<p>Hey guys Ive got a questipn about summer session (i almost feel stupid asking this)</p>
<p>Is it a head start (U still have fall classes, buit you start early)
Or do you only take classes in the summer somehow?</p>
<p>You start in the summer and also do fall, so it is a head start. By taking some courses in the summer, your schedule for fall will be lighter.</p>
<p>ahh I took it the wrong way :P
I can call and have it changed to summer session cant I? (I would actually like to do SS)</p>
<p>If you have already submitted your app and they have not mailed out a decision, e-mail them telling them so and you should be fine.</p>
<p>This is what confused me
"If you have questions about summer or would like to change your University Park offer of admission from fall to summer, please send us an e-mail by clicking on the "Email Us" button on our Web site."
It said offer of admission from fall to summer so I started to think they meant to somehow just work during summer :P</p>
<p>The only difference is that you start in the summer summer and stay for fall as opposed to just starting in the fall. You'd be going to UP a few weeks after you graduate from HS (sorry, no summer vacation). I think, however, the good things about summer outweigh not having a summer vacation, but that's just me. Oh and, did I mention it gets very hot during the summer at UP and there's no air conditioning? (unless you have allergies...) :(</p>
<p>crap didnt know about no AC......Ill bring my own lol :P
I also think SS would outweigh a summer vacation (Its at UP and your meeting new people anyway, plus your getting a start on courses)
Z5sharp are you applying for SS?</p>
<p>I think I'd rather go on Vacation. Every year I go up to Canada for about 2 or 3 weeks. And quite frankly, I'd rather do that then go to College.</p>
<p>see Joey I dont really go on much vacation anyway :) however If i Can travel with you ill be happy to switch back to reg (or if anyone is willing to giev me a free trip for that matter)......lol :P</p>
<p>lol. I actually still might consider the LEAP program thing, if it doesn't fall into those 3 weeks of Vacation. Other than that, I'll probably have to get a Job and work over the summer.</p>
<p>Can you study abroad for your first summer session? then you could do both at the same time!</p>
<p>I believe I could probably Study quite a few broad's at Penn State's Fall session as well.</p>
<p>yeah How is the Study Broad Program at Penn State? I heard it great :)</p>
<p>So what is the difference between LEAP and SS? Are both 6 weeks long or just LEAP? Im currently planning on starting at UP in the Fall, but thought SS/Leap looked good since I was not so sure about the whole 40,000 students thing, but I don't really get the differences in terms of classes, housing, credit, cost, time, activities?? thaaanks</p>
