The immediate campus is safe… I really wouldnt worry about that…but the outskirts of the city felt unsafe, and its even more rundown then the central part of the city. The city consists primarily of a mall, a movie theatre and lots of mom and pop shops along with a few hotels. They are also very historic in the Lackawanna train run. Its a big train city (you even hear the trains on campus sometimes, the ones with the whistles). Take a look for yourself, its the only way you will know. I am one who likes to be in a diverse area with a nice and vibrant surrounding city or at least one I can relate to. (hey i was born in manhattan). Scranton is pretty proud of their Jesuit tradition so if you dont mind alot of Jesuit ideology in papers, speakers…etc…then you could like it. Also if your not from the area…it can get VERY cold, i went there in the winter and my car doors froze shut and it was sunny outside. My horn also changed pitch. It was weird lol.
