Fordham University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Haley

I strongly believe the best thing about Fordham Universtiy is the opportunities that New York City offers. With being so close to New York, students have the opportunity to participate in internships and acquire career experience in the city. Not only does the city offer hands-on career exposoure, but also teaches students to appreciate the cultural diversity New York offers. Often, students obtain jobs in the city following graduation from Fordham, building and maintaing the very strong alumni network present in New York City.

Bailey

The best thing about my school is the opportunities it presents to the students. There are so many career fairs and networking opportunities that it's almost impossible to NOT find a career after graduation. Career Services also helps out a lot.

The best thing about my school would have to be its alumni. They berth of the talent and guidance that currents students can tap into based on the almni base alone is one of the reasons that I chose to attend this school. Past students are ever present and willing to help the students and the school in anyway that they can, be it putting up workshops and presentations or allowing the oppurtunity to gave work experience and potential careers within their field or their own businesses.

Charlotte

Fordham teaches by example. The curriculum, staff, faculty and other students all encourage others to get involved to help our community and others that need our assistance. There is an extremely supportive atmosphere that creates a warm and comfortable environment to learn. The intimicy of the Lincoln Center campus provides students with the proper support to feel relaxed taking steps that may otherwise seem intimidating if they felt alone in such a huge city like New York.

Fordham is the total college package it is so easy to find your niche here.

The best thing about Fordham Universtiy is its location. Since its located in the Bronx, many people believe it is a bad environment and unsafe to leave campus. This is not the case. We are surrounded the Bronx's little Italy, the New York Botanical Gardens, and the Bronx Zoo. It's a very diverse area, and as long as you know where to go and keep at least one person with you it's a great area.

Bianca

I think that the best thing about my school is that I have the ability to partake in numerous opportunities and activities to further educate myself within the liberal arts college.

Their goal is to have us think outside of the box and to constantly enforce an open-minded attitude toward the world and community we live and serve in.
