Overview
A Typical Day in Pre-College
In Skidmore鈥檚 Pre-College Program, each day is really what you make of it. Events, activities and resources abound. Each student鈥檚 schedule will vary according to the courses taken, but here鈥檚 a typical student's day:
- Wake up in your dorm, your Skidmore summer home. Get ready for the day.
- Eat breakfast with your new friends at the Murray-Aikins Dining Hall, an all-you-can-eat dining facility with a wide range of choices, including vegetarian
and vegan options.
- You鈥檒l most likely have one class in the morning (Tisch Learning Center perhaps) and
another in the afternoon (maybe Palamountain Hall), although timing will vary according
to the courses you select.
- Need a break? The Burgess Caf茅 in the Case Student Center is open throughout the day for coffee and snacks and easy
access to computers. There鈥檚 also a convenient snack bar at the dining hall.
- Then it鈥檚 back to the D-hall, which Skidmore students rave about, for lunch with friends and classmates, maybe
even a little downtime.
- Should you have a bit of free time before your afternoon class, you might get a jump
on homework at Scribner Library or under a tree on sunny Case Green.
- When classes are finished for the day, unwind by working out at the , play tennis, relax by Haupt Pond, or visit a cool exhibit at the college鈥檚 unique .
- Grab dinner!
- Enjoy playing or watching an after-dinner pickup game of volleyball or Frisbee, or
take advantage of the many exciting on-campus concerts, lectures, films, and readings.
- Homework time! Expect to spend several hours each night completing homework assignments
(this is college, after all!).
- Sleep well鈥攖omorrow will be another busy day!
