Nice campus but they are a bit strict with the visiting rules. Lots of violence nearby in the Bronx. Parking costs like $2000 a semester

We went to the open house for Fordham Prep in the Bronx. It is located on University campus. The campus is amazing. The history and education at the prep school is well over 100 years old.The tour was very informative. The price is about 22,000 a year. The school offers financial aid and scholarships to the students. You have to take 2 exams to get in the school and have grades appropriate to warrant your acceptance. BTW the students say the French fries are awesomelol.

It's a nice place from the outside but didn't get to go inside. I asked the security guard if it's okay for me to bike around inside the campus, he just went NO, before I could even finish my sentence lmfao

Actually visited this university this summer. All around beautiful. The tour guides were really nice and active asking questions. Definitely going on one of my lists of schools I would like to attend as a college freshman.
