===Student housing===
The university has 13 traditional residences: ''Casey Hall'', ''Denis Edward Hall'', ''Driscoll Hall'', ''Fitch Hall'', ''Gannon Hall'', ''Giblin-Kelly Hall'', ''Lavis Hall'', ''McCormick Hall'', ''Hafey Hall'', ''Lynett Hall'', ''Martin Hall'', ''McCourt Hall'', ''Nevils Hall'', which provide housing for freshman students. These residence halls contain traditional double-rooms that share a community restroom on each floor. Most of these buildings were constructed in the 1960s, when the university was becoming a residential campus.

Sophomore students are offered suite-style housing, in which two double rooms share a shower and toilet, with each room having its own sink. There are three buildings, clustered together on the edge of the campus, which house sophomores: ''Condron Hall'' (2008), ''Redington Hall'', and ''Gavigan Hall''.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://digitalservices.scranton.edu/cdm/ref/collection/prpubs/id/81 |title=Dedication, Open House Held for Condron Hall |date=November 2008 |work=Scranton Record |publisher=University of Scranton Archives & Helen Gallagher McHugh Special Collections |access-date=31 October 2016}}</ref>

Junior and senior students are offered apartments and houses, which have more private options for residents. The university's apartment buildings include: ''Linden St. Apartments'', ''Madison Square'', ''Mulberry Plaza'', ''Montrone Hall'', and ''Pilarz Hall''. The university also owns a number of residential houses scattered throughout the campus and the historic Hill Section of the city which they use to house students depending on the need for additional housing, most of which were originally acquired during the 1970s and 1980s. These include: ''Blair House'', ''Fayette House'', ''Gonzaga House'', ''Herold House'', ''Liva House'', ''McGowan House'', ''Cambria House'', ''Monroe House'', ''Tioga House'', and ''Wayne House''. After sophomore year, students can also elect to live off-campus in the residential and historic Hill Section located adjacent to the university's campus.

Graduate students can either chose to rent houses in the Hill Section, or live in the university-owned ''Quincy Apartments'', located on the 500 block of Quincy Avenue which was just transformed from an abandoned high school into an early childhood learning center and University graduate housing in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.scranton.edu/news/articles/2015/11/quincy-apts-madison-blessing.shtml |title=Renovated School Blessed as University of Scranton's New Early Learning Center and Graduate Apartment Complex |date=19 November 2015 |website=The University of Scranton |publisher=University of Scranton Office of Public Relations |access-date=31 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.scranton.edu/studentlife/studentaffairs/residence-life/grad-housing.shtml |title=Graduate Student Housing |date=2016 |website=The University of Scranton |publisher=University of Scranton Office of Residence Life |access-date=31 October 2016}}</ref>

In 2018 The university renamed McCormick Hall MacKillop Hall and Hannan Hall Giblin-Kelly Hall.  The building named Timlin Hall within Mulberry Plazza had its name removed and Mulberry Plazza was renamed Romero Plazza.

These three buildings which were named after Bishops J. Carroll McCormick, Jerome D. Hannan, and James C. Timlin were renamed after a [[Grand jury investigation of Catholic Church sexual abuse in Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania grand jury]] report found these bishops ignored accusations of clergy sexual abuse. The university also rescinded honorary degrees bestowed on these three men.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.timesleader.com/news/715659/university-of-scranton-renaming-buildings-in-wake-of-scandal# |title=University of Scranton Renaming Buildings in Wake of Scandal |date=2018 |work=Times Leader |access-date=3 March 2021}}</ref>
