Today is the first day of our summer session! We have our summer session students living in Sunvilla Tower and Kentwood Hall.
The summer session is completely different than any other semester we offer here at Missouri State. Why?

1). There are several terms during the summer. You can go for a 8-week session, a 4-week session or a 5-week session. This offers a great variety of schedules. In the 4- and 5-weeks sessions, you are in class for a longer period of time than you would a regular 16-week semester. This can be good and bad!

2). Less people. I haven’t heard the numbers for the summer session yet, but usually there will be only 5,000 or so students on-campus during the summer. This is much smaller than normal and it makes the “feel” of campus different.

3). Camps and Conferences are here! You may have stayed on-campus when you were younger attending a basketball or volleyball or computer camp here on campus. Well they are in full swing here already! We are expecting over 31,000 people staying with us this summer for a camp or conference! This makes things look different on-campus as we don’t usually have a lot of young kids on-campus.

There’s still plenty of time if you want to join us this summer! It’s a good time to get acclaimated to the campus!
