An excellent university. While not my Alma Mater, I have had the
opportunity to take a number of classes here. While the Bronx campus is
nice, at least within the gates, the Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campus
places you in the heart of the city. It is the place to be as far as I
am concerned. the location on the UWS cant be beat, it is close to 3 grocery stores
and a trader joes! the subway is close and when fashion week rolls
around there are plenty of celebrities around! the law school is also
well ranked and a new building will be opening in a few years...visit if
you are debating law school or undergrad!
Just for allowing Senator Romeo Dallaire to lecture and sign books as
well as DVDs, this is definitely as good as it gets for me. I came
prepared to listen to his lecture, and I brought his Shake Hands With
The Devil book, the film, the documentary, and the Ghosts of Rwanda DVD.
He knew they were hard to find in America.... He said so himself.
Anyway, thanks to my older sister, I was able to purchase his new book
on child soldiers (The Global Quest to Eradicate the Use of Child
Soldiers: They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children). When he saw
that I was a serious fan, his exact words were, "You have broken the
code." I blushed. I asked about his PTSD and he said, "I take my
medicine." For some reason, I said "so do I" and there was silence for a
while. Then we started talking about his interview on Charlie Rose,
which he felt was a great interview and I agreed that it was (it still
is). I was sure to let him know that his family is very lucky to have
him. I wish I brought a camera to capture this amazing moment, but it's
okay because I'll always remember. Thank you Fordham University for
hosting this event.
Wonderful place to go to school if you can afford it. Went here for 2
years and met so many great minds. Dormed at Lincoln Center campus for
one year, and the location IMO can't be beat. It's so beautiful, and
getting to classes is so easy it's ridic! Def can gain those Freshman
15+ easy unless you climb the stairs or have a great metabolism.
