The small school provides a caring learning environment. We are not a number like many other colleges and universities. 90% of the students commute so it could be hard to find a good clique to hangout with. Once you get ingrained into your major you will find your life long buddies. The teachers at SFC are 70% amazing educators and 30% crazies. There are so many resources and people that will help you get to where you want to be. Whether it be a study abroad, an interview, help on an exam (from the professor), or job connections. Lastly, Saint Francis College has a beautiful diverse student body.

I transferred to SFC in 2016 because I wanted the small, personal experience. I should have transferred sooner!
St. Francis is an amazing college. The professors and staff members strive to help students attain their educational goals. The professors pour so much effort into lectures, which makes going to class worthwhile. I enjoy coming to class each and every day. I love how the classes are small because it gives the students and professors an opportunity to easily interact with one another. It's literally the small college of big dreams because my professors are constantly pushing me to work hard and focus on my career goals.
