Scranton has an excellent academic reputation. I think that it is the only best thing about the school; however, the social life is terrible. The only way you would feel as if you fit in is if you are an upper-class rich person who enjoys partying and getting drunk each weekend. It is also an extremely homogenous population-white, polish, irish, Catholic. I would transfer, but the only thing that is truly keeping me here is the great academic quality.

Scranton is a great school academically, however the real benefit is realized in the community and atmosphere present at the university. There exists a genuine desire to better oneself and help one another throughout the campus.

Most people say they like the UofS. Personally it wasn't the place for me. The academics are very good but the atmosphere just isn't. Students are generally friendly but there isn't much of warmth in the community. There's no sports teams which takes away from some community. Most people live off campus when they become upperclassmen which also takes away from the community. The campus setup is the worst I've ever seen with no boundaries and busy roads going through the campus. The housing situation is terrible also. I think Scranton is great school academically with good people, just some aspects of the school make it disappointing.

The University of Scranton was instrumental into my admission into medical school. It was also the best 4 years of my life. From the social life to academics to overall atmosphere, UofS was more than I could've asked for.
