bartholomew B St. Francis is a small university located in the heart of Joliet, Illinois. I started my academic journey at St. Francis as a transfer student in the Summer of 2024. The campus, while beautiful, is old and outdated. However, with what St. Francis lacks in its lackluster campus aesthetic, it makes up for in its grueling and up-to-date academics. I typically spend every waking hour attending class, studying, and completing assignments. If I need help, most of my professors are just an email or phone call away. There is always someone there to help you. I genuinely feel as though I learn something in every single class. Overall, I’m fairly happy with my experience.

Michael Jake (Jay) USF is a small private university located in the old theatre district of Joliet Il. I attend St. Francis as a graduate student working on my second masters and have found the classes to just as challenging as other universities. Like most graduate programs you teach yourself by reading, completing assignments/projects, and taking exams. USF’s best quality is that professors and staff care more about student outcomes than they do about their student head count. Its not a numbers game for them which extremely rare in higher ed. I am really glad that I chose to attend the University of St. Francis over other universities in Illinois.
