The University of Saint Francis is a beautiful campus with a friendly enviornment. It is just the right size where you feel at home but also feel that you are receiving a genuine college experience. There are many opprotunities to join in extracurriculer acticities on campus to get to know people.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tips for prospective students is that you shouldn't rule out this college just because it is a Catholic college. Religion has never been forced on me and at times, it is barely even recognizable that the college is Catholic. Many different religion courses are offered so that one can lean much more about their religious afiliation of choice.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics at the University of Saint Francis are supurb. I always feel that i am being challenged but i rarely feel overwhelmed. The professors are all very good at reading their students and will adjust quiz, exam and homework to the speed necessary for all students. There are also many opprotunities to receive help from both students and professors so that here is never a chance to get left behind.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I do not live in the dorms however i have been to the dorms with friends and they are very clean. I have noticed that living in the dorms creates a family between the people living on each floor. Decorating of the dorms and other activities bring everyone together each week. This is a great way to make friends on campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food available at the University of Saint Francis is sort of overpriced and can be very repetative. The only popular food on campus is Subway which is always crowded. However the hours in which food can be received is excellent and the location of the University is very close to a mall with fast food and sit down resturaunts in the area.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
As stated above, the university is located near a mall, bank, many resturaunts, target, walmart, best buy, strabucks, barnes and noble, an IMAX movie theatre, and many other stores. There is always something to do in the dorms or on campus but on the occasion that there isn't the nearby mall is always a great place to go and relax before or after class.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although many colleges are high priced and you never seem to get a real bang for your buck, i feel that for the price i pay, Saint Francis give me a great education, and the resources necessary to gain a job after college.
