Franciscan University of Steubenville — Attraction in Steubenville

This school of amazing. The teachers very well versed in a diversity of subjects, particularly Catholic history, doctrine, values, and philosophy. Ooohhh the classes I wanted to take got just could not due to time frame issues, finances, et cetera. Embracing living Catholic in actions, household groups, counselors, 24 hour a day access to Eucharistic adoration, chapels for prayer in every dormitory. Household groups met together, made plans of goals to work toward, celebrated The Lord's Day ever Saturday, retreats and activities. There were opportunities to a participate in the Mass, in the morning, noon and evening. Frequently scheduled Confessions, and, when needed, immediate access to the Sacrament of Reconciliation.There were celebrations for Easter that would last with praise for hours, almost till dawn. The monthly Festivals of Praise were so uplifting and rejuvenating. Friends, true friends for life. Good times, game nights, Domino's (and that other pizza delivery place. It might have been Four Star. Waiting in the lobby of the depth to see if the 30 minute rule was done it get free pizza.) (For those with cars and local knowledge Iggy's was the best. There was something the pepperoni flavor or anything that just made it better. Maybe it was that you orders by the slice then they were topped and final baked. I had it just a couple years ago, still greasy and delicious! I had to go to Toronto to get it, but definitely was worth it "Leap Night" (Quantum Leap) at Tommy Moore, games and conversations, hard times, always there for each other. Hugs, just God and the two of us. Mother Mary and our Angels and other patron saints were brought in as we prayed. God living in and through us in our daily activities of living, interactive with others. The best Catholic...

As a parent of a student there, I saw and watched our child experience complete disorder, disorganization, dishonesty many times from the staff, digusting living conditions including mold, mildew in the dorms, pollution from the coal plants, dead mice in the kitchen that nobody cleaned in months, unreliable internet, lice infestations, water mains, gas leaks continually breaking-no water, things are constantly broken and Households that require more than 40 plus hours a week that take precedence over homework that priests here in the Twin Cities have described as cult-like. One day we even received an email saying" I guess we arent going to do that"after our son received a four year, full tuition scholarship. Staff was very rude when I visited. I could go on and on...needless to say our son left after a year....
