I wonder why Fordham doesn't get more love as it just seems like they have so many positives. Beautiful Campus (RH) in urban setting, mid-size, no greek. Sure I know they are expensive but merit aid is really good for a higher level student. Maybe they get squeezed out by state publics that are more cost effective and T-50 that are more desirable not sure?

It should be attractive for those who want NYC.

We are in a similar boat also noting the catholic leaning of many - would add Duquesne, Loyola Marymount

University of North Florida

Gonzaga
TCU

Depends on how you define urban - Seton Hall is in a suburb but close to cities. Dayton is mot a city.

Duquesne? Fordham? Lesley? Drexel? Case? SMU. Tulsa. St Louis University. DePaul. Richmond. Butler. Tulane.

Seeing a lot of love for Fordham among the local grads this year.

Tulane, Trinity in San Antonio (small), especially for accting. Both urban, 4+1 MAcct

UMiami, GW, Tulane

Temple but bring a gun. UPenn is in a slightly better area. Macalester if you're woke.

So far have seen on this board: Loyola MD, Loyola Chicago, Xavier, Marquette, St Joes Philly, Dayton, Denver, Maybe Seton Hall? seem to be a lot of Catholic ones which is ok with us even though not very religious. Anyone have experience with these or any others to add? Undecided major but most likely accounting or marketing. Loyola MD probably too small for kid but keeping it on here because they have generous aid and we are price sensitive.
