unwritten2 ~ Most people leaned conservative but like anywhere, there were a few die hards on both sides. There are active political groups on campus but if you aren’t interested, you can avoid it.

Students definitely support the sports teams. Women’s basketball traveled to Massachusetts for the D3 final four the past 2 years and Scranton fans took up more than their fair share of the stands. There is no football team but basketball has been the popular sport to attend.

D majored in Criminal Justice and Philosophy. She has had somewhat of a hard time finding a job but that’s probably because she knows what she does NOT what to go into, which limits her options. She has friends from other schools who are also having a hard time finding jobs.

The psych department has many connections to internships and potential employers in the city.

The school needs to be more selective. They are accepting more students than they can handle and housing is an issue for juniors and seniors (they give freshman and sophomores priority because they are required to live on campus).

P.S. (These statements are directly from D - she walked by as I was typing and I asked her to answer since she would know these better than I would!)
