In three sentences
the pontifical college josephinum is the best school to attend if you are single, male, and catholic and thinking about becoming a priest. the pcj is holy, renaissance, and pontifical. the faculty, architecture, and curriculum is the best i have ever seen!
Tips for prospective students
pray about your possible vocation to the priesthood. our lord will lead you in the right direction. you will never know if you are being called to the priesthood or not unless you try.
Academic Rigor
it is academically tough, and passionately catholic.
Dorm Life
the best dorms in the college prospective. recently renovated. singles only. hardwood floors! lazyboy chair! new, beautiful beds! it is like staying in a 5 star hotel.
Food and Dining
meals here are served 3 times a day. there are always free soda, juice, and bread/bagels available. the food is literally, a home cooked meal every day. we have professional chefs cooking for us every day, ranging from simple tacos for lunch, to roasted chicken or pot roast for supper. amazing variety. new thing every day!
What to do for fun
pray, we have a pub in the basement of each of the dorms with a piano, ping pong table, big screen tv. chess, board games, sun-th 9-10 f-sat 9-11 beer is served along with food and soft drinks. there is a new cardio room with brand new equipment. a weight cage to lift weights. a huge, heated pool. a full sized basketball court. a bowling ally. all of these things, free of charge to the student.
Bang for the buck
this is the best school for theology/ philosophy. you get so much more here than what you normally do at a regular college
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
mass, morning prayer, evening prayer, spiritual fraternities every day. this is the most passionately catholic school i have ever been to.
Greek Life
no greek life available
Campus Safety
everyone has a personal id card that they have to swipe to get into any one of the buildings. all doors are locked to outsiders. it is a seminary, no crime!!!
