Fordham University Reviews

"Pros: Quality education and great new building; Cons: High cost to live/hang out in the area"

"I believe the support from faculty, the type of courses, small class sizes, fieldwork experiences are a tremendous assest to the my graduate program. The tuition, financial aid/scholarships, access to support staff for financial aid, and certain technology service could use improvement."

"Academically, Fordham was a fantastic university. They really emphasized learning a wide variety of subjects that I may not otherwise have chosen to study. The majority of the professors were engaged and driven as were fellow classmates. However, graduating with a BA degree in Communications and Media studies from this school has left me feeling very unprepared for the real world. While I learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, I received very little practical training and feel ill equipped to do any concrete work in the TV or Film industry. I would have loved to take a class in editing, cinematography...any aspect of media training that I could be expected to do on set, however these classes were not offered on the Lincoln Center campus. But if you are a student who truly enjoys learning, lectures and animated group discussions, and are thinking beyond just marketable skills, then Fordham is a great learning experience."

"I had a great time at Fordham University. I really was impressed with the face that many of my teachers were District Attorneys and were able to guide me in my future career. I really loved this school and everything about it."

"I loved Fordham! The professors, for the most part, were very educated and inspirational. There were lots of time slots and options for classes and most of the lectures were educational. There was a great variety of students and lots of options at the campus."

"Fordham University was my first choice when applying to schools. Though I sometimes think I should have chosen another NYC school, I believe that Fordham is where I was meant to be. That being said, it was frustrating at times to be in certain classes, whether because of complacent students or distracted professors. Amongst the faculty, there are a few stars, many of whom I remain in contact with today. As with any university, what you put in is what you'll get out. If you show professors that you truly care and are eager to learn, they will be there to help in any way they can."

"This graduate program/university does not provide enough financial aid or scholarships. Fordham University is in the top 25 great graduate school for Social Work in the United States."

"Pros are that it is designed for working professionals. Cons are that it is costly."

"The vast of experience that is endowed with each professor . this is a new program at the school which allows the cohort faculty to design the program needs that can be researched and evaluated successfully."

"The program at Fordham is very good, but they provide almost no financial support. However, their faculty members are amazing to work with, and the courses are incredibly engaging and insightful. They truly care about you and want you to succeed."

"The doctoral program in School Psychology at Fordham University is better than I could have imagined. The faculty is incredible - knowledgeable, helpful, and more than friendly. I have learned so much and am looking forward to completing my dissertation to officially call myself a Fordham graduate!"

"Fordham University has a very strong academic program; however, the financial help the school offers is not adequate."

"The program is expensive, but the quality of the class material and professors are exceptional."

"I recommend Fordham if you live in the NYC area. Its a great school teachers are very supportive and willing to help. They are committed to helping the student. I am glad i made the decision to get my MSW at Fordham"

"the only con i have encountered is the discrepancy of workload between different sections of classes due to professor discretion"

"The pros of the program are the professors who seem to genuinely care for the students, the innovative curriculum which utilizes both economics and political science, and the location in New York. The cons of the graduate program is the lack of community amongst the individuals interested in business, as the program emphasizes the developmental economics."

"I love my school. It is in a great location, the professors are really good and easy to get a hold of. They really care about their students."

"Pros: Knowledgeable professors, great students, administration and books and registration is taken care of. Cons: Only meet once a month"
