<p>Is Fordham's network as strong as holy cross's? Coming out of graduation with even stats, how would you compare the two?</p>
<p>Hmmm.....I dont know how many companies recruit at Holy Cross but I know at Fordham, historically, there has been a plethora of companies recruiting. And among those recruiting are that close network of alumnae. Fordham knows where its graduates work and like all good schools suggests that its students contact a Fordham alumn for job seeking. I think that Holy Cross is a bit more Boston oriented and not as strong, for example in New York. Then again, Fordham grads may have an easier time in NYC than Boston. Also, Fordham draws from a lot of local Catholic prep schools and those kids tend to be rather tight and look out for each other in the job hunt as well. I would imagine that Holy Cross is much the same. Deciding between these two fine Jesuit schools would be a tough choice, as they are more similar than not. Though Fordham is larger and considered a National research institution and not an LAC. They play each other in football and its a fierce rivalry. </p>
<p>Your question is a good one and I am not sure there is a clear cut answer. It really comes down to who you are, what you are looking for in a school, where you want to go to school and perhaps where you want to work when you graduate. My bias is Fordham, naturally. But I would say nothing negative about Holy Cross. Fordham is a hot school and has made the national news in college search media recently. If that helps. Fordham, Villanova, BC, Holy Cross compete for many of the same students each year. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>thanks no cousin. I actually attend Holy Cross currently, but am most likely switching for the spring semester. I just wanted to hear from others what they might think.</p>
<p>The difference - would you rather spend 4 years in Worcester or 4 years in NYC? Upon graduation, I think the Fordham "network" is stronger in NYC and the HC "network" has greater strength in Boston. So if you can think ahead: where do you want to settle after graduation?</p>
<p>Also, you may have a little adjustment in transferring. HC has that 4 courses@4 credits while Fordham has the more conventional 5 courses @ 3 credits each. You may lose some standing</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
