I personally think that the households are a very good system. Princeton actually encourages students to do something virtually identical. Are they "cliquey", well yes...COLLEGE IS cliquey. At all universities you hang out with people in your clubs, frat/sorority, or other social org. I met my wife at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at UCLA...because we were part of the same clique.

I am going to Franciscan to become a priest. I look forward very much to this aspect of the school.

haha i love the '70s pictures.

this is one of the schools i'm considering currently. it seems to me that, while other schools claim to be Catholic, it's really just like my so-called Catholic HS--a bubble from the outside world. i had rules out all Catholic colleges for the reason that i saw no reason to prolong my inevitable entry into "the real world." but it seems like at FUS, you get to spend 4 years learning how to be Catholic "in the real world" by actually being Catholic on a daily basis.

An MA from Franciscan is meaningless because the program is not really geared toward doing theology at the graduate level or training students in the skills needed to be competitive for placement in PhD programs. It's commonly known that even Dr. Hahn's son has recently opted to study for a terminal masters at Notre Dame instead of Franciscan because of this fact. The truth is, Franciscan professors think we are dumb for not doing the same, and at this point I can see whey they think so.

Hundred's of international students? Known world wide? Where are you getting that information? Because neither is true. Franciscan isn't even known well in the sate of Ohio, for theology or anything else. I knew the small student body pretty well, and there were a couple of people who came from the UK and some visiting priests from Africa...but nowhere near the international appeal that you are describing. It is NOT a top ten "catholic university", where are you getting that info as well?!

[VacantFilmer]

I find it hard to believe that you are having a tough time getting into a good grad school for your MA in theology BECAUSE of Franciscan. It should be the other way around. Franciscan is known WORLDWIDE for their excellence in Theology. Ever consider why Franciscan boasts of hundreds of international students that go to Franciscan just to get their Theology majors? Its because of their international fame. It is among the top ten catholic universities in the states, and possibly in the world

Just noticed I spelled University wrong, sorry.
