Posted on Villanova board but thought I’d ask here too. Trying to decide (daughter) between Fordham and VU for liberal arts. Any insights appreciated.
Both schools are excellent for both. The differences in the two would be sports and the Greek system.
As you might know Villanova is huge with baskeball. My daughter’s best friend attends VU and LOVES it. Lots and lots of school spirit. Fordham isn’t big on the basketball but football is huge with tailgating and getting kids to go to the games.
One thing Fordham doesn’t have are sororities and fraternities. That is one thing my daughter appreciates about Fordham. While the majority of her friends from HS and where we live are all involved in these, she could care less and is glad Fordham doesn’t do this. Her best friend is in a sorority and loves it and found her niche there and a great group of girls that will be her friends forever.
I am going to assume you have visited both campuses?
