fordham is in the center of manhattan and the perfect spot to attend law school and be recruited to a big law firm. The professors are top notch given the ideal location and the people and social life are amazing. There is no more normal school with smart people.

Wow. I got into Columbia and shocked my family when I chose Fordham over it, but it was the best thing that could have happened to me. Fordham is the right choice if you want a top-level legal education in the hearty of NYC. None of the corporate pandering bs at Ivy's, respect for your goals and focused education.

Surely a top school. The new building in Lincoln Center is majestic. The environment is stimulating and friendly. The school is demanding but professors are great and also all the people who work in the school are extremely available and ready to help. Fordham is not only a school. It's a family! Simply great.

I really expected great things from Fordham Law, but it let me down the entire time I was here. Most of us have terrible job prospects. The school is run down and no one is doing anything to fix it, despite our $55,000+ a year tuition. Meanwhile the professors' salaries only grow. The library is a windowless prison. I made a terrible mistake here.

Campus is in a great area and most of the staff such as the registrar's office are always friendly and greet students with smiles. Scholarship money gets "reallocated." No one knows where that goes. CPC seems distant; most students avoid this office.
