What Students Are Saying

The food here is nothing special. There is some really delicious food (Cosi flatbread, caf cookies, the grille's buffalo chicken wrap), and some not so good food. But there are a lot of options available both off and on campus, especially with Arthur Ave.'s Little Italy right outside the gates.
Vanessa from Valencia, CA
The cafe offers Red Mango, and soups and sandwiches. These are meant to be supplemental to cooking in the apartment and eating out in the city. An $800 meal plan is mandatory freshman year for each semester.
Emma from Harmony, PA
The food isn't exactly the best but there have been major changes instated for this academic year.
Anelisa from North Miami Beach, FL
The main cafeteria is the biggest complaint on campus. That being said everything else about Fordham is great. There are many alternatives to the main cafeteria. There are three other places to eat on campus that offers cafe-styled food, i.e. paninis, heroes, and soups, and off campus is Arthur Avenue! However, the buffet styled cafeteria tends to be the main eatery, but it also tends to be a hit or miss. The food isn't great, but I would NEVER dismiss this school for that tiny detail.
Arianna
Every place can get repetitive, as does Fordham. However, there is plenty of diversity and off-campus food is arguably top 10 in the nation at the highly regarded Arthur Ave.
Constantine from Randolph, NJ
The food is decent. This coming semester they are adding a number of name brand restaurants to the campus that will accept dining dollars, so the dining situation at Fordham only looks to improve.
Jake from Ellenville, NY
Fordham University Rose Hill is located in the Bronx on Fordham Road with several food and dining options. Fast food, diners, you name it.
