Liana

The best thing is your social life because you will be depressed without it, and that will effect how well you do in school.

Kristina

The personal attention available to every student is the best thing about Scranton. Classrooms almost/possibly never exceed forty students, and therefore the professor is able to really get to know and give attention to every student outside the classroom if needed. The size also allows for every student to make last-minute appointments with advisors and other offices.

Morgan

I feel that the best thing about the University of Scranton is the community you feel the moment you step on campus, as a Jesuit University we are always looking out for our fellow brothers and sisters. By the end of your four years you will with out a doubt have two familes, one biological family that got you were you are on graduation day, and one larger Scranton Family that stood beside you for four years as you continued to grow and develop into the person you are. The second family is what makes the University so amazing.

Kelly

There is a friendly warm vibe on campus. Our school is the perfect size. You may not know everyone on campus, but you do see many familiar faces. Student run organizations are all over the place with activity and there is ALWAYS something going on on campus each week. Campus doesn't die on the weekends, it's actually quite lively. There is a lot to do here, and when you find you're friends, you become family.

The community at The University of Scranton is the first thing I noticed while visiting campus. I immediately felt welcomed and everyone was very willing to answer my questions. You could tell that everyone wanted to be here and legitimately loved the school. After atteding school here, I can honestly say that the Scranton's community is my favorite aspect. Scranton quickly becomes a second home, and everyone I have met a second family. I know the friendships I have developed will be lifelong.

The best thing about this school is the people. I rarely meet someone I do not like. Every student is so friendly and happy, even when the weather gets cold and dreary. The professors and staff are very friendly and very approchable. College is a hard transition from high school but with the right people and the right school, it is easy to fit right in and find a group of people you enjoy. The university made sure students fit rightin from the beginning. The college is a community, not just an academic institution.

My school has so many different things to do and opportunities to get involve. There is a club for everything you could imagine, and so many different kinds of sports you could play.

At Scranton, we have an incredible sense of community. We pride ourselves on this and it is really felt when you walk onto campus. Knowing that anything I do and anywhere I go on campus I will feel welcome makes me love Scranton.

Jessica

The best thing about the University is that the faculty and staff try to nurture the whole individual. It may seem trite but the U of Scranton does try to bring the community together and make each student feel welcome. Upperclassmen participate in activities that welcome freshman to their new environment which is great because these kids are scared to death (well at least some are) of leaving their homes, family, friends, and everything they've known. They're moving out of their comfort zone and the Scranton community definitely trys to be as hospitable as possible.

From the moment I participated in my freshman orientation I knew that I had made the right decision.
