The University of Scranton has been a fixture in its namesake city for well over a century, tracing its roots back to 1888. Enrolling around 6,000 students overall, U of S is highly regarded as one of the top regional universities in the North, earning particular recognition from U.S. News & World Report for being one of the best colleges for veterans and one of the best value schools. In addition to more traditional core curriculum and research opportunities, the university offers a program in Special Jesuit Liberal Arts, reflecting the school’s Catholic foundation.
The campus occupies a prime position in Downtown Scranton, just a couple of blocks from the Lackawanna County Courthouse Square at the center of the city. Living near the university puts you within walking distance of much of the city’s finest shopping, dining, nightlife, and entertainment, all set against a timeless historic backdrop. The popular Nay Aug Park is close by as well, providing a terrific venue for enjoying the outdoors without leaving town. Best of all, rental rates near U of S tend to be rather affordable, making it practical to live a walkable lifestyle in the heart of the city without breaking the bank.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
