Believe it or not, field
trips do exist in college! And when you go to school in the best city in the
world (although I admit I am biased), the field trips and experiences outside
of the classroom can be amazing.
Being an English major, I've
visited sites such as The Wall Street Journal, The NY Times offices, and I've
attended numerous lectures hosted on Fordham's campus and in the city featuring
famous authors and prominent people in the advertising and journalism fields.

Art history class? Chances
are your professor will take you guys to The Met. Sports marketing class? How
does a Yankees game sound? Whatever subject or field you plan on going into, I
promise that the city can and will be used for your benefit.
Today, my journalism
workshop class got a private tour of The Wall Street Journal, which was
AWESOME! We toured all of the offices and different departments and had an in
depth talk with a Fordham grad who works as a writer for WSJ. He gave us tips
and tricks for after graduation and told us if we ever needed help or advice to
feel free to contact him. The alumni network at Fordham is so strong, and he
was super helpful!

No matter what field you're
going into, the city is a great resource that you'll learn to take advantage
of. As Father McShane, Fordham University President exclaims, major in what you
want to major in and minor in New York!
