Like monks
Fransician: A member of an originally mendicant religious order founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209 and dedicated to the virtues of humility and poverty.
Dominican: Dominicans are called to be both contemplatives and apostles, and to balance prayer, study, silence and communal living with service to others and an engagement with the world.
It is for this reason that Dominicans live and pray together in religious houses called priories -- such as St. Thomas Aquinas Priory at Providence College -- and spend many years in study, but also why they teach and minister in colleges and universities, pastor people in parishes, and serve as missionaries throughout the world. But if the vocation is a complex one it is also a focused one. Indeed, the enduring motto of the Order and of Providence College is veritas, truth, and one of the truths at the heart of the Dominican vocation is the truth of sacramental grace.

If I remember right, they are two different orders of Roman Catholic monks.
