Say to the parent

"Fordham is a great choice for students who want a top-tier education in a vibrant urban environment. The Jesuit tradition means that students are not just learning in the classroom, but are also developing as individuals who are committed to making a difference in the world. The Gabelli School of Business is particularly strong, and the alumni network is a huge asset for students after graduation."

And the alumni network is a great resource for finding internships and jobs after graduation."
