    Sophomore : The best part about Fordham University is the community and environment. Fordham has an attitude of acceptance and is a close-knit community that I really enjoy being a part of. I met friends at Fordham quickly, and really like how comfortable I have become with them. I am excited for my next three years at Fordham, where I will meet many more friends like those I have at this point. The environment is another huge selling point for Fordham. The close proximity to New York City (20 minute train ride to Manhattan) provides plenty of opportunities to explore the city with friends. A big concern at Fordham (especially for parents) is safety. Fordham takes safety very seriously, and provides a comfortable environment for all of its students. I have never felt unsafe at Fordham. Fordham University is a great community, with a beautiful campus and an awesome environment surrounding the school in NYC. I highly recommend applying and visiting to get a taste of it for yourself!
