Plenty of good schools around without the snobbery or their super liberal agendas.

Go to a good school, make good connections. Connections come first in life. It’s who you know not what you know. Always was and will be that way.
NYU is known for connections.
What school do you send your kids to that have a better network for job placement, internships and alumni?
My impression is that the connections you make at that school are better than most.
Interested in knowing the schools you rank higher?

Schools are were you make connections for sure, I just dislike the NYU.
When time will come we will select a school with values that align with ours since we will be paying for it.

The big campus is in the Bronx. Not many big companies are recruiting from Fordham over NYU.

Amen. After spending 25 years in corporate America, I can attest to that! But I do think moving forward it won't be what school you went to or what grades you got but rather what color you are or what "victimized" group you belong to. Corporations are already starting with it. My prediction is that when the last generation of the "old white men" die off - the ones that run the boards of companies all over America for profit - companies will be judged not by financial success but rather things like DEI. Companies will be full of inept, incapable and unable individuals which will eventually ruin America's economy. Same said for the military. Give it 30 years.

I've listened to Fordham's Sunday afternoon Irish music show for decades and the student hosts, mostly female, a few guys, always strike me as being very nice and down to earth. [WFUV 12-4pm]

Fordham wins for overall best college radio station.
Hands down.

I don't disagree, but it all depends on what you are specializing in. Just attending NYU doesn't guarantee anything.

I agree but if money is not a concern, most people would choose NYU over Fordham. Most companies would recruit at NYU over Fordham.

I know that it’s a small sample size but only people I know from Fordham either majored in Sports Broadcasting or went to their law school.
