Have read some mixed reviews on this site, and was curious what was everyone's opinion on this school and the job prospects

[Tiago Splitter]

Job prospects are very solid compared to schools ranked near it. The degree won't be portable, so you have to be comfortable staying in NYC.

[Aston2412]

Very much a NY school but it places much better in BigLaw than a number of schools ranked higher than it simply because of the NY connection. That said, if you top out at your class you can still go anywhere.

[Sounder89]

The consensus here seems to be it's a good REGIONAL school in NY and you have a shot at biglaw if you graduate in the top 1/4 of your class, if that's what you're interested in. Outside of that market it depends a lot more on being at the top of your class which is true for pretty much any top regional school.

Would the employment prospects warrant going there with a ten thousand scholly over a 30k offer from dozo and a 42 offer from bklyn

[robotclubmember]

yes, over the course of your life your career prospects from fordham will be good enough relative to bozo and brooklyn to justify attending despite less $$$
