I just graduated from U of S and it was the greatest four years of my life. There's something special about Scranton compared to other schools- such a sense of community and a desire to help others which I think is a rare find for a college campus. Here's my reviews for each category: Academics: I guess it depends on what you went here for. If you are going for the sciences or a health-related field, the U is an excellent choice. I will be completely honest, I was challenged and it was difficult at times as a chemistry major. The U has very tough science courses. However, the professors are caring individuals as well as being geniuses in their fields. If you are non-science, the U is still a good choice but you should look at the specifics of the program to make sure it is for you. I can only offer insight here as a science major. Social: The first two years were… well, lame. Most freshman and sophomore parties are in sketchy basements with one or two kegs. However, if you "have the connections" and know upperclassmen you can go to better parties. It depends on who you know. Once you turn 21, it is awesome here though! We have great bars here. The downtown bars include rooftop, outdoor bars to fun club-like ones. In addition, senior year the U really reaches out to the students and plans some really fun events for some "class bonding". Events like holiday formal at the downtown Hilton, Shamrockin' Eve, and senior week festivities which includes an overnight trip to a resort in the poconos. I was so pleased with every aspect of my social life here.Campus: The campus is absolutely beautiful! The buildings are all modern, which is rare for universities. Everything is clean… no trash, smells great, lots of gardens, etc. You get to know your way around campus easily and it really does become your "home away from home". Residence: The freshman residence halls are your typical dormitories. However, they are very close to the Denaples Center (where the dining hall is), class buildings, etc. So, freshman year you don't have to walk far to anything which is a great plus! The sophomore residence halls are very nice. I had Condron which could easily be mistaken for a 4 star hotel. The sophomore residence halls are a little further back from the central campus but still close. I lived off campus my junior/senior year so I can't give much insight into the on-campus apartments but I have had friends who lived in them and they said they are very nice.Diversity: People often complain that there isn't much diversity here; however, Scranton is one of the most accepting community I've ever stepped foot on. I always loved how LGBT people felt so comfortable here because everyone was accepting of them. It really is a great community!Overall: I really think you can't go wrong with this school… I met my best friends here and really grew as a person. I think Scranton turned me into a responsible, caring, knowledgeable adult. I often reflect and compare my freshman year self to my senior year self and admire how much I grew as a person. Choose Scranton- you will NOT regret it! |
