NEFL Center Students Visit
University Campus in Saint Leo, FL
On Saturday, March 7th the Northeast Florida Center visited Saint Leo, FL to see
where the University began. It was an early morning departure to make our 10 am
tour. On the tour we were able to see the Donald R. Tapia School of Business, Saint
Edwards Hall, Saint Francis Hall, Abby Church, Student Community Center, and visit
the Apartments 5-6 buildings, to name a few spots.
The students were able to get their pictures taken for Student Id Cards, shop at the
campus bookstore and have lunch in the University dining facility. One of the favorite stops was to see the massive fish tank featured on the show Tanked and see the
‘sleep pods’. Just because we aren’t in Saint Leo doesn’t mean we aren’t Saint Leo.
