Retreat to University

By Eleanor Long, Summer Sessions Student

Spring, summer, winter, fall; but summer I like the best of all. 

One of my favorite things about attending Trinity Western University is that after attending schools where my summer didn’t start until mid to late June, it now started at the end of April. Two months of summer instantly doubled!
But while I’ve enjoyed my extra long summers, I also know the benefit of taking extra courses over the summer. Last year while preparing to turn in my grad audit, I discovered I was six credits short. Not exactly a dire emergency, but there was some mild panic involved.

Summer courses were the obvious solution to my predicament. So in May I took two, two-week courses on campus. I earned my credits and was still able to enjoy the rest of my summer.

If being in the classroom during your summer isn’t your cup of tea, there are other options to explore, such as online courses and travel studies. If you’re looking for something closer to home, and still want meaningful learning integrated with face-to-face interaction, then look no further than TWU’s retreat courses.

Offered in May and September, retreat courses take place off campus in beautifully rustic and remote settings, where students can relax and have fun as they earn credits. The assigned pre-reading and post-assignments allow students and instructors to engage in uninterrupted discourse, creating a holistic learning environment. It is a different way to do education, and a potentially life changing experience.
