There isn't too much diversity between the types of people that go to Fordham.

The Rose Hill campus, which I attend, is nicknamed "Bro's Hill"

At Lincoln Center the stereotypes are that the boys are either gay, or if not then extremely metro and kind of weird. The Girls are pretty standard for a school in NYC. Although there is one negative stereotype that holds pretty true to us FCLC girls, the second a straight guy is noted...we pounce.

The stereotypes that you hear about Fordham students is that all the guys are gay, there are way too many females, everyone is really catty and rude, and since the school is so small, there is too much gossip and everyone knows each others' business. Plus, it's over run with theater majors, so you'll never have a moment's peace.

The "uptown" kids (at the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx) are more conservative, less serious about academics, and more "traditional" (more jocks, beer pong, etc.). The downtown kids (at the Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan) are more left politically, a lot are gay, and mostly everyone is in one of the arts programs, and commuters are "poorer" than the resident students.

there are two schools one for residents (white) & commuters (black). Fordham is rumored to have the highest percentage of gay males for undergraduate institution

That we are a suitcase school and that we are a party school.

Well I think alot of people might look at Fordham as a dangerous place brecause of its location in the Bronx. And to be honest if you are not smart about what you are doing, where you are, and who you are with it could come back to bite you because there is crime in the surrounding area. However, I must say there is certainly a great feeling of community with Fordham and the surrounding area, especially little Italy on Arthur Avenue.
As for stereotypes about the kids, I guess they would just be that the school is full of rich, white kids from the Northeast. This is partial true in some respects, but there are a great number of students from all over the U.S. and foreign countries as well. The draw of New York City seems to bring alot of different people to Fordham (including the West Coast) and I think that is one of the most interesting parts of the school-- there is a wide variety of people and lifestyles to learn from.

Some stereotypes about Fordham students are that they are all rich white Catholic school kids.
