It's getting HOT in here!

Wow~ summer is DEFINITELY here! Temps today in Spearfish are in the upper 80s to low 90s. What a beautiful day! All of this sunshine is getting the admissions office excited about the summer events yet to come.

On July 9, we will hold our 4th New Student Registration session, with an option to come for either the 8:00 am morning session, or the 1:00 pm afternoon session. If you are a newly accepted student for the fall 2010 semester and have not yet signed up for classes, please register for one of these sessions today! You can do so at www.bhsu.edu/nsr or by calling the Office of Admissions at 605.642.6343.

We will also be holding Summer View on July 30th from roughly 8:30 am - 1:30 pm. At Summer View, you will have the opportunity to meet BHSU students, tour campus, talk to professors, and learn more about our academic programs, admission requirements, and financial aid. This is a great way to learn more about BHSU to help determine if it may be a good fit for you or not. To register for this event, please go to www.bhsu.edu/summerview, or call the Office of Admissions at the number listed above.

The Office of Admissions is also taking personal campus visit appointments daily, Monday through Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. If you would like to make a personal visit to campus to speak with an admissions representative, the financial aid office, and possibly a professor or athletic coach, please fill out the online form at www.bhsu.edu/visit or give us a call.

Sounds like a lot of fun, right! In between all of your summer activities, remember to take the opportunity to check out BHSU. That way, when school starts, you don't have to worry about it!

Have a great day!

  1. As the parent of a transfer student to BHSU I would like to say how much my son enjoys the school and the surrounding area, even the cold winter...Thank goodness he had spent a couple years at Kansas State though. Transfering from the hot hot and humid Arizona desert of the Phoenix metro area, we have this school to be an excellent choice for him to complete his degree in History. With smaller classes and more actual contact with professors instead of TA's is a joy he says. His advisor has also suggested that he "publish" before he applies to grad school, so that should be an interesting side bar to his course of study.

    As for cost, that was huge factor in deciding to attend school here instead of any of the three Arizona state universities. The cost difference is about $5000 per year including the cost of housing, plus the proximity of off campus housing is much better than expected.

    And his being a History major, the area is just teeming with historical locales, not to mention fantastic scenery, and SEASONS....not the three seasons we get in the desert southwest of hot, hotter, and hottest!

  2. Hi Michael,

    Thank you for the nice post. We are very excited that your son is enjoying his experience at Black Hills State Universtiy, and that you are happy with his decision to be here!
    Spectacular settings have a way of inspiring amazing opportunities, and when your surroundings have as much history, intrigue and majesty as the Black Hills of South Dakota …there’s no telling just how far your education will take you.

    Have a great rest of the summer. Hopefully it isn't TOO hot in AZ!
