The best thing at our school is the sense of community you feel inside and outside of the classroom, and all of the service opportunities you can take part in. The food is also very good!

The University of Scranton is best known for its reputation as an outstanding institute of higher learning, especially when it comes to the sciences. It is a Jesuit University and holds its students to high standards when it comes to acedemic achievement, and personal growth and development.

Jennifer

My school is best known for sudents to receive excellent careers upon graduation due to the links of alumni.

Jessica

Unfortunately, I feel that The University of Scranton is best known for its constant battle with alcohol abuse. Many students from surrounding states and counties prioritize our University for its alcohol association. I have witnessed the administration strive to impede this problem numerous times in only my first semester on campus; however, I feel that their attempts have failed and will continue to fail if they neglect to offer alternative options for students. I am afraid that if changes aren?t made quickly enough our University will be most known for something even worse.

Allison

The university of Scranton is best known for being Jesuit in identity, the amount of community service its students perform, and the fact that The Office takes place near it.

Joshua

I would have to say our Jesuit ideals. We are a small Jesuit school in Scranton, Pa. I think are morals of helping everyone and making a change in the world would be what we are best known for!

Natalie

My school is best known for excelling in the medical professions, such as Occupational Therapy. I am currently in that major and love the program. 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the program's students do well on the national board exams and are placed into jobs relatively quickly. The programs for Nursing and Physical Therapy are equally as good, with success rates at about the same. The school's Pre-Med and other science fields are also well-known, and the school is currently working on constructing a new and updated science building to accomodate these majors.

Chris

The University of Scranton is probably best known for the people who are a part of it. I've been there since August and figured that since it was many kids' first times away from home living with people their own age, tensions would flare up and people would be less than friendly. To my surprise, I've yet to meet one student, faculty, or staff member who hasn't been helpful or made my transition away from home simple.

The University of Scranton is best known for combining the Jesuit tradition of being one for others with strong academics. Scranton has very strong academic accrediation, especially in education, pre-medical, and business majors. Scranton has a great community outreach program and great academics. Also at Scranton, students aren't numbers. Professors acknowledge you by name inside and outside of class. This helps create the sense of community Scranton offers its students. These were a few of the reasons I chose Scranton.
