Facilities Need Updating
Classrooms are is great need of updating. They are even worse than those at my public high school. The elevators are constantly broken.
Workout center is cramped for the size of the school so expect a wait during popular times like before dinner

Self Segregation
Commuters bring racial diversity. Unfortunately, There is just not that much interaction between different ethnic groups.

Health Violations
Our food service, which is run by Sodexo, was recently cited by NYC health inspectors for health violations.

Cheaper Alternative
off campus apartments are cheaper than living on campus. Just make sure the off campus building has proper security in place to avoid thefts and muggings, which have occurred recently.

Stingy
The school is not known for being generous with aid, they usually hand out alot of loans since Fordham does not meet full need.

Core Is Ridiculous
The biggest problem is the core curriculum, which will take up both freshmen and sophomore years. Many of these core classes are taught by Grad. students, not PhD's. Moreover, students in these classes are very apathetic.

Save Often
Generally good, but make sure you save your work often as I have experienced crashes while using them.

Repetitive
Students go to the same bars off campus(Tr-Bar Area). While fun during the first half of Freshman year, the cycle gets boring/repetitive after awhile and they are not cheap to enter!

Division
Literal division between freshman who commute and freshman who live on campus, because it is often drawn along racial and socioeconomic boundaries.

Not the best surrounding area.
You learn pretty quickly not to walk out of the campus late at night without another person or group. Fordham sends out numerous emails throughout the year of students getting mugged and attacked, usually at night, off-campus.

Ram Vans
Fordham has inter-campus van transportation between the Bronx and Manhattan campus. They are not free, though. Beware of sitting next to drunk students heading back from clubs, unless you want to get vomit all over your clothes.

We don't win!
Our basketball team is a joke. In my Sophomore year, we won only 1 game. I'm serious. Football team has not had much success either.

Fugly
A significant number of students just want to get wasted all the time. Also, many of the boys are gay, the one's that arent are nerds or jocks.

Beware
Public safety seems to take pleasure in handing out fines and write ups to students for the stupidest of things. Such as being on a opposite gender floor 5 minutes after it closes.

Career Planning
Career planning is a joke at Fordham. Fordham College at Rose Hill students are largely left to fend for themselves to find internships and jobs. I believe the Gabelli school (our business school) has recently started their own career service program because of how ineffective the main Career planning was.
