GETTING THE MOST OUT OF COLLEGE

The University of Scranton has invested in buildings, refurbishment, telecommunications networking, residence life staff expansion and related educational services. Why? Because all the national evidence shows that students who live on campus esidences get more out of their college years. 

As a Jesuit Institution, we focus on your needs as an individual.  Our Residence Life Program is designed to enhance learning and promote responsible living in a supportive community.
