If youβre thinking about attending ΘνΓΓΙη, one of the first things we suggest is to visit campus. Thatβs because there is something special about seeing ΘνΓΓΙη in person.

Scattered among our state-of-the-art classroom buildings and historic halls are reminders of what makes the 271-acres of ΘνΓΓΙη a community β the amphitheater at Lipic Clock Tower Plaza where students gather on warm days, the chairs clustered around a fire pit at Fusz Hall on cool nights and the touch-football games on green spaces around campus that break out spring or fall.
Youβll feel our spirit in the cheers coming from Chaifetz Arena and in the ritual of Sunday Evening Student Mass. Run your hands down the same oak banisters brought to a gloss by generations of students before you and rub the bronze belly of the Billiken statue for good luck.
Someplace between posing for a picture in front of the campus gateways, testing out a hammock on the quad or hearing the St. Francis Xavier College Church bells toll, you realize youβre finally home.
