So the summer is upon us - time for some students to kick back, soak up the sun, chill with friends and relax; or for others to work a summer job (sometimes two) to start saving up some cash to make those tuition payments. Whatever you're doing this summer 2008 you're sure to be starting to plan out your year at MSVU. Here are a few handy tips of some final things to take care of before the fall arrives.
1. Plan Moving Day. Sort out living/travel arrangements - if you're living on campus, confirm your residence room with a deposit and start figuring out what you need to bring to decorate your space; if you're living off-campus get your move-in date set (try to avoid the Labour Day weekend if at all possible, it's the busiest moving day in the city!!); if you're living at home - figure out what busses you'll need to get to MSVU or when to get your parking pass.
2. Prepare for the First Week. Get signed up for a frosh kit (http://www.mountstudents.ca/) so you can skip the line-up on the first day; and plan to attend the orientation days that Student Affairs offers (www.msvu.ca/student_affairs/orientation2008/index08.asp ) to make sure you have everything in place for your first year at MSVU.
3. Socialize. Join facebook and become a Fan of MSVU and join the MSVU Class of 2012 group for incoming students - you can find out who will be in your class, who will be living in your residence, and all sorts of useful tips about MSVU before you even get to campus.
4. Register for classes. If you haven't done this yet - do it now!! The longer you wait, the fewer classes that will be available - and, trust me, the longer line-ups there will be if you plan to do it in person!! Get help choosing classes by emailing advising@msvu.ca or calling 457-6400, they can tell you everything you need to know.
Those of us still working away on campus over the summer love it this time of year as it's possibly the prettiest time of year with flowers and plants blooming all over the place, but it never feels quite right without the students. The students are the heart of MSVU and it's just not quite the same without you so we are probably looking forward to September just as much as you are!
