Question: Do you attend Franciscan University at Steubenville?

If you attend Francsican University in Ohio, do you like it? I'm really considering going there, but I live in New York and I'm not sure if I want to go that far from home. Is it as good as they say it is?

This girl I knew from high school goes there. I haven't heard her brag about it when I talk to her...I seem to have more positive things to say about my state school than she does about hers. If you get it paid for, I would go there. If you have to take out a ton of loans, or pay it out of pocket, it's probably not worth it. It's not an AMAZING school. It's not a Duke, Harvard, Princeton, Vanderbilt. It's not ranked by US News Report (as far as I noticed...), but I guess if you want to go to a private religious university, it would be one of your better choices.
