Students arrive on campus early, move into the residence halls, earn 1 college credit, orient to campus and the community, and start making life-long memories.

"I liked the environment and knowing that I have a lot of resources to look for when I’m struggling or need help. I also enjoy doing things that I’ve never done before and being able to experience them for the first time." - Running Start Student
