Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at University of Scranton.
The University of Scranton has a three-tier mandatory residential system that keeps students on campus for their first two years.
First-Year Housing (Required): All incoming freshmen are assigned to one of the first-year corridor residence halls — Casey, Denis Edward, Driscoll, Fitch, GLM, Giblin-Kelly, Hafey, Lynett, Martin, McCourt, or Nevils Hall. Rooms are furnished doubles with communal bathrooms. Air conditioning is not provided; students may bring fans. Approximately 78% of full-time freshmen live on campus.
