St. Francis College Reviews
Honestly, I decided to attend St. Francis because it is so much more affordable than "any" four-year university in the NYC area when you account for scholarships and aid. The campus is open and there are a few in-person classes, and it is very quiet and desert. Hopefully, this will change when they almost fully re-open by Fall.
