Damaris - 01/30/2024

I love it however it is very expensive .

Mikenna - 11/13/2023

It is a very accepting and diverse environment. Students are encouraged and supported through every step of their education. There are many options for extracurriculars and making friends is so easy. There are many campus wide events that many students regularly attend. It is a fun and energetic campus.

Katrina - 05/01/2022

Having attended many other universities, whether it was full time or just a few random classes, I feel very confident in my statement that Saint Francis is the worst University around here. The staff is very unavailable and do not prioritize their student's education. The atmosphere around campus feels very much like it is students VS faculty rather than students and faculty working together for the best educational opportunities.

M - 05/27/2021

If you are a disabled student -- blind, deaf, spectrum disorder, mobility, etc. -- the University of Saint Francis is not for you. It is extremely difficult to get reasonable disability accommodations -- extended time for tests or assignments, adaptive equipment, tutors, anything. The Office of Reasonable Accommodations is under the control of Academic Affairs, not Student Affairs. Your ableist instructor decides what reasonable disability accommodations you will receive.

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

    During college I was able to experience being a collegiate athlete at a major division one university while being a student. My experiences taught me that time management, perserverance, dedication to a common and individual goals, and growing into your own skin are what made me the person I am. I became a Kansas Jayhawk and will forever remember the day I was able to walk down our gorgeous campinile hill alongside my closest friends and said "I did it!" As I venture out into the work force, I am able to share that Jayhawk mentality with other KU alumni across the country and can say that my college degree has set me above others based upon my determination to succeed. My undergraduate degree has encouraged me to follow my dreams of becoming a dentist, and I plan to pursue those dreams based upon the ground work that was laid while I attend the Univerity of Kansas. My college degree showed me that confidence is attained through hard work and dedication and I can hardly wait to become a dentist! and say "I did it...again!"
