Overview

The University of St. Francis is a private, Catholic university founded in 1920 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate (the "Joliet Franciscans"). USF's quaint, residential campus is located in Joliet, Illinois, just 35 miles southwest of Chicago. The main campus is situated in the historic Cathedral Area, and is connected to USF's St. Bonaventure and St. Clare campuses by a convenient shuttle service. Joliet is easily accessible by major interstates (I-55 & I-80), by rail, and by air through Chicago’s Midway and O’Hare Airports. USF also operates a small campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is home to the USF Physician Assistant program.

Mission Statement
As a Catholic university rooted in the liberal arts, we are a welcoming community of learners challenged by Franciscan values and charism, engaged in a continuous pursuit of knowledge, faith, wisdom, and justice, and ever mindful of a tradition that emphasizes reverence for creation, compassion and peacemaking. We strive for academic excellence in all programs, preparing women and men to contribute to the world through service and leadership.

Living on Campus
The residential living options at the University of St. Francis are varied and unique. There are three residence living areas with several different types of rooms. The residential experience is something students from Joliet, across the United States and across the globe are thrilled to be a part of.

Current resident Hannah McLaughlin shared, “Living on campus is great because being really close to everything you don’t have to worry about driving to practice or classes, you can wake up and be right at school. I have made some of my best friends living here.”

Benefits of Living on Campus
In our three residential living options there are full-time professional staff members on call to offer support when students need it. Every student also has a specific resident assistant and peer minister who lives near them to be a friend and role model.

USF residence life options have consistently been rated much higher than most on-campus options at universities across the country. Our past and present students tell us:

It’s easy to get involved and meet people. (Check out upcoming SAB events.)
