I attended St. Francis College for 4.5 years and hated the experience from start to finish. Despite the fact that I switched my major, I would have graduated on time if I did not have to take a ridiculous amount of credits for Core classes (classes you have to take regardless of your major). Apparently, they are in the process of changing this. School spirit sucks so bad, little variety when it comes to extracurricular activities. The student body is not to blame for this, it's the people in charge. So many restrictions, little funding for clubs/activities, all they seem to care about is the Basketball team, which also suck. The only thing worthy of a compliment about my experience here is the location. Honestly, Devry is probably better than this place.

I couldn't be any happier with the choice I made for college. I was always scared I was making a mistake by not going away, but Saint Francis showed me that it is okay to stay home and be a commuter student. There is lots of help offered on campus, friendly enviroment, and financial help available too.

St. Francis College is a great school and it's in an awesome area. If you enjoy nyc brooklyn heights is a great area and the dorms make it affordable. There are so many activities and clubs offered and the school always gives you opportunities to get involved. The classes are great usually around 30 students and you can get to know the professor. Athletics is also a big part of SFC, there are always games to attend and tickets are free for students. Overall i have had an amazing experience so far.

ghazal

I think it is a small and safe school, focused on academics. This school values sports a lot and there are many sports teams to join. There is an endless amount of clubs to join, and there is something everybody would be interested in. The school also offers over 70 different majors, along with many minors. It is a good option to consider for those looking for a small, and focused school.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a highschool senior the advice I would give myself would be first take my SAT's and go straight to a four year college. I did not take my SAT's in highschool, Therefore, I went to a community college and obtained my assosciate's degree. After graduating highschool I took some time off and then decided to go to school. That was a big mistake. I would tell myself that a college degree is very important and not only does it open career paths but it's a self accomplishment. I would suggest to visit different college campuses and really think about what my major would be. I would tell myself that in order to have success in life its a must to attend college & obtain a degree. I would also emphasize on how school has to be my only one priority. The number one key to success in life is an educaton. The last little bit of advice I would give would be "Think of when you have your kids, you want them to say my mother is a professonal. She graduated from Saint Francis College!"

It makes you reflect that college is not easy and you have to work hard but in the end all that work is well worth it.

  7. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    the school is unique. it was started by franciscan brothers in 1859 and it took off ever since. this scool is affordable and the people are very friendly and they care about you compared to if you went to an Ivy league university that they don't even know your name. plus the classes are smaller so the professors can give you one on one attention so that you can do well. it also has a nice community feeling and the transportation is not far away.

  8. What kind of person should attend this school?

    Someone serious about college and willing to make oppurtunities happen for themselves. For example, I would like to study abroad. Since the school is smaller they dont have too many connections with study abroad programs so if I want to study at a particular institution I need to do the research and handle most of the communication. This is a school where you can grow up and become independant, I did in just a few months. I feel if you are attending school for the right reasons(education and growth) you will fit in well here.
