The University of Scranton — Attraction in Scranton

Price is what you pay, value is what you get. I can't speak to the value of the on-site programs, but the value of the online programs is quite disappointing and does not align with the institution's accreditation status. I've only added 1 star because I've had a very select few instructors that were actually attentive and genuinely cared to assist students.

So, let me summarize what you get with an online education here.

You're essentially directed to buy an overpriced textbook (which sometimes is marked up at a premium at the school versus the actual publishing firm...interesting), directed to engage with peers in a forum without any interaction from instructors where most simply recite the text almost verbatim, given a "lecture" which is most often a file of paraphrased content derived directly from the text lacking meaningful context to help students grasp the content, and then left to your own devices to complete assignments which can be tough when covering complex concepts and being provided resources with contradictory content.

Making it worse they force Freshman students to have a Food Plan (making YOU pay for it!) which may be good in the parents eyes but for anyone commuting locally they Don't Need those costs and should spend at Small Businesses nearby the campus, and don't forget Dorming Costs rising in the tens of thousands of dollars on/off campus not to mention unaffordable high tuition fees if not covered for. High End College? More like a High End Problem,...

Do not go here. The price is outrageous even for the food (plan $10-14/meal). The professors are bad at teaching and disrespectful. One told me I am a failure of a college student because I passed out when an exam was happening. They also wont take many credits if you transfer. Additionally, I purchased expired food products. Just go to a...
