    Am learning a lot

    There is so much information I have learned so far and I am only a sophomore!
    Am enjoying being here

    Very much so. It's so easy to fit in here.
    Bang for the buck

    Almost everyone there gets some sort of financial aid, so it is very worth it.

    this university is great academically wise, because it pushes you to work hard. the classes are small, this gives an opportunity for students to gain more one-on-one with the professors. when a student is in need of help there are many ways for them to get help, there is a great help with tutoring offered.
    Tips for prospective students

    be prepared to work hard. small classes. ready to learn.
    Academic Rigor

    the grading system is a bit challenging but this makes you work even harder to getting great grades.
    Dorm Life

    I have made friends from Canada, New York, Rhode Island and from my home State Pennsylvania. I love it I don't want to go home. When we close for Breaks. We have so much fun.
    Tips for prospective students

    Going away to College seems scary but go to College with an open mind. Get Involved, attend Basketball, Volleyball and Soccer Games. We have so much attending Games. I have made friends because I got involved, Holy Family also cares about You. There is help for your classes if you need help. They always have things for you to do. It is a small school and that is what makes it so GREAT. Everyone knows each other and the Professors do care if You Don't attend Class. Being a small university I believe is the reason why everyone knows each other.
    Academic Rigor

    The marking is a lot harder than other universities. They have tough classes but there is help if you need it. I was on Second Track in High School and I was afraid to attend Holy Family because of their Grading System. But I am doing well I have a 3.3 GPA. At Holy Family you must take your finals even if you a 4.0 GPA, Where as the State Colleges in PA if you have a 3.5 or higher you do not have to take your Finals. I feel this is preparing me for the Real World by making me take my Finals no matter what my GPA is.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is AWESOME. They always have things for you to do. The Washers and Dryers are FREE. The Security is Strong you have Security Guards at the Front Door and MUST have your ID to get in the Dorms. I Feel Very SAFE. Being Safe is Very Important in any City.
    Food and Dining

    They have good food. The Dining Area is always Clean. They have different foods and you can request foods and they will listen to your requests.
    What to do for fun

    The City of Philadelphia is full of a lot of things to do.
    If you attend the sporting events they are always fun. They have a lot of different activities for everyone. They have trips. And of course there are always different Parties going on with
    Great for these types of students

    Holy Family is great for students who don't want to attend a Large University where there are sometimes 300 students in a class. HFU has smaller classes.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a lot of Activities and Clubs at HFU. You just have to find the one that is right for you.
    Campus Safety

    Safey is good. They always have Security Guards Visible. You can not get in to a Dorm Building if you do not have a pass. You must sign in at the desk with ID if you are a Visitor.
