Donald Trump attended Fordham University's Rose Hill campus in the Bronx for his freshman and sophomore years from 1964 to 1966 before choosing to transfer to the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania. Trump decided to leave Fordham because Wharton was widely regarded as the premier undergraduate business and real estate institution in the United States, offering an Ivy League pedigree and prestigious alumni network that aligned directly with his ambitions in large-scale real estate development. Trump later reflected in his memoir, "The Art of the Deal," that while he considered Fordham a fine institution, he wanted to test himself against the very best students and obtain the specialized real estate and business credentials that Wharton specifically provided.
