It is a great school. I personally didnt know how good it was going to be, but it turned out amazing and I definitely recommend this college. Very safe, good food, amazing parties and very good education. They also have staff there including professors and admissions people who are very funny, nice and respectful.

Coming to the University of Scranton was THE LAST thing I wanted to do! its extremely close to my home, but making the decision to come here was THE best decision of my life! Everyone is so extremely friendly and always willing to help. Campus is filled with clubs that host different events and there is always something to do on campus and off.

If you are colored, you won't fit in, unless you act white. People are weird and if you want to party, get ready for white music. The food is trash and it repeats a lot of the time. Weather is terrible and nobody has any type of social life. If you're not from PA, NJ you won't meet people here.
Overall 1.7
The professors were extremely underwhelming for the price. I also purchased expired food before from the college. Dead center of Scranton it's kind of loud and busy you won't get by if you have something such as sensory issues. The social events are also very underwhelming.

I believe this school is good if your on a sports team or commute. If you live on campus it’s not that good. Not a lot of clubs unless there academic or religious, food is moldy or not cooked a lot and there’s nothing to do in the area.

Not the greatest school. I went to 3 schools and this one ranks at the bottom. Had a professor tell me I am a disappointment of a college student for missing a test. Oh, I also bought expired food here. I do not think I have had a single good professor here I have no clue where they are pulling these professors from.
