for 3+ hours in the night at a campus that is 2 hours away from home and my advisor would not even work with me, basically told me to call her back when I have determined my schedule. I was so astonished but moved quickly! I’m in the process of switching my school.
I was not advised about this inconvenience before accepting to go to this school. Luckily, I have a lot to fall back on. My grades are spectacular and am constant with my education decisions. I stay on top of my career and success. However, it is just time consuming and a waste of money to spend in the process of applying to another school. If I would have known this from the beginning, I would have chosen another school to go to.
But the five stars are solemnly based on the campus. It is not the schools fault that the advisor did not do her job as good as she should of. She’s very nice, but unhelpful. Did not work with me at all, and made me fell like I can be replaced. The school that I intend on transferring to, makes me feel like they have so much to gain from me, and makes me feel wanted. Therefore I will give them 3 years of my time, and three years of my money!
Tip: Pick your schools wisely, and speak to students that already attend!

I would call Fordham the most underrated school in the Northeast. It’s got an amazing Jesuit educational philosophy behind it (think Georgetown or BC) and it’s in the greatest city in the US, perhaps the world.
The Rose Hill Campus is fantastically beautiful and academically, the best of all of Fordham College’s Undergrad programs, with the exception of Drama which is focused at Lincoln Center. The Undergrad students at LC are famously more lowbrow than the Bronx campus (Rose Hill) but the Graduate Programs at Lincoln Center are amazing, especially Law and the GSB.
In a nutshell, if you’re looking for a top-​level Undergraduate program, go to Rose Hill. If you’re looking for a great Graduate program, go to Lincoln Center.
I have my BA from FCRH and I’ve also got an MFA from UCLA and several grad courses from NYU, Columbia, Manhattan College and CUNY and none of them came even close to the positive impression Fordham and its professors left on me.
Famous alumni include, Amanda Hearst, John Skelton, Patricia Clarkson, Wellington Mara, Denzel Washington, and Vince Lombardi, among others.

Company hosts their annual Interchange here; this March we found the facilities and management to be solid for the price. Staff is friendly and rooms are not in disrepair; auditorium is workable for keynotes and receptions.

Went to Fordham Lincoln Center Campus for my MBA.
The program was great.
The teachers are amazing as well.
Your classmates are okay… it seemed that everyone in my class was looking for some sort of transformation and career advancement, as if the MBA would give them the skill set they need to excel in their careers. NOT SO PEOPLE. An MBA is an education, you learn a lot of theory and such… you are paid for application. You can learn all you want about financial modeling or valuing a company but if you are not in a place that you can display this knowledge or actually use it, then it’s pointless.
There is a LOT of group work which I am not a fan of. After working all day, the last thing I wanted was to meet for extra hours outside of class time to complete a project! I didn’t like it at all and think that it is ridiculous that there are so many group projects… and I majored in Finance and Management. GO FIGURE.
Again, it is a great institution with a great faculty and provides a great education.
The location of this school is even better! Lincoln Center is next door and that’s where you graduate, it is just amazing! I recommend!

Wonderful place to go to school if you can afford it. Went here for 2 years and met so many great minds. Dormed at Lincoln Center campus for one year, and the location IMO can’t be beat. It’s so beautiful, and getting to classes is so easy it’s ridic! Def can gain those Freshman 15+ easy unless you climb the stairs or have a great metabolism.

the location on the UWS cant be beat, it is close to 3 grocery stores and a trader joes! the subway is close and when fashion week rolls around there are plenty of celebrities around! the law school is also well ranked and a new building will be opening in a few years… visit if you are debating law school or undergrad!

This is my alma mater. I had an amazing 4 years here and was blessed to have some amazing professors and meet some amazing people which I stil cherish till this day.
YAY RAMS!!! WE ARE… :)

2008 MSW GRAD. Now I’m back for my CASAC certification. I love Fordham! Go Rams!

I’m a law student here, but spend a lot of time using the general facilities, and hanging out with students in other grad programs. Could not be happier with the way things are run — there are tons of student workers, who «get» that we just want to get things done as efficiently as possible. I reviewed the law school separately, but really, Fordham has been like a dream so far. I would say that I can’t wait to graduate, but then I’d actually have to leave.

Yay Fordham LC campus. Great people, great professors.

Lovely garden at the Lincoln Center Campus, which is open to the public.

An excellent university. While not my Alma Mater, I have had the opportunity to take a number of classes here. While the Bronx campus is nice, at least within the gates, the Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campus places you in the heart of the city. It is the place to be as far as I am concerned.

Wait, you mean I don’t have to go to 7 different offices in a certain order just to get my student id? People in the one office I do have to go to don’t snarl at me and roll their eyes at me? Really smart, respected people in the field are falling over each other to come in to lecture? And on top of that they have awesome scholarship programs so that I can have the whole experience for FREE???
Damn, I’m all for public education (having graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s from 2 different institutes of public education) but this is a bureaucratic-​free dream! I keep expecting to have to wait in a 40 person line to talk to a person who will tell me I’m in the wrong 40 person line and send me to a different 40 person line.
