Fordham University
Bronx, NY
A Jesuit university with two New York City campuses — Rose Hill in the Bronx and Lincoln Center in Manhattan — known for strong communications, business, and pre-law programs that lean directly on the city's internship and media market. Social life splits between a more traditional, leafy quad-and-dorms feel at Rose Hill and a fully urban experience at Lincoln Center, with Atlantic 10 athletics drawing modest but genuine campus interest.
