Tour Fordham University's Stunning Campus In The Bronx
This summer, we called Columbia University "The Most Beautiful College Campus In New York City," sparking a firestorm as to whether the Ivy League school or Fordham had the more scenic digs.
So, we decided to take a ride up to the Bronx to see if we could come to a conclusion as to which school's campus reigned supreme. As we did at Columbia, we attended an information session and a campus tour.
And while it may seem a cop out to say they're too different to compare, it's the truth. Columbia has a classical Greek-inspired beauty, while Fordham is perhaps the embodiment of the traditional collegiate Gothic aesthetic.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is a Jesuit university and was the first Catholic college in the Northeast. Since then, the school has grown into an academic institution with 15,000 students and a separate campus near Lincoln Center in Manhattan.
The campus harnesses the best qualities of Northeast collegiate culture and Jesuit tradition, with green quads and Gothic buildings sharing space with one of the most gorgeous churches anywhere in the city.
The Metro-North train out of New York City's Grand Central Station took us right to Fordham's door. Fordham is located in the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx. These shops were set up on a plaza right outside the Metro-North station, across the street from the school. The entrance across from the Metro-North station immediately opens up into Fordham's spacious campus. See the rest of the story at Business InsiderTEMECULA: Greek Festival set for Oct. 19

French finance minister: French, European economies are moving slowly out of recession
WASHINGTON (AP) — French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici says his economy is on the move and so are other economies in Europe.
He said Friday this motion is slow and not always visible. He said European countries were emerging from the depths of recession and should be more vigorous in adopting policies that promote growth.
Moscovici contrasted the current improved situation with a year ago when there was doubt the euro would survive and whether Greece would leave the 17-nation currency zone.
He is in Washington for the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. He would not say anything about the U.S. debt standoff, certain to be a major topic at these sessions.
