Hey everyone!
This past weekend, Scranton hosted it’s Royal Nights program and as always, it was a great success. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it’s a program in which accepted students are allowed to visit the school to spend the night and attend classes with their host. My sister, who is a senior in high school and very interested in coming to school here, stayed over with my roommate and I. Her and the other Royal Nighters were able to go to the movies Sunday night, stay over in a dorm with a University student, and attend classes on Monday. This is a great way for the visitors to get a feel of what it is like to actually be a student here at the U. I wish all the prospective students the best of luck in their college decision making!
My girl friends and I also enjoyed a wonderful day of shopping this weekend! The University has an ideal location within walking distance of the Steamtown Mall in downtown Scranton. Also located downtown is a Rite Aid, a movie theatre, and tons of great restaurants. Within 5 miles of the school is Dickson City, which is also home to tons of great restaurants, Viewmont Mall, and lots of other great stores. In my opinion, this makes Scranton an ideal school because there’s always things to do and places to go whenever you just want to get off campus and enjoy a day with friends.
Have a great week!
