I have posted on the Scranton thread about my Daughter’s experience so far. So far, she seems very happy with what the school, nursing program, and Scranton have to offer.

We thought Scranton (location) might be dull, until we really researched what it has to offer. Lots of cultural events, music, arts, etc. Also has enough other recreational and sporting event type things to do in the surrounding area. Scranton itself has malls, movies, restaurants, and cafes. It also has an interesting historical past, and lots of interesting historical / architectural buildings. Our impression is that the school really makes an effort to offer non-alcoholic activities for the kids who don’t drink on Friday nights and weekends. They also offer enough other clubs (academic, intramural, and community service) that keeps them motivated and busy during the week. She has joined the concert band and frequents the gym as a stress reliever.

There are a lot of students from NY, NJ, and PA there.

D just called because she was excited about volunteering at a hospital that is .5 miles from her dorm in a nursing field that she hopes to pursue. Community service is required for first year nursing students.
