What are the popular events and traditions at University of Scranton?

The University of Scranton's recurring student events include Spring Fling, Senior Formal, and the President's Ball. They offer different kinds of gathering points during the academic year rather than a single event defining campus life.

Spring Fling is a student-focused seasonal celebration, while Senior Formal is directed toward students approaching graduation. The President's Ball is a larger social occasion. Scranton also has service-centered holiday programming, including Christmas on Campus. Event formats and eligibility can change, so a current campus calendar is the best guide to dates, tickets, and participation.

What are the student housing and dining options at University of Scranton?

The University of Scranton offers college-operated undergraduate housing, including coed residential options. Reported figures place about 59% of students on campus; the remainder includes commuters and students living elsewhere. Housing availability should not be confused with a guarantee of a preferred building or room type.

Students should review residence-hall and apartment-style options by year of study, along with application and assignment procedures. Dining choices and meal-plan rules can differ for residents and commuters. Reported first-year parking rules do not permit freshmen to register or park a car on campus, an important consideration for students planning regular trips home or off-campus work. Anyone seeking an exception should check the current parking policy before relying on a car.
