35 College Campuses Where Hollywood Movies Were Secretly Filmed

33. Fordham University: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)

When Oliver Stone needed a credible yet cinematic setting for a scene involving a young, ambitious finance student in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Fordham’s Lincoln Center campus fit the bill. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, the campus offered sleek glass buildings and a distinctly urban vibe—perfect for portraying the next generation of Wall Street sharks. It captured the essence of upward mobility and ambition in New York, where the line between campus and corporate is razor thin. Fordham’s unique blend of Jesuit tradition and city grit made it the ideal launchpad for the film’s finance-driven plot.
