The university here is great for studying! The campus is small and feels very safe. There are no dorms. The only thing missing is food and more social things on campus. Classes are small, and your teachers know who you are. They are always willing to help when you need it. I just hate that the price of tuition increases every semester at least 4%.

Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University is a very "get it done" school. It takes the phrase higher education to another level. The majority of students aren't fresh out of high school, rather they are serious, and committed adults, making career changes. The thing I appreciated the most about the school was that environment of hard work and excellence. it is also that same perfection that made the school lacking. College is a time to be serious but it is also a time for growth and in my experience, the institution did little to facilitate that growth. Most programs there seemed to be designed to weed out not nurture. And with little to no resources or places to reach out or learn, exceeding academically was a challenge.
Will you receive a quality education? yes
Will you be treated fairly and helped? yes
But you will also pay exorbitant prices, to be in an environment with little diversity or room to express yourself or learn anything of value for the real world.
The faculty and staff are amazing from the President of the (now) University to pre-advising students with transcripts or financial aid. The student life is fantastic for being a smaller institution hosting monthly events for students. Job placement is not a problem either as all of the programs have 85% - 100% (majority closer to the 100% mark as well) on national board pass rates as job placement (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure those statistics are correct). The campus is small, but very nice and easy to navigate as well.
