University Reviews

This campus is pretty boring. The clubs are not the greatest. I am glad I commute since there is not much going on here and if there is stuff it's at an inconvenient time like during class times or very late. Expect to study on your own a lot here, the teachers teach but it is way over your head.

Saint Francis is a great school for Health or Business majors, with wide alumni networks and great opportunities. There is not much for other majors. SFU is a small school in a small town. There is not much around campus, but you can reach anything you could need with a short drive. Classes are small and professors will know you personally.

Saint Francis University focuses on their faculty being number one and students fall somewhere after that. I have been a student here for 3 years and have almost no respect left for this school. I am a commuter and the commuter parking situation is terrible. I would not suggest anyone commute here! To expensive for how you are treated.

SFU is in the middle of nowhere with nothing going on. The lunches here are okay compared to other schools this size, but still not the best. Social weekends are slim and hard to come by. If you're looking to stay in and study all the time, this is the school for you. The people here can be really nice sometimes.

I LOVE IT HERE! I FEEL LIKE IM AT HOME!

You get out what you put in; go to class and do your homework. Then you can have a good weekend. Sigma chi throws nice parties, and so do some of the other frats. If there's nothing going on IUP and UPJ are not too far away and they throw bangers. Professors really care about you and everyone wants you to succeed.

Beautiful campus, just not much to do in Loretto.

Saint Francis is home to me, and just like any college you will find one that fits you. Everyday I continue to be amazed by the great staff and students here. I recommend to anyone looking to get a great education.

I am a sophmore student at SFU. It is a nice college and they provide me with a good education. It can just be boring at times..

If you like small schools, this is the place to be. Professors care about you, you get to know your professors and classmates better, and it is a beautiful campus.

very well respected school. All together its a good school, beautiful campus. People for the most part are really friendly. However, there really is not much to do. Everyone leaves on the weekends, and if you stay you sort of have to make your own fun. The school is what you make of it. Get a good group of friends and you'll be fine.

Campus is very dead most of the week. The people make up for it though. Not a whole lot going on around town. Ever.

This was the first campus I visited, and I knew from the start I would end up here. There's something about a private campus in a small town that makes it so appealing... and beautiful! Friendly professors, good food, challenging work, and you can hear a pin drop most of the time. Dorms are a little small, and wifi is spotty, but it's not bad.

I made the right choice coming here. The small class sizes really allow me to excel in my majors. The campus is tranquil and conducive to study. I can't complain about anything, it's a great education for a good price.
