What's your beef with Fordham?

I went there in the late 80's/early 90's, when FLAG was new on campus (Fordham Lesbians and Gays). There was a big debate back then if they should be granted full 'club' status on campus. I guess they settled that. I for one didn't think it should get university funding. What do I know though. It's still a great school that gave me 4 great years.

I went there for three years (graduated early), and had some great professors. The student body was dominated by materialistic preppies and frat-boy, sports obsessed wannabes (Fordham doesn't allow frats, but you get the point). I had a great education though, aside from theology.

My point is that, as a lapsed Catholic, I had little respect for the Jesuits who did a worse job of teaching the faith than the senile CCD teachers of my youth. No wonder there was so much hooking up and screwing going on in the dorms.

On another note, nobody in the NYC area drinks as much as Fordham students. I practically had to call the ambulance four times every saturday night because some chick had a little too much Guiness.
