I loved the campus and vibe, and area the school is located in. However, I was planning on being a part of an athletic team, and while I liked my team visit, there were 2 other schools where I enjoyed the team more, so I won’t be applying to St. Josephs. If there were no athletics involved I would definitely be applying- I really did love it there! Good luck to you- I know you will love it!
@100lucky1 Where else is your daughter applying? My D liked Bucknell, similar size but middle of nowhere vs urban. She’s all over the place as Pitt is number 1, large urban and Villanova suburban are also on her list. Best of luck to your family, hopefully 2 in will help with financial aid.
@DrLisa best of luck in your college search, I’m sure you will find the right academic and athletic fit.
She’s also applying to Villanova 
but prefers the city-feel of SJU. She will also apply to Duquesne and several Virginia schools (JMU, Richmond, VT). My niece is at Bucknell and loves it! Good luck to you as well. In a few short months, this agonizing process will finally be over.
My daughter is a freshman and absolutely loves SJU. She has grown as a person and achieved a 4.0 while enjoying the college life. Highly recommend this school.
That’s so great to hear! @momofvet, does your daughter find that plenty of kids stay on-campus during the weekend? We are from VA so she won’t be coming home on the weekend.
