Semester FAQs
|
| |
| Will it cost more to attend a semester at RFS? |
| No! You pay regular tuition, plus any normal course fees. The only difference from being on campus is that you only have one choice for a meal plan. |
| |
| How does the combined semester with St. Francis work? |
| You will register through your own institution for all four courses, and pay your regular tuition - no need to transfer credits! Two courses will be taught by St. Francis faculty, and two by Juniata faculty. Seven of the students attending will be from Juniata, and seven from St. Francis. |
| |
| What is the meal plan? |
| You sign up for the plan 5, which includes hot lunches and dinners five days a week cooked by your own RFS chef. Breakfast is provided a la carte, and weekend meals are on your own. |
| |
| What are the residental life policies? |
| Essentially the same as on campus, with a few additional policies. Full orientation will take place the first week of classes. |
| |
| What can I do for fun at the station? |
| There's lots of things to do! Canoeing, hiking, campfires and other outside activities, as well as wireless internet and cable TV. You are also welcome to have a car and travel away from RFS when you are not in classes or activities at the station. Unfortunately, classes are on a block schedule and it is not possible to participate in athletics, musical groups and other high commitment organizations. |
| |
| Are classes my only obligation? |
| No. Semesters at the station are immersion learning experiences, and you will live and learn sustainably! You will be responsible for keeping all the facilities clean from your own usage, composting your food waste, and participating in service projects for the RFS. |
