FDU is the most ghetto, unhappy place in the universe

I attended FDU from 2002 through 2005 and it was the exact opposite of everything I had ever wanted or envisioned from my college experience. Not many of FDU's professors have a mastery of the English language and those who have, are not very bright. I cannot recall a single undergraduate professor I studied under whose work had been published, with the exception of one English professor who was exceptional - Dr. Lois Gordon. As a business major, she made me want to switch to English to study literature. (Thankfully the part of my brain that does math quickly concluded that an English degree and $.25 would buy me a pack of gum). Aside from the lacking professional staff, the student body at the Metropolitan campus seemed to be comprised mainly of Harlem high school rejects. There was an on-campus stabbing at a school-sponsored "Bring ya Clique" event where off-campus youth could come and 'party' with current students. Apparently the pat-downs were not thorough enough and violence was a fairly common occurence. The public safety officers are more concerned with ticketing current students double-parked in an empty lot than ensuring actual safety of the student body. I completed a degree in three years at FDU, which speaks more for my academic accomplishments than any single person that I studied under at the college. I would not recommend this institution to anyone.
