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.

I agree 100% with the way you sum up the student body, but I still had fun. If you were there a few years earlier, you likely would have had to call an ambulance for me one Saturday night! :)

I also agree that the Jesuits didn't 'teach the faith' that well. I was a philosophy major and graduated more confused about my faith than ever before. What was your major?
