university of scranton印象

This school has a lot to offer. It is a nice mix of new and old. Its education is excellent in the Jesuit tradition but certainly not limited to Catholics, or Christians. The students, while sometimes "being students" (as most any college) are also encouraged by various outreaches in services and similar programs to be involved in local activities. The school tries to be a good neighbor while being a good school and seems to be achieving it..Its constantly improving facilities are a few short blocks from downtown Scranton ...not a shining city whose best days are both in the past and in the future, BUT one still nice enough to offer students "small city" off campus activities, dining, shopping, lodging for parents and other visitors, etc. Off campus housing, once a so-so area, is improving as investors buy/improve the old housing stock nearby. The school appears to be building dorms as part of its improvement strategy as well. Money does not seem to be an issue...there are some notable benefactors and a strong alumni...and tuition isn't cheap. It is convenient to major highways to NY, NJ, CT and of course the rest of PA for those seeking 'not to far' but 'not to close' schools. Many students also come from the Scranton area and commute.Education appears excellent and improving in many areas such as, but not limited to, bio sciences and medical related programs. (this can be explored in depth on the appropriate web sites and other sources). Sports are Division 3 (non athletic scholarship)... but generally serious and competitive in their class...and the school appears to offer a lot of inter-murals. It has modern, nice, athletic facilities for most and has plans to upgrade the few that are still a bit below par in 2013 (softball and baseball fields, notably, though the teams are competitive). There is no football team, interesting since the Scranton area and Pennsylvania are hotbeds for high school as well as college football.There is some occasional local criticism about tax loss to the city since the school is tax exempt and has subsumed some older residences and businesses which once payed city taxes. The school provides some payments "in lieu of taxes" to the city. It appears to regularly try to mitigate this issue with some success...and to generally be a good neighbor and occupant to Scranton. Most 'locals' realize the school is a huge asset to the city and area, and that the good far out-weighs the bad. "Da U' (as it has been fondly referred to locally for decades) is a school that is very good and getting better all the time.

Great lil college town...looks a lil depressing but campus life and ministry is all there and plentiful

I've been to several functions throughout the campus and the grounds are beautiful, the buildings are all unique and well maintained. It is a Diamond within Scanton.

Plenty of new construction has taken place over the last few years making things beautiful in the "college" part of town. The Rose Garden is a great spot in the summer if you're looking for some peace & quiet to read a book. But travel in to downtown if you're looking for the hustle & bustle.

U of S nice new bricks and mortar buildings. Kudos and Bravo to Lackawanna College for historical preservation and reimplementation of historically important and beautiful buildings. Marywood a nice graceful and peaceful setting for learning.

It's a safe college. Of campus housing is always fun for obvious reasons, and the police are always out, not to bust parties or arrest people, but instead to ensure that everyone is 100% safe and aware of what they are doing. I go to Scranton and have seen the cops do nothing but help people. I have never seen an angry response from a student-to-police conversation. If you're a new student, they'll help you around the city too! The school itself has many learning opportunities and friendly staff. The campus is newly renovated and looks beautiful. The dorms are also cute and convenient. I have nothing negative to say about this college or its environment!

The university has grown incredibly and continues to enjoy a good reputation, especially for graduate school placement. The campus is well maintained.

We were on a college visit for my son and I have to say what a wonderful school. The staff and students were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The school offers great programs especially business and health sciences. They have a state of the art Bloomberg business lab and are building a rehab center of the PT program. The dorms are well maintained and the new upper class building is like having a NYC apt. The core values of community and service were clearly evident. I great find!
