All registered students should print & read this before arrival: "This place rocked my socks off - and they were on pretty tight!" - PLE student evaluation Students always have great things to say about PLE. They love the instructors, they love the great learning environment, and they appreciate the good friends they make when they're here. PLE is a great place whether you are a resident or commuter. Commuters
Commuters should plan to arrive at the Sanctuary Lake (classroom) Site between 7-8am on the first day of class to purchase textbooks and pay lab fees. A brief orientation will be given at 9:00 am and then your session is underway!
Residents
Please try to arrive at the housing site on the evening before classes between 4 pm and 6 pm. At this time, you can meet some of the PLE staff, fill out some simple paperwork, and pay your room & board, textbook, and lab fees. After this, you can move your things into the men's or women's dorm. After settling into your room - and maybe meeting your new roommates - you can check out the lounge area where there are computers (DSL internet) and the newly renovated bathrooms. If you have your own computer, make sure you can connect to the high-speed wireless network that covers the housing site. After taking a walking tour of the lake-side housing site, you can stroll over to our air-conditioned dining hall for dinner at 6:00 pm. After dinner, you can mingle with your classmates, enjoy the lake-view, watch the eagles fly overhead, try to spot the herons, take a canoe ride, or explore the area. Weather permitting, we'll gather around the campfire later in the evening.
Continental breakfast is served from 7:30 am to 8:30 am in the dining hall Mondays through Fridays when classes are in session. During this time you also pack a lunch for the day; remember, field classes learn their biology in the field, not at the housing site! After breakfast, head out for the classroom site (at Sanctuary Lake) in the university vans (these are usually driven by the instructor or teaching assistant). A brief orientation will be given at 9:00 am and then your session is underway! Remember, if you have any problems, come over to the Administration building (left) at the Sanctuary Lake site. We have a friendly staff waiting to help! |
