Saint Francis University is one of the oldest Catholic universities in the country, and the oldest celebrating Franciscan values. Our scenic campus sits on a mountain top in Loretto, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Faith, Generosity, respect, discovery, and joy are in our DNA, and we seek to attract students (like you) with a passion to shape the world.
Fuel your Mind
Success means discovering your talents and sharing them with others. Focused career preparation blended with a rich liberal arts tradition (where you explore many passions) can help you find your path.

Accommodation
Become a part of the Red Flash family. Dine in Torvian and walk to the Stokes Athletic Center to cheer on our nationally ranked volleyball team. Meet classmates in the Library and Learning Commons for a group study session. Embracing the community that you will call your home away from home is easy at Saint Francis University when you immerse yourself in daily life.
Proximity. One big benefit of our campus community is that everything is situated around a beautiful, walkable campus. No doubt you will enjoy the surroundings and the ability to quickly access faculty, places to dine, grab a cup of coffee or participate in a pickup game of ball.
Services. Living on campus means your residence facility becomes your home away from home. You will have everything you need in your residence hall. Laundry facilities are centrally located and by using the Laundry Alert app you can monitor your laundry via your personal device. With wireless internet across campus and printers centrally located, you’ll find you are connected anywhere and everywhere. Looking for a bite? If you feel like having a quick snack and don’t want to walk to Torvian, there are shared kitchen facilities in most residence space. And don’t forget the study lounge and hang-out space steps outside your door!
Transition to Independent Living. Part of the student development process is the move towards living away from your family. Living in a community teaches you a lot about yourself, how to communicate and what it means to cooperate with others. Having a roommate has many benefits including helping you to expand your social skills.
Boost your academic prowess. Join a late night cram session. Take advantage of the Writing Center in prepping to turn in your mid-term paper. Meet your Chemistry lab tutor for a cup of coffee – all within an easily walkable residential campus.
