$98k tuition fees housing food plan (not including indirect costs)

OMG. For those of us still in the research phase, it would help to know the net price after the merit award is deducted from the list price . . . not just the merit award itselse.

OP here. Our cost of attendance is $61k- a couple hundred dollars less than OOS Pitt (with no merit given).

Fordham is extremely generous with merit. It often ends up costing around the same or less as many other schools.

+1 That's a lot lower than some other schools that don't have the benefits of Fordham. Plus it's a beautiful campus.

Since it's in NYC, students can get internships during the school year. That's why Fordham places well on Wall Street and prestigious arts organizations.

Nice school but not in same category of ND, HC, Georgetown, and BC.

No one is claiming it is.

It's not far off from Holy Cross. Donut hole families are priced out of the others. Fordham gives good merit.

If you're getting significant FA or wealthy and cost isn't a factor, then go ahead and go to the best one you can get into. But it's different for families chasing merit.

Reputation, ranking, acceptance rate it is far off from Holy Cross.

Georgetown and Holy Cross draw from a wealthier crowd.

Fordham and Villanova seem comparable excluding Basketball.

The PP asked for the base price before anyone’s merit aid in this thread was taken into account.

OMG you should be able to do the simple math…

If you have a kid at/recent grad would love to hear your POV. Mine is one of the kids in this thread who got in and are seriously considering. Lincoln Center.

Mine got a $21,800 tuition award from Fordham. We honestly weren’t expecting anything, especially after my student was initially deferred in the EA round.
