It can be overwhelming,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cAnd you may miss opportunities or information that are important to your college decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But for students visiting during an Open House, it\u2019s necessary to imagine the University as their future home, rather than as a place where they will pursue a degree. By creating additional opportunities for visitors to immerse themselves in the campus culture, such as attending Mass, sharing a meal in the DeNaples Center and participating in other special programming, prospective students can be a part of what makes Scranton so unique, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese experiences help students envision themselves as members of our community and better understand the values, traditions, and sense of belonging that are central to a Scranton education,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cUltimately, Open House helps students move beyond learning about the University to actually experiencing what makes Scranton such a special place to live, learn and grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interested in Attending?<\/p>\n<p>Find more information or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.scranton.edu\/visit\/open-house-register.shtml\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">register for Open House<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Choosing a school is a weighty decision, and attending an Open House provides students with opportunities to connect&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[5232,124308,5233,5231,178,180,179,274],"class_list":["post-302078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-admissions","tag-campus-tour","tag-campus-visit","tag-open-house","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-the-university-of-scranton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
