Hmm tough if going to be in NYC after grad.  Miami is up and coming but would do Fordham for alumni connections.  [/quote]

Totally agree with you.
I do feel Fordham is not ranked well recently.  Personally I prefer to Richmond, but I just do not know which is better regarded in the business world between Richmond and Miami. 
I immigrated to US about 10 year ago, and this is my only son which will go to college this year. I do not know much about colleges in the US. [/quote]
Does your child speak Spanish or have any ties to Latin American culture?  That is definitely a big part of Miami if he wishes to stay in that area after graduation.

Fordham Gabelli is well-regarded and has name recognition, plus NYC business ties are invaluable.

Richmond is a much smaller city (and has some Southern culture to it) so just a very different feel from NYC or Miami. But, it’s not a bad place to go to college![/quote]
Unless your son is really looking for a change from NYC, Richmond is a whole other world. I say this as a spouse of a UR Business grad. It's a really small school with a very tight and mostly local alumni base. Most of the kids from up north who come here, though, stay here (DH is a perfect Jersey transplant/example). We have four seasons, only two hours from DC/mtns/beach. Slower pace, much cheaper COL. There are a lot of reasons they don't return to the nest.

Worth the train ride down to see for yourself.[/quote]

Thank you for your advice!  I do plan to visit Richmond during their admitted student tour in the middle of April.[/quote]
