Campus Visits

Happy Friday to all! TGIF! I apologize for not blogging for over a week. I just got back last night from an amazing trip, traveling all over Western Nebraska and visiting with all kinds of awesome students at their high schools. Thank you to all the students who stopped by to visit with me. It was so nice meeting you all.

We will be hosting another Preview Day tomorrow, Saturday, November 7th in Meier Hall on the campus of BHSU. All of the staff are excited for tomorrow, and look forward to either seeing all your smiling faces again, or meeting you for the first time! Check in will begin in Meier Hall at 8:30 am. If you still want to sign up for Preview Day, you still have time! You can do so at www.bhsu.edu/visit or give us a call at 1-800-ALL-BHSU. Be prepared for a fun filled morning packed with important information about BHSU! You will even get to eat in our new Student Union dining room, "The Hive" for lunch. Let me tell you- it is A-Maz-ing. :)

The blog has been filled with a lot of talk about Preview Day visits, but we really haven't touched on visiting campus on an individual basis. This can be done! A lot of you have already completed an individual visit this past summer and this fall, and we are waiting for more of you to do the same! What happens during an individual visit you may ask? It can really be tailored to what you want it to be. The typical individual visit includes a tour of campus, a visit with an admissions counselor, a visit with a student financial services representative, possibly a visit with a faculty member in your area of interest, and if you are interested in playing athletics at BHSU, a possible visit with a member of the coaching staff.

We often get questions from students on whether it is better to attend a Preview Day or an individual visit. One is not better than the other! If you can, we even recommend you to attend both, but it is not required. Both experiences give you a look at campus, the faculty and staff, and the Spearfish area. I believe that in order to make a concrete decision on what college is the best fit for you, it is highly essential to visit campus and see for yourself if it is what you are looking for.

Sign up for a Preview Day or an Individual Campus Visit today! To sign up for a Preview Day, please visit www.bhsu.edu/visit. To sign up for an individual visit, please follow this link: http://www.bhsu.edu/Admissions/Visit/tabid/118/Default.aspx

We hope to see you on campus soon! Go Yellow Jackets!
