Fordham University Top Questions

There is a lack of diversity among the student body.

There are two things. First, financial aid. I earned a full tuition scholarship to this school, as well as outside scholarships, and yet it is extremely difficult for me to get Fordham to recognize this aid.

It is geared towards english and history majors, and very few of my extremely high AP grades were accepted as placement.

The most frustrating about my campus is the cafeteria. Of course, that much is to be expected since it definitely is not your mother's cooking. Everything is overpriced and you have to buy items indiviually.

Financial Issues. It's too expensive. Otherwise I love it here.

At times I am frustrating with the performance of some professors who seem not into there job and it is reflected in their teaching style.
