“There is a culture of success at Saint Francis that makes it hard to fail in any aspect—academically or socially—because there are so many support systems in place. The faculty and staff will help you through any problems. You can succeed at anything you want here.”
Josh Pedretti ’22 Psychology
“My friends who go to larger universities only see their advisor when it’s time to schedule classes. I see my advisor all the time—not just for curriculum advising, but for career and life advice. It’s the same with the other professors: They know us by name. It’s really impressive.”
