90 thousand dollars a year and They do not care about you at all. They harp on the weirdest stuff, the staff is terrible and the food is not edible. It's a joke of a school that should not be held in the esteem it is. They are straight up robbing students at this point. What they do here is wrong and they do not deserve to be an accredited school
Overall 1.6
It is the definition of a party school and pales in comparison to other elite schools in the NYC area, such as NYU and Columbia. Professors are average at best, and the office of professional development is useless.
And by the way, apples are quite literally the best food offered here. Most of the food is awful.
Overall 1.7
Worst four years of my life (very happy now at another grad school). Mediocre professors, inactive clubs, white and wealthy culture benefitting conservative trust fund kids, few opportunities for minorities, very politically tense. All funding goes to Gabelli. No sports culture, pride, Greek life, or community. Dangerous place-- got shot at.
Overall 1.7
This place is not what I thought it was going to be. The classes are too small and the professors are okay. I haven't learned anything except for that there is a sauna in Lombardi. The food is terrible, and the residential life treats you like an infant. This school lacks the challenge of teaching responsibility. Looks like I'm transferring.
Overall 1.8
this school is not fun in the slightest. The kids are pretentious and the professors are rude and suck
Do not go to this school. In addition to me I know 3 other kids already transferring their first year.
Overall 1.9
Fordham University looks pretty but that's about it. There isn't enough of a variety of courses offered consistently and all the courses that I have taken left a lot to be desired. If you want to do a STEM major, anywhere else is better. It's not the worst but you're better off literally anywhere else considering the amount of money Fordham costs.
