GETTING THE MOST OUT OF COLLEGE

The University of Scranton has invested in buildings, refurbishment, residence life staff expansion and related educational services. Why? Because national studies indicate that students housed on campus tend to graduate within four years, perform better academically, and generally connect better to campus life. And, these studies don't begin to address how you grow personally within our vibrant, dynamic communities.  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. 

IT'S WHO YOU KNOW!

Friends

Upperclass students can apply with a group of their friends to live together in designated residence halls, houses and apartments.
