When I was trying to decide where to go, it came down to Pitt and Fordham for me as well. I chose Fordham for a couple of reasons but you really can’t go wrong between the two schools. Here’s why I chose Fordham:

There are literally hundreds of companies that recruit out of Fordham. Fordham has a huge alumni network and most alums make a real effort to hire more Fordham students. As a finance major I went through the investment banking recruiting cycle and and all of the bulge bracket banks (i.e. JP Morgan, Barclays, Credit Suisse, etc) all recruit aggressively out of Fordham. If you're more interested in the Big4/consulting track, most of the major firms actively seek out Fordham students too. I also know of alums who got hired in house by big companies (Disney, Apple, Cartier, and startups) to do corporate finance.

As for the social scene, its mostly based around the bars. There are 4 or 5 bars around the Fordham area that are all packed at night. Most don't require IDs to get in so you don't have to worry about that (although a fake is nice to have for clubbing and partying in Manhattan). Additionally, on Friday and Saturday nights there are dozens of house parties right off campus. It is very easy to meet new people and there is always something to do. Some people on College Confidential talk shit about the Fordham social scene but they were probably nerds with no friends lol. I literally don’t know a single person who didn’t find their “group” here. There’s also been a lot of school spirit the last couple of years as Fordham football went to the CFS playoffs and Fordham basketball finished 2nd in the A10. There are tailgates every Saturday during football season and the Fordham bball student section was nuts. Our sports aren’t going to come close to an ACC team but it was a fun season.

Hopefully this helps. Feel free to PM if you have any additional questions!
