AudreyGrace Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 [size="4"]Hey phatmassers! I was wondering if any of you attend Franciscan University of Steubenville? I'm headed there next year and it'd be nice to get some feedback. Thanks![/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 They look like an awesome school! Better I think than Campion in Australia and Christendom in Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 No, just totally wish I could go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) I love the Catholic environment. I bet I could make some super-uber Catholic friends there. I'd die from being apart from loved ones. Edited December 30, 2010 by JoyfulLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyGrace Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 it's an amazing place. one of the very few truly Catholic universities out there. It's nine hours from where I live, so I'm sure I'll be homesick a little too =P But there's a perpetual adoration chaple.. replica of the Portiuncula. So I think I'll be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePenciledOne Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm a current student there! haha Not sure what sorta information you want....lol I'm a sophomore there currently though, so either reply or send me a message if you want some questions answered. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyGrace Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 ah nice! Mostly about the honors program... do you know anything about it? I'm trying to decide whether or not to apply... I heard it's ridiculously intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePenciledOne Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 well the honors program is intense. I have a few friends in there, and they read a lot of the classics etc. And most of them do a lot of work all the time, which is lame haha. I'm an English (writing concentration) and philosophy double major myself, so I wish I read all the classics as they do, but personally I'd recommend it.

IcePrincessKRS Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 [quote name='JoyfulLife' timestamp='1293672324' post='2195058'] They look like an awesome school! Better I think than Campion in Australia and Christendom in Virginia. [/quote] What do you mean by "better"? Having some experience with both FUS and Christendom I'd say they are both 100% orthodox, so the only thing I can think of that you would say is "better" is (for lack of a better word) the lifestyle on campus, which is kind of subjective... just curious as to what you meant. ETA: FUS does also provide more majors, so I can see why a lot of people would choose that school over other orthodox Catholic alternatives.

Brother Adam Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 There are a ton of people here associated with FUS. I graduated from their undergrad program and am finishing my MA through distance learning. You will do well at any Newman school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You could come to my Newman. Have to warn you that it's -30 outside right now. Not exactly a recruiting poster kind of day unless you like to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm double majoring in psychology and catechetics (youth ministry), so I'm not sure how much extra work I'd like to take on. After all, I could just read all the books anyways.. lol.

Honors would be manageable, I would think. : ) Just depends on your academic work ethic....mine isn't so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
