<p>Thank you all again! I have re-read all the responses, especially all the very good reasons for direct entry. Thank you, Illinois Mom, Neonzeus, charlieschm and mwallenmd. I have also learned to navigate CC a little more, and have found a lot of your past posts - very informative.</p>
<p>We had a good tour today of York College. D walked around the nursing school, prior to the tour, and got some information. Nursing staff isn’t available during the summer, but they will reply to e-mails so that is good. We had an average tour guide, who was pretty quiet and it was a very quiet group, but D asked a lot of questions. Dorm room looked older but certainly in good condition and also a decent size. That is great news about the updating of these dorms, charlieschm. Didn’t see a bathroom, but I’ll assume they are fine :). Talked with kitchen managers about Celiac/gluten-free diet needs. We will have to go back for a nursing tour, but D definitely wants to apply. So, at this point, it looks like she will be applying to UDel, York, and probably Stevenson. We are touring University of Maryland tomorrow (just to keep it in our pocket - it’s still a 2+2) and West Virginia University on Wed. Not sure after that, but I know charlieschm had talked about some other PA direct entry programs in his past posts, so we’ll be looking into those as possibilities, too. Thank you all so much for your help!</p>
<p>Fendergirl, I will pm you as soon as I have enough posts - I am still a rookie here on CC! Would love to ask some questions.</p>
