I've been realizing recently just how amazingly diverse this campus is.
I know a lot of people think of Franciscan as the charismatic school, but there's really a lot for everyone. Just in the last month, I've attended the Novus Ordo Mass in English and Spanish, a Tridentine Mass, and a Byzantine Divine Liturgy. I've been to two different kinds of chanted liturgy of the hours, and a FOP. Tomorrow morning, I'll be going to Pittsburgh with some friends for another Tridentine Mass, and in the evening, there's a classical Chorale Concert.
Really, attending this school is a great way to learn about yourself on so many levels. It takes experience and experimentation to find your own personal balance of liturgical preferences, and this is just the place to figure it out.

What is FOP? I'm assuming that it has nothing to do with the Fraternal Order of Police...could it be Friends of the Pope?
Here's the dictionary post from some months back.
Watch out; there are some who think that to think of it as "preferences" is antithetical to wanting to give God the best. Just a friendly warning. (I don't know that any of the traddies at this school are likely to complain, but this is the internet after all.)
Why should I care?
None of them read this blog, and even if they did, I'm not here to make them happy.
Liturgy is all about our relationship with God. And, believe it or not, we are different! Your "traddies" can get over it.
~Thank you. :)
They're not _my_ traddies. 8^)
