Trevor's Review

Review of Fordham University

from Colts neck, NJ

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Most of the teachers are extremely interested in their field and have the highest degree possible in the field. However, there are the occasional teachers who are teaching only out of requirement.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Fordham is a great place if you love New York City! I am a student at the Rose Hall campus in the Bronx but there is also a campus in Lincoln Center (Manhattan). Nevertheless, both give students easy access to everywhere in the city. Not many other schools can say that!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Yes, Fordham is very expensive. Some, including my parents, say that no college should have the right to charge this much. However, putting the price to the side, it really is a great place. For me, the campus is the perfect size and it is easy to make friends and become friendly with the administration. It is definitely worth it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Keep those grades up and practice for the SAT. Fordham's standards are rising every year as the applicant pool increases so it's important for students to find a way to stand out in the crowd.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Fordham is great if you: 1) Like/Love NYC 2) Want a real college campus (even though it's situation right in the Bronx) 3) Want a school that makes it easy to become involved in a big way
