East Stroudsburg is a fairly small borough in east-central Pennsylvania, roughly forty-five miles from Scranton and one hundred miles from Philadelphia. The borough is home to East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, whose 7,000 students make up a significant portion of the population.

The small but vibrant Downtown district off of Cortland Street features a lively assortment of popular bars, restaurants, specialty shops, and the historic Pocono Cinema and Cultural Center. The neighboring town of Stroudsburg is full of many more options for your free time, just minutes down the road.
