Hello, all! I hope everyone is finding a way to enjoy this cold weather we have finally found ourselves having. For those of you who may be new to this blog, my name is Kyle. I am a senior at Black Hills State University, majoring in Speech Communication with a minor in Military Science. The purpose of this blog if for you to be able to see a current student’s perspective on life at BHSU, and right now … life is REALLY busy. We have Final testing coming up next week, so all of the projects and papers that I was putting off are coming due this week. Where did the time go? I swear somebody stole a week from me somewhere.
Despite the busy nature of our lives right now it’s still a great time to come visit our campus. The library is packed with studying students, but there is still this fun atmosphere because we are almost done for the semester. Folks, when your semester is over, it is over. There are no assignments over break because your new classes haven’t even started yet. It’s an amazing feeling. The winter weather isn’t even that bad. It makes the drinks at the coffee shop taste that much better when there’s a little chill outside.
If you are considering visiting the campus, I recommend checking out one of our Preview Days. Preview Day is an event we host here on campus, where you have an opportunity to learn about BHSU by hearing from current students and faculty members. You will also hear a presentation from the Admissions and Financial Aid offices. We’ll feed you lunch at our fantastic dining facility and you will have the chance to speak with representatives from other offices and organizations on campus like the Residence Life Office, or the Athletic Department. The dates for these Preview Days are December 10th, Jan. 28th, Feb. 18th, and Mar. 18th. All these days are Fridays, but if you can’t get away from school or work, we do have a Saturday Preview Day on April 16th and it is the exact same program.
For those of you who have already visited our campus and have been won over by our charm and quality academic programs you can start applying at any time. If you were looking to join us here in the Spring, it isn’t too late. Just jump on our website and fill out the application, but make sure you pay the application fee otherwise it won’t get processed and it will take that much longer to get you accepted. Make sure you let your high school and any colleges you have attended know to send us an Official Transcript, and if you are under the age of 22, you should send a copy of your ACT scores too.
Once you have been accepted, the rest is really fun and really easy. For accepted students for the Spring, all you have to do is make an appointment with our Registration Officer, Johanna, by calling (605) 642-6044. After that, you’re in the clear. All you have to do next is enjoy your holiday season and show up in January. Don’t worry. I’ll be doing it too.
