    2012-13 Edition First Impressions: Fordham University Educated Quest.com Background Introduction to Fordham 1 University Fordham University was originally founded as St. John’s Col- Background lege in 1841, the first Catholic institution of higher education in the Northeastern U.S. The college was renamed Fordham Uni- versity in 1907. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo- Saxon words “ford” and “ham,” meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement, according to the University’s history. The Uni- versity’s Bronx campus, also known as Rose Hill, is located in a neighborhood that was once known as Fordham Village. Ford- ham is one of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the U.S and one of 11 in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Fordham is also the only Jesuit college or university to have more than one fully functioning campus for undergraduate, graduate and pro- fessional students. It was also the first Jesuit university to be granted a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national academic honor society. Fordham has approximately 7,200 undergraduates. About 5,700 are enrolled on the main campus at Rose Hill; the remain- der are students at the Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan. Fordham students may take classes at either campus, although they must take 60 percent of their classes at the one where they are enrolled. Among Jesuit universities in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states only Boston College has more under- graduates than Fordham. Fordham has a larger undergraduate student population than Georgetown, Loyola University of Mary- 2 land and St.
