ALERT: Listen NOW New Prospects-Do Not Go to Fordham, I Repeat Take It Off Your List Now.
The only reason why this school isn't given an F is because you are able to access Manhattan for the average fee of about $15 roundtrip. The girls are whales, lesbians, or the most social awkward creatures ever (the rare hot ones especially, or they are snotty rich girls who have boyfriends in the City). The guys vary from the stuck-up Christian to the lonely stoner drunk, everyone drinks their miseries away, it's actually very sad. Don't get me wrong I love partying; in fact I was planning on going to Boulder to basically get my fill of drugs, alcohol, and sluts. The reason why I didn't still haunts me today, however I made the decision to withdraw as soon as I could. If you choose Fordham BE READY to deal with the biggest assholes in your life: the student population consists of rich sheltered white kids who only care about themselves, the goal of Residential Life is to get you in as much trouble as possible, and be prepared to be mugged at least once if not twice in your career. I was witness to a gang shooting where two men were shot, one was killed. RAs will go out of their way to catch kids drinking and will write you up for Marijuana on the basis that your room smells like weed. Even if you are an OCCASIONAL user, you will be written up, your room will be searched, you will have to pay hundred$$$ in fines!! By the way if you even consider having sex while you are in college make sure you do it before 3 am, or else you'll be getting a BJ in the bushes during the snowy February days. Campus security is a joke, yet beware if you are caught by campus security you are PHUCKED with a capital F. The FOOD is filled with laxatives, as a majority of the materials used are preserved from a can, and you have ONE cafeteria to choose from which closes at 8PM! So no "free" late night snacks, munchies, or energy boosts. For your first two years you will be given Graduate student teachers, who couldn't give a damn about your learning progress. Basically be prepared to learn nothing, do average in school, and drink you're sorrows away a majority of the weeks. Also, you are in New York, so any type of fun you have to PAY for. That means you need $$ if you even want to have an average time. All of my close friends, ergo the cool people you won't meet, are planning or in the process of transferring. I do not wish any bad luck on anyone who chooses Fordham as their next step, in fact I hope you have a better experience that me and my peers had. If you do choose Fordham though, understand this...YOU WERE WARNED!
