学生评价
- USF has a great academic system, and the courses, professors, curriculum, and the registration process all reflectst that.
- I chose to come to University of St.Francis because of the small school atmosphere. The professors are great and always willing to give extra help. They are always available by appointment for more help or just to advise. I actually like going to class because I feel more of a student rather than just a number like a bigger university.
- I'm in the Nursing College at the University of St.Francis and I've been very pleased with everything for this program. The workload is a lot but it is only preparing you for the real world. I have not gotten to the internship/ job opportunities but I've heard that the job placement is excellent. The curriculum is well taught and the facilities are very helpful.
- USF has a high quality education that is offered to the students. The professors are always available to help outside of the academic resources.
- Business Management Major – In being a business major, many people may say it's easy. But the truth is, it's not. Just like any other major, you start off taking easy classes , but in the end is where all the hard classes pile up. Also at my school my professor are very helpful with getting there student internships.*(4)
