30 Questions I Have For The University Of Scranton

Asking the real questions- like why can't I get ice cream up until 11pm and when will I meet Steve Carrell?

30 Questions I Have For The University Of Scranton
Grace Dickson

1. Do you realize how hard it is to avoid the freshmen 15 with all of the great food on campus?

2. Can we please get rid of the rule that we can't wear tank tops to the gym? (Where else am I going to wear that expensive Scranton pinnie I bought?)

3. Can we please be allowed to have cars on campus starting our sophomore year?

4. Why is Reddington built so differently than all of the other buildings on campus?

5. Why Starbucks and not Dunkin Donuts on campus?

6. Can we have Dog Therapy Day (at least) twice a semester?


7. How many free shirts do you give out a year, and is the amount the reason why my tuition is so high?

8. Purple is an unusual color for a college, so what made that Scranton's color?

9. Who named Iggy the mascot? And why is that his name?

10. Why is there no ice cream at Late Night?

11. Why must everything on campus open so late on the weekends? (some of us early risers want to get our day started)

12. Why is intercession so long? (I really don't mind the long break, I'm just curious)

13. Is there any way ROTC could not practice right outside my window at 5:30 am? That is not my preference of alarm clocks.

14. Is there really a sauna and steam room in the locker rooms in the Byron center? And can I use them?

15. Why isn't there a way to reserve rooms in LSC like there is in the library?

16. Can we have a gallery that is strictly dedicated to the beautiful sunsets seen on campus?

17. Why are there no bus trips to places like Nay Aug Park or the malls?

18. Can there be a class about "The Office"? And maybe about the history of girls who have met their own Jim Halpert at Scranton?

19. How did the University of Scranton end up developing such a wonderful community? Where did they go right?

20. Why is there no Insomnia Cookies near campus?

21. Why don't you require all professors to post grades on D2L? (It would make a gal who gets stressed over grades very easily, very happy)

22. Why isn't there a more consistent attendance policy for when there is something like a death in the family? There should be a campus-wide policy and should not be left up to the professor.

23. Why don't you make University of Scranton textbooks more affordable for students? Making them more accessible to everyone.

24. Why the heck is the elevator in GLM and LSC so slow?

25. Why did we get rid of our football team?

26. Why is Scranton called Steamtown, USA, with a museum and all, but yet has no train station for people to use? (It would be an extremely helpful form of transportation for students to use)

27. How did you manage to find the nicest maintenance staff in the world?

28. How many Christmas trees are there in total on campus during the holiday season?

29. Why is first floor of the library always five degrees???

30. Do you think we could look into getting the cast of "The Office" to come visit campus?


The University of Scranton is the best home away from home I could have asked for, but I would greatly appreciate some answers to these questions (especially number 30).

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
