Don't worry; I won't beat on you too badly! LOL! All kidding aside, Wilkes is a
great school. My brother-in-law graduated from Wilkes about two years ago with a degree in engineering and was hired immediately for a lucrative job with the Tobyhanna Army Depot. I have two friends there who are majoring in pharmacy, and they
love it there. The campus is also much more attractive than King's; it's located in the historic district, and you're within walking distance of all sorts of beautiful Victorian architecture, as well as the new movie theater, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, two night clubs, restaurants, a pool hall, and the upcoming River Walk project. The Dorothy Dickson Darte center on your campus has hosted such notables as Colin Powell, John Edwards, and Wilkes is now trying to woo Al Gore there to speak as well. In fact, if the reputation of the business program at King's wasn't better than that of Wilkes, your school would have been my top choice (there's too many "stuffy" types here at King's).
Since I now realize you're looking moreso just for an apartment in Wilkes-Barre, I'll give you some better links:

It may also be a good idea to simply drive up to the area for a day or weekend (depending on how far away you live) and just walk around in a half-mile radius or so of campus to jot down phone numbers you see on "For Rent" signs in the neighborhood.
Best of luck to you, and maybe I'll be bumping into you sometime (I'm down at Wilkes all the time visiting friends!)
