Fordham University — Attraction in New York

Let me state unequivocally that Fordham is a complete scam of a university, it basically is a very expensive liberal arts undergraduate college, expensive for no particular reason. The teaching faculty are 50% adjunct, poorly paid which means you are basically getting community college plus. Stem and the sciences are woeful and in complete pretend mode. The university has completely missed the tech boom, actually hiding from it for fear it would cannibalize liberal arts. Fordham is just a story that you have to buy into about how great the Jesuits are, asking questions or connecting the dots to nothingness is very dangerous and not acceptable, scratch the surface of Fordham and one gets light.

Graduate school at Fordham has pretty much been depleted. My own degree an MBA has essentially been wiped out after being a massive degree factory for more than 20 years. It was grossly skimmed while funding other areas of the university like the football team. It is not a pleasant experience having one's degree wiped out, it now has 37 full-time students and about the same for part-time. At one time it had 1800 part time MBA students (one of the largest MBA programs in the world). Now it is a MS degree mill for Chinese students wanting a US work visa, it has 12 one year MS programs on offer with over 80% of the students from China.

To recommend Fordham would be like recommending a mafia skimming casino in Vegas to go gamble in. It is a all about the Jesuits and they will do anything to protect that, it is a narcissistic and pervasive overkill brand that has devastated graduate school. The Jesuits main focus is social justice which is basically free to teach and we can all learn it watching the news. They could care less about careers or degree value!

Fordham is the Catholic Yeshiva of New York, both are stagnant sinking ships. Fordham is 95% net tuition revenue funded which means it cannot build facilities or hire decent faculty, it is a facade needing knocked down. Relying on Lombardi and a few well known grads to fool everyone is what they excel at. A big caveat emptor regarding Fordham, it is just a college experience for white kids drinking in the Bronx and getting...

Fordham University is an exceptional institution that offers a world-class education in the heart of New York City. As a student in the LLM program at Fordham Law, I had the opportunity to experience firsthand the many benefits of attending this prestigious university.

First and foremost, the faculty and staff at Fordham Law are truly exceptional. They're experts in their fields, with a deep commitment to helping students succeed both academically and professionally. They're always available to answer questions and provide guidance, whether you're struggling with a class or exploring potential career paths.

The curriculum at Fordham Law is rigorous and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding.

The LLM program in particular is highly specialized, with a focus on international and comparative law that's perfect for students looking to expand their horizons and gain a global perspective.

What's even more impressive is the sense of community at Fordham Law. The students are diverse, talented, and truly supportive...

I went here for grad school in the MSW program. I found the entire program a bit lacking, but the internship experience was the worst part. I experienced that there is an excessive degree of ableism and greed involved in the program. As a student with disabilities I was faced with a lot of pushback in connection to the required internship, and from Dean White Ryan in particular. The department that handled the internship program is so disorganized and not centered on students- the students who pay 70k for this. I’m glad I got my degree, and there are some phenomenal teachers who helped guide me, but my experience was awful. I’d never recommend this school or the program. There’s simply too much gaslighting of students, of which I experienced firsthand, and it cost me a lot of extra money and time, which I suspect is by design. There are other schools that offer more care. All that said, Fordham has an amazing team at the Office of Disability Services, but that department is clearly underfunded and...
