My Corner in Scranton!
Welcome to my sophomore dorm in Redington Hall! At the U, what we call University of Scranton, you have to live on campus your first two years, if you are a residential student. Freshman year, you have one roommate and a communal bathroom. Scranton is really good at ensuring there will be no triples in any rooms made for a double, there are rarely any triples. Some buildings are one sex, but those that are not are co-ed by floor, 1st floor all girls, second floor all boys, etc. There is no air conditioning in the freshman dorms, but you really don't need it for that long- it gets cold quickly. All sophomore housing is quad style, unless you have accommodations like me. Regularly, it would be two double rooms with a shared bathroom in between. There is air conditioning and you can control in your room and a maintenance worker who cleans your room/bathroom. Overall, I have had a pretty good residence experience here.Suite Sophomore Dorms
A look into a typical sophomore style dorm. Here is a look at my friends' quad. There are four of them two per room, who share a bathroom. They each have their own beds, desk, drawers, wardrobes, and shelves. There are three separate sophomore dorm buildings because all residential students need to live on campus their sophomore year. To find a roommate/quadmates, many students went through their friend groups or combined with mutual friends. Freshman year, many people find roommates through a Facebook group monitored by admissions. People make connections from there and meet their roommates. Others go random and end up finding their best friends.LSC Classroom
Here is a classroom in the science building. It holds about 50 people, but I have never had a class that had over 32 people. Classes are small and intimate and it is a aspect of the school that I love. Professors get to know you and really do find the time to take care of their students. The size and values of the school really attest to that. In the other science buildings, there are classrooms similar to this, but the older buildings have tables and chairs. This classroom is one of the comfy ones and every classroom, no matter the building, has a doc cam, projector, chalk board or white board.Meet Frankie, Rachael and Emma!
Meet my friends Frankie, Rachael and Emma, all occupational therapy majors. They talk all things Scranton; classes, student body, professors, the weather, what it means to go to a Jesuit University, and International Service Trips. To highlight what they say, Scranton holds its students to a high standard, following the Jesuit values. The student body and professors are very caring and look for the best in each other. Academically, the school is a little challenging both inside and outside of our major. Our school having a Jesuit affiliation means that we are required to take theology and philosophy classes. I can honestly say, though, that professors keep it very open and do NOT try to force religion onto, but educate you on it. Frankie, Rachael and Emma all went on International Service trips. They talk about their experiences in country, and the application process to qualify for the trip. They went to Belize and Ecuador, but there are also trips offered to Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and other countries in South America. These trips take part starting the day after finals of spring semester and vary in length between 5-7 days. Though they happen at the end of the year, it really is an active process starting second semester. There are multiple meetings with the groups along with other workshops to prepare the students for the trips. If you come to Scranton, definitely consider it!
