Overview of Franciscan University of Steubenville

I love Franciscan University because of the environment, classes, and opportunities I have once I graduate

I want to go to a Catholic college.

since almost everyone has the Faith in common, making friends should not be difficult. Also, since the campus is small the environment is one of a supportive family.

There are a large variety of people at Franciscan, as there are everywhere. This allows us as students to really search out ourselves in the differences around us. At Franciscan we are called to love everyone, with there similarities and differences, this mentality prepares us for the challenges of later life.

I love the environment here. the students are very friendly and welcoming, and though almost all are practicing Catholics, there is nonetheless a diversity in personalities. Of course, when you come, expect several theological discussions over a lunch table when meeting people. I personally enjoy a small college setting, so if you are looking for a large university, this is not the place for you. But if you feel most comfortable in a small to medium sized institution, you'll feel right at home. For a Catholic university, the rules (in my opinion) are actually reasonable. For example, there is no curfew, but during certain times (late at night due to sleeping and studying) quiet hours are in place. The biggest adjustment I had to make was to be prepared for the climate. Floridian native and snow does not mix, so some adaptation was needed for cold wet winters.
