Current First-Year Student Housing Selection

General Information

All first-year residential students are required to live on campus during their sophomore year.  Each residential student will be provided access to the housing selection system in their housing portal.  Commuting students who wish to live on campus during 2027-2028 should contact the Office of Residence Life and Housing (res-life@scranton.edu) or Aaron (aaron.lichtenwalter@scranton.edu), the Assistant Director of Residence Life and Housing, as soon as possible.  Participating student groups of 4 will be provided selection times randomly and choose housing.
