No doubt I was fortunate that there wasn't a line as is the norm during the holiday season, but the service was friendly and surprisingly fast. The place looks exactly the same as it did when I was a child, so going in felt a bit like stepping into the past. I started this review in December of 2017 and have held out on finishing it as it is now June of 2018 and my package never arrived. I do not know where in the process of mailing and delivery things went wrong, but the last known location via tracking was Centennial, CO. Therefore, I will not place blame on the Weirton branch. I am still incredibly frustrated that my package was lost and the situation has in no way been resolved, but I will seek to solve the problem elsewhere in the chain of command and well beyond this location.

This school is authentically Catholic, not "Catholic in name only" like many colleges. The theology…read moredepartment is fantastic, with many well-known professors who teach here. I got a very good theology education here. Franciscan teaches Catholic truth without apology. The curriculum is grounded in names like Aquinas, not liberal theologians who interpret Catholic teaching as they see fit. Theologically they are on the conservative side - that's what makes them authentically Catholic. Most students are not only Catholic but are very serious about their faith. Many attend daily Mass (there are multiple daily Masses offered), adoration, you see students walking around campus praying the rosary, and quite a few discern a religious vocation. Franciscan is an escape from the craziness that the secular world has become these days. I took off one star for: - the town is very run down, small, with nothing to do. The campus is the only highlight. - the facilities at this school need to be updated, especially the HVAC system. Classrooms are often boiling hot even in January. - Masses are reverent (at least compared to an average parish) but could use more traditional music and more Latin. Guitars don't belong in the liturgy. Also, with so many priests living on campus, there is no excuse for their constant use of extraordinary ministers of communion.

This school is nothing but a cult. Everyone is very judgmental. The teachers here don't care about…read moretheir students and their education. You're better off at a different university such as Ohio State, Ohio University etc.. they most likely will have a better curriculum there than here.

This time we checked out an "Experience" from our local library, which allows free admission. This program is great, and allows you to visit Meadowcroft, plus the Heinz History Center, and the Fort Pitt Museum. In the morning, we explored the visitor center and the Native American Village. We liked throwing the Atlatl, which launches big, spear-like darts at a fake deer target to see if you can get them to stick. Afterwards, we left the site to go have lunch about 15 minutes away, and then did a short hike at Cross Creek Lake, where we saw a historic Truss Bridge from 1881. We came back to Meadowcroft, and climbed the steps to the Rock Shelter. We had seen this before, but we were able to experience some excavation work with the staff and scientists. We saw a recent discovery of a chipped flint that was 3,000 years old. Afterwards, we finished exploring the rest of the property. We liked throwing axes, playing double ball, and some other games. The old museum part was slightly disappointing, as it smelled heavily of mold, and I didn't want to stay in the buildings because of the smell. Neat old coaches and wagons in there, but I saw them before, so we were in and out quickly. Lastly, we did the Historic Covered Bridge (looks like it was re-done recently with new wood), the school, church, blacksmith shop and log cabin. All pretty cool to see. Overall, a nice day here at Meadowcroft ... Cheers!

The geologist at the rock shelter was very interesting. There was a guest from Toronto who drove up from Wheeling to visit Meadowcroft. The conference center is still under construction. The bathrooms are open. Lots of stalls that are roomy. The gift shop was a great starting and ending point.

Love the library! Books are my friend that I like to visit every day. They never let me down.read more
