Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University

What are the popular events and traditions at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University?

Welcome Week, a Spring Crawfish Boil, and a Fall Festival are identified among FranU's campus events. They offer occasions to meet other students outside scheduled classes, which can be especially useful at an institution where students do not live in university housing.

Welcome Week is associated with the start of the academic year; the crawfish boil and fall festival provide seasonal gathering points. Event dates and activities can vary, so the current university calendar is the best guide to what is planned for a particular term. These events should not be confused with required program orientations or clinical training.

What are the student housing and dining options at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University?

FranU does not report college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. Students therefore need to arrange their own living situation and travel to campus, rather than applying for a university residence hall.

That distinction also matters when reading cost estimates: a housing-and-food allowance in a financial-aid budget is not a campus room or meal-plan charge. Students considering a rental should account for the lease term, utilities, parking, and the commute to both classes and potential clinical sites. They should confirm current on-campus food options and hours separately; access to food between classes should not be assumed to include a residential dining plan.
