Scranton & DeSales University

A Day Out & About in Pennsylvania

Monday, September 22, 2025

 

 

Did you know that visiting a college is termed “demonstrated interest” by schools and is one of the admissions criteria used to determine an applicant’s acceptance? In fact, “demonstrated interest” is one piece of the admissions puzzle that can give a student up to a 40% chance of being admitted over other applicants.

 

Do you want a great Catholic higher education?  Join us as we visit The University of Scranton and DeSales University in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  See what these faith-based sites of higher education have to offer in this convenient day trip. 

 

In addition to this incredible experience, A-1 Tours offers an EXCLUSIVE partnership with University Seekers. University Seekers is a college preparatory service led by a local college admissions expert. With their guidance, they market your personal profile to your dream schools. They stay in touch with the admissions departments to ensure your application is highlighted, giving you a leg up on the competition.

 

The college admissions process is a tricky one to navigate. Give yourself the best opportunity to succeed by joining us on this one-day tour.

 

We’ll depart early morning for a full day in PA. Our first stop will be Scranton, PA This is a great place with plenty of things to do all year around. Hiking, history, concerts & sports to name a few. We will start off by touring Scranton University. You will get an overview and tour of the campus as well as a Q&A session followed by a visit to the Campus Store. After this, we will spend some time checking out the city center. This area is actually known for its phenomenal pizza. We’ll have a local guide showing you around, giving you the chance to get to know the city better and taking you to some of the best places on the pizza trail. If time allows, we may also check out some of Scranton’s coolest street art. There are a bunch of murals in the area giving you a great opportunity for some amazing pictures to share with friends, family, and of course on social media!  We will then depart for DeSales University where we do an afternoon tour, campus walk and a visit to the Campus Store! Upon completion, you will sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip back home.
