OP here. Thanks for the information. What made your made family member choose the Manhattan campus over the main campus?

The location was appealing. She was not a student looking for the typical college experience. However, some of her roomates felt disconnected. It is a great school either way.

I went to Rose Hill back in the early 2000's. A LOT of Jersey commuters that left on the weekends...I mean I was one of maybe 5 kids left in the dorm labor day weekend for example. Nice shuttle service between the campuses, so I started spending a lot of time at the Lincoln center campus in my free time and learned the city and had a great experience. Considered moving to Lincoln center but I was a science major. For a kid that wants what you're stating (more traditional college experience but near a city) you don't get much better than Fordham.

My DC is also interested in Fordham but we are atheists. Do non-Catholics feel out of place on campus? The Lincoln Center campus really excites my child but it is unclear to me how many classes are offered there since it is a smaller campus. I know the business school is there but am not sure what else is available if you'd rather be at Lincoln Center instead of the Bronx.

My sister went there, 2019 graduate. Had an overall great experience, lots of cool opportunities in NYC. She also liked that it didn't have fraternities/sororities as she wasn't at all interested in the Greek scene. My parents are MC/UMC and she got (IMO) fantastic financial aid. I was impressed with the administrators who spoke at her graduation.

I went there 25 years ago. Loved being in NYC. If the Jesuit part is a plus not a minus then great.

Is anyone going to answer the original question?

Mercyhurst

University of Dayton

Yes, I was going to mention these, as well as St. Joes in Philadelphia, all of which are Jesuit and located in cities. I went to St. Joseph's years ago and loved being a college student in Philadelphia.

Duquesne (Pittsburgh) and John Carroll (near Cleveland,Ohio). These schools are both Catholic.

Depending on stats, Santa Clara, LMU, albeit more suburban

Potential reach, Villanova (suburban Philly, not Jesuit, Catholic Augustinian)

Thanks for the suggestions. We are looking for something on the East Coast within a day’s drive of DC.

Holy Cross, Quinnipac, Providence, St. Joseph’s, BC (reach), Fairfield, CUA

Unless your kid is NMF don’t expect the cost of a Fordham to be under $40k/yr. And that would be a best-case scenario (a lot of merit aid).

So the school doesn’t offer much in aid? Bummer.

I’d fill out the NPC calculator to get an estimate.
