Preview Day- April 16- THIS Saturday!

Hello to all. I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather that we have been getting because I know that I have- until today that is! This weather system is crazy! The weather is supposed to come around though, so everyone should come out to our Preview Day this Saturday April 16, 2011 as it will be our last one for this academic school year. I know for most it is hard making that tough decision on which college you should attend because it does change your life. Not too long ago I was in your shoes and the world just seemed to grow with all the different possibilities that you have out there. By attending a Preview Day you get to hear from the student’s perspective about campus along with the faculty and staff. Preview Day’s are a chance to explore and look at your options and it is the best way in my opinion. During the day of Preview Day you are very busy, but it is really fun. You start out by attending an Information Fair and this is a great thing because you get to talk to a lot of different people and learn so much about BHSU. There are several booths and it is a chance to make sure that BHSU is the University for you! After the information fair Beth Oaks, our Director of Admissions, will give the opening and then there will be an Academic Panel. This is where we have professors from the different colleges talk about what they do. This is always very interesting to listen to the professors side and maybe this will help you find a major if you have not chosen one yet. After the Academic Panel we have financial aid and they will do a presentation on filling out FAFSA and the different student loans possible. Then we will have a TOUR! This is always really fun because the tour guides are current students, like me, and they show you around campus and answer questions from the student’s perspective. This is really nice to get some one on one time with the students so ask the tour guides questions because that is what we are here for! Then we get to hear from the students again on the student panel. After that we have the Admissions portion left and they will talk about applying and scholarship opportunities. After the Admissions presentation we get to eat at the Hive, which is delicious and all you can eat! Then we will have optional residence hall tours. This is way awesome because you get to see where you want to live and the tour gives you a chance to actually picture yourself there. Also there will be a drawing for a $250.00 scholarship for someone that attends but you must be present to win!!! Preview Days are fun and exciting and this weekend is going to be gorgeous with the spring weather so it will even be better to come out and see the Black Hills and BHSU Campus!! My favorite part about Preview Day is that you get to talk to actual students who went through what you are going through and they help out so much and they will give you the honest truth . I hope to see everyone out on Saturday. It will be fun!!
