[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No skin in the game but have had relatives and friends there now and for years. 
Not a commuter school at all.
Not “surprisingly good”.
Fordham has always been a good school.  Definitely has a very strong alumni network in the NYC area. 
Beautiful campus. 
Jesuit. 
Surrounding area of the main Bronx campus looks very unsafe at first glance but I have not heard of incidents.  Police presence (current and former NYPD not just campus police) is like a cordon.  
Arthur Ave is a vibrant Italian neighborhood even to this day with fantastic restaurants and great places for students to go. 
Easy access to Manhattan which students take advantage of. 
The majority of students are likely from the tri state area but it’s not a commuter school. 
Smart kids, I’m a fan [/quote]
Why are people saying the surrounding area "looks very unsafe"? It didn't look like that to me. Do you hear Bronx and assume it's unsafe? Have you seen the surrounding areas of some of the "elite" schools?

Also, I went to another Jesuit school in the 90's, and Fordham had a good reputation then. I don't remember them having the separate Manhattan campus then. It's not like it's just recently become "good." The difference is that it also has not become extremely competitive since the 90s, unlike, say, Vanderbilt, Washington U, Chicago, NYU. The pricetag is high, though. [/quote]
