    I’m currently a student in nursing. I have completed my 1st semester of clinicals and I absolutely love this university. This is my first experience attending college and I’m only sad that my financial loans are already maxed out and I have 4 more semesters to finish. So I’m greatly distressed that all the hard work I’ve put in to this education may be lost and I will be nearly $60,000 in debt without my degree. I’m not certain how this has happened as I’ve followed all my advisors advice and took every required course they said I was required to take. Very expensive! Wishing I can graduate. 😓😓😓😳😳😳

    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.
