Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The classes can be challenging at times, but are very worth while and you will learn plenty. The science classes tend to be quite challenging but aren't too bad. The philosophy classes are quite interesting and make you think quite a lot about things that you probably have before. Overall, you will learn but won't kill yourself in the process.
Am enjoying being here Scranton is a fun place to be. We just opened a new student center last year, it is quite amazing. We have plenty of sports, intramural sports, and clubs to keep everyone happy. The city is booming with plenty of things to do. There is a mall a few blocks away from campus along with a movie theater. Downtown is about 2-3 blocks away. There is a park few blocks up for those outdoor people. Whatever the need is, you will find it at Scranton. There will and is always something to do.
Bang for the buck The University of Scranton utilizes the money you pay very well. They have a top notch tutoring center. It provides many other services also, such as help with computers, essays/papers, etc. They have a wellness center and volunteer office. We have a great gym and recreational area, along with an outside sand volleyball pit, soccer field, tennis courts, and basketball court. Also, they have a new business building and will soon begin construction of the new science building. These are just the few things I can list off the top of my head. Overall, the University of Scranton is well worth your money.
Tips for prospective students Just study at least a little bit every day, and you will learn the material plus save yourself time from cramming and pulling all-nighters a few days before tests/quizzes. Try to stay active on campus somehow, whether it is clubs or sports. Most importantly take it easy and enjoy your time here.
Great for these types of students The University of Scranton is great for all types of students.

Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot Freshmen year courses are specifically designed to ready you for your respective major.
Will enjoy being here A brand new student center + the city of Scranton + endless activities and clubs = total fun, when your not studying of course!
Bang for the buck It is a lot of money but if you have the grades they are very generous in their scholarships and in the end you will be paying for quality
Tips for prospective students When applying don't forgot to include every little thing you have done throughout high school, it will make a difference in the end, plus you will end up paying less money!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The classes that I have taken over the past two years here at The University of Scranton have taught me so much about my major. I have learned to apply myself as a leader and a team member throughout each and every class that I have taken. I have taken advantage of my professors' resources, office hours, and willingness to help. The university offers so many unique and different classes for everyone, and I even find myself disappointed that I cannot take them all. I have not only learned here at Scranton, but I have matured and developed as a person.
Am enjoying being here The friends that I have made at Scranton are friends that I will have for the rest of my life. Campus life is active and constantly ongoing. There is always something to do, and events on campus are limitless. The clubs and activities offered to the students are numerous, and I wish I had time to check them all out. There is never a dull moment here, and I love it.
Bang for the buck With the activities, events, classes, and academic support offered by the university, it is worth every penny. The tuition is pricey, but the school won't disappoint. They offer you so much for your money. The dorm life, the food, the class sizes, the office hours, and the endless events are more than enough reasons to attend here.
Tips for prospective students Use every opportunity you are given to your advantage. Work hard, but make sure you find time to enjoy yourself and to take part in the various and multiple events and activities that are offered each and every day. Don't be afraid to ask questions or seek help because everyone on campus is more than willing to lend a helping hand.
Great for these types of students Involved, active, leaders, team members, social, friendly, easy-going, happy, and religious.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot They have great teachers here, you really have to work hard not to learn a lot.
Am enjoying being here I absolutely love being at the University of Scranton. The atmosphere is amazing, you can tell the people here are different than those on other campuses. If you need someone, there will always e somewhere you can go to talk to another person, whether it's an RA, teacher, counselor or someone else.
Bang for the buck The University of Scranton, although very expensive, gives you a lot in return. Just like the saying, what you put in, is what you'll get out. You really do get a lot from the school.
Tips for prospective students Figure out how to manage your time as soon as possible.
Great for these types of students Anyone who wants a school to get a very good education in the sciences or math-type majors.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Scranton is great. It is homey and the people are friendly. The campus is warm and welcoming and it couldn't have been an easier transition from living at home to being on my own.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to keep on top of your work. Try to read over things before you go to class so you know whats going on and actually go to class.
Academic Rigor I'm a biochem major so there is a lot of work and studying to be done but it was expected.
Dorm Life I loved living in dorms. Everyones door was always open and there was always someone around to talk to!
Food and Dining The food was better than many other schools that I looked at. There are lots of options and the time is convenient
What to do for fun There are lots of options. There is a nearby movie theater along with bowling, the mall, lots of restaurants, and activities put on by the clubs. There are also typical college parties and several bars
Greek Life There is no greek life
Campus Safety there are always public safety officers driving around campus along with circling around the off campus area as well

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus every year there is a thing called parade day and it is a st. patricks day parade held the weekend before saint patricks day. all the streets get closed down and a lot of people attend, as well as the cast from the office. there are vendors and it is a lot of fun. there is also an italian festival every year on labor day weekend. great food!
Great for these types of students it's great for all kind of students. the university is very diverse and accpeting of everyone and anyone.
Clubs and Activities there are a lot of clubs and activities. at least twice a year there is a club fair and also fairs for voluenteer service. the university encourages the students to get involved.
Greek Life we do not have greek life, and i think that is great because it makes the school closer and a better community.
Campus Safety i always feel safe on campus, there is public safety everywhere as well as the safety emergency boxes. recently the police of scranton teamed up with the university for more safety on campus.
