At Fordham University, “New York is [your] campus” as the schools website says. With campuses throughout New York City, learners live and learn in the thick of an urban experience. The schools original Bronx campus, Rose Hill, is in walking distance to the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Gardens and Little Italy. Today, Fordham has two more campuses: Lincoln Center, which is close to Central Park, and Westchester campus, which is in West Harrison, N.Y. Freshmen do not have to live on campus, but any student who is promised housing upon admittance to the school is guaranteed a room for four consecutive years. learners can travel between campuses on the schools Ram Van, a burgundy shuttle that runs every half hour. The van makes enough trips, the school has calculated, that its covered a distance equivalent to traveling around the world 18.5 times a year. The Fordham Rams play in the NCAA Division I Atlantic 10 Conference. Fordham University, a Jesuit institution, does not have a Greek system.
Among Fordhams graduate programs is the highly ranked Fordham School of Law, which is home to the first Fashion Law Institute in the country.

A dozen graduate learners a year can live in log cabins on the biological field station to be closer to their research. Notable alumni include NBA sportscaster Mike Breen, former U.S. Rep. Robert Giaimo of Connecticut and former U.S. Postmaster General John E. Potter.
