The facility is wonderful. My daughter swims there the staff and the school very clean and very nice. Thank you to our wonderful staff in school read more

Horrible college. Does not keep students, especially women safe. They are more worried about keeping things "hush hush" and saving whatever good reputation they have left than right vs wrong. Administration is strangely quiet when presented with serious, unarguable facts that happen at THEIR school event. Awful things happened to me at the hands of St. Francis College, and I will continue to use my voice to warn others. Run far away. read more

I just couldn't resist and had to rate my alma mater. So if you are checking out / considering St Francis, you must know this is a small, commuter college in Brooklyn Heights. The biggest thing this place has going for it is it's size (only 2,500 students) and a community spirit. Yes.. that's right, the community spirit!!! Although a commuter school, St Francis is so welcoming to its students in particular, but to its alumni as well. The classes are small, and you get to know your professors, peers and staff really quickly. The quality of education is solid, and professors are usually very dedicated and knowledgeable folks, who love their subjects and the life in the classroom. For the price you end up paying, I believe this is a good barging and an excellent school. The only drawback is the fact that the school has no student housing on a larger scale. They try to borrow certain # of rooms from other local colleges that are in the dorm business. This makes it harder for out of state students, who would like to attend the school and have no relatives / friends in the NYC to put them up until they figure out their own housing setting. read more

I love this school. What better school can you ask for with amazing professors and tuition that is affordable. You get to know your professors personally. The classes are smaller, your not crammed in a classroom with someone brushing up next to you. I love how it is a small school and it does not take you forever to walk to the next class. All the staff are helpful and understanding. The down side is if you work full time there are not that many classes to offer at a reasonable time. So if you are applying and you do have that 9-5 job which is not flexible try to double think before coming here or take a lot of classes during intersessions at other schools. I LOVE THE SMALL COLLEGE OF BIG DREAMS!!! read more

If you are looking for a big campus experience, St. Francis College is not for you. The small student body (around 2,700) however, are better prepared for the future due to it's location in Downtown Brooklyn. Much like any school, St. Francis College is what you make of it. If you put the effort into the school, you will be successful and go far, if not, then you won't. As far as the facilities, there are plenty of areas the school could improve, including amenities in the student lounge, but the school includes Mac computers that have the entire Adobe Suite available, a TV Production room. Adding outlets into the classroom, however, could go a long way. Overall, I have had a positive experience at St. Francis College, especially with the employees of the school, most of which are alums who want to see both you (and the school) succeed. read more

My alma mater and I love it! I had a great 4 years at SFC. There really is a family spirit although it is a commuter school. Professors take the time to know you and everyone in the school is extremely helpful. I went back to work for SFC in the Office of Freshman Studies in 2005-2006. Great experience work there as well. Wonderful school for a great price! read more

I went to college here. It was nice to see all the changes here. The gym is nice and cleaner. The front of the school and student lounge is all different and they have a real kitchen. Didn't get a change to go upstairs but I am pretty pleased at all the changes. read more

It's a small college with tight knit community. From my personal experience, the staffs were very helpful and friendly. All you have to do just reach out! What I like the most was their prompt reply and their efforts on trying their level best to help you to succeed. read more

I started this college in September of this year and ended up dropping out. The admission advisor Romello Rogers is an idiot. I showed him my online Penn Foster high school transcript while I was registering for this college, he told me I was all good I can start my college classes. Right when I started the classes, Romello tells me that my high school transcript needed to be in an envelope while registering for classes. Romello was saying that the transcript shows that I didn't graduate high school. If I didn't graduate high school I wouldn't have received a transcript from Penn Foster. Romello wasn't making any sense. He didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Romello was so damn stupid, he waited until I already started classes to tell me that my high school transcript needed to be in an envelope. All that time he could've told me before. I wasn't going to order another transcript from Penn Foster because it's going to be the same transcript and would have been a waste of money. Romello got my on nerves, I wasn't going to waste my time arguing with him. That's why I dropped out of this college. read more

Facilities-only* review: Having attended sessions on five separate summer weekdays on the Saint Francis "campus" and exploring multiple floors, I'm pretty confident with my four-star assessment of this educational institution. It's right near Borough Hall & thus conveniently accessible from different subway stops. The building's old but not in disrepair, and they take visitors' ID at the entrance to the confusing but logically laid-out building. In the couple lunches we had catered in the cafeteria, you could tell it was a small, cozy community and a solid school that plays host to many events. While they couldn't really handle the volume when we all collided during the lunchtime rush, the staff was friendly and cooperative and the few students courteous. *Restrooms-plus. read more

Ok so I came here for my 1st V-day event last Saturday with friends. Why did I go to a College on a Saturday morning you ask?..... well because it was "Poney-con" Yup you read that right...... "Poney-con". Think of Comic-con but only for My Little Poney. No judgement. Had the best time with everyone! The Bro-nies (My Little Poney Fan Boys) were hilarious! Very into their cosplay and characters. We stayed there for a few hours and went to a few panels. I'd love to see where that event will be in a few years since there was a great deal of people. read more

I graduated from SFC in 2009 and I will be graduating again in December with my Masters in Accounting. SFC has been/is a wonderful experience. It is in a wonderful location in Downtown Brooklyn Area. Put in the effort and you will get the results. read more

Excellent school even in 1984. Great Professors and supportive staff. I am an Alumni Class of '84 and I still support the Library Fund. You need to check out this school if you planning on going to college. read more

St Francis College is an excellent school. I find the staff knowledgeable and friendly in every office. I usually get a human being when I call not a machine. If you leave a message, someone always calls you back. The professors are compassionate and thorough. They expect the students to excel, give them opportunity to do great work and my son has risen to these expectations. This small college (around 2,700) has been a fantastic experience for my son since he came from a moderate size high school (around 3,000). This past year with my son away at St Francis College, I feel at ease and I could not have asked for a better college experience for him. I highly recommend this school to any student. read more

For the past four years, I've organized an annual event held at the Callahan Center and Founders Auditorium of St. Francis College. The spaces are beautiful. Robert Oliva and his team are amazing! Very responsive and a great help to make your event a success. No complaints! read more

Ads on the subway claim this school is close to the A,C,F,2,3,4,5,N,R trains. Closest N train is almost a mile away at Barclay's Center/Atlantic Avenue. Maybe you guys should do your research before you put out incorrect ads like that. Proof that the people that run this school are idiots. read more

N train stops at Court Street according to the MTA, which is 1 1/2 blocks away from the campus.
