  6. How it compares

    With 2,515 universities in the United States, Saint Leo University sits in a very large higher-education market. Its main distinguishing points are its location in Florida and its ties to Catholic and Benedictine institutions, so it may suit students looking for that setting rather than a university in a different religious or regional context.
