Culture surrounding Fordham University?

[thefreshprince_ny]

When Fordham University claims itself "The Jesuit University of New York," what does it mean, how (in what ways) does Fordham reflect this and what I'm I in store for if I do decide to attend Fordham University?

It's called "The Jesuit University of New York" because its religiously affiliated with the Jesuits. However, you don't have to be jesuit in order to go there, or even religious at all. You will be required to take certain core classes in some sort of theology though, but you can choose from a bunch of different courses on all different religions.
