            Students from several Scioto County high schools are living in the dorms and having classes at Shawnee State University from June 15 to July 19 to experience college life first hand.
            During the week, students live in the dorms at SSU and have a schedule of classes including computers, geometry, English, science, French and ceramic art. Students also have personal development and ACT preparation classes.
            Treva Williams, county director for the OSU Extension office was the guest educator on Wednesday, June 18 for a Wants and Needs program. In the class, students learned how to distinguish the difference in wants and needs when they go out on their own.
            Activities are planned every evening for the time they are on campus including movies, sports nights, open mic nights, dances, a scavenger hunt, euchre classes and tournaments, among other games.
            Also, during the week, students take trips to various sites including a Cincinnati Reds game, The Beach WaterPark, Ohio University and Earthship. Every weekend, the students go home and return on Monday.
