For two weeks this June, 271 students from around the state, as well as faculty, staff, and counselors will call Quartz Mountain home as they immerse themselves in the arts. Naturally, many students have had questions about just what to expect out of their living quarters while at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute, so we're here to answer that question!
Students are assigned housing based on age and gender, with housing assignments designed to encourage interaction between the different disciplines (in other words, if you are an orchestra student, you won't be housed with just other orchestra students.) All OSAI housing facilities are air-conditioned, offering students a break from the extreme Oklahoma summer heat! In fact, housing facilities as well as many of the classrooms are so air-conditioned that we encourage students to dress in layers in case they get chilly!
Housing for boys and girls is separate. Female counselors and female students are housed in the lodge rooms that sleep three to four students. Male counselors and male students are housed in cabins, bunkhouses, and duplexes that sleep six to sixteen students.
Housing letters went out a few days ago, so students should be receiving information about their housing assignments and check-in times this week. Our Facebook is already filling with posts from students with their room assignments, hoping to connect early with their roommates. If you'd like to see if any of your roommates have posted, check out our Facebook here. Check-in times should also be included with housing letters, but here they are again:
Orchestra: 1:00 p.m.
Photo, Drawing, and Film: 1:30 p.m.
Choral Music and Acting: 2:00 p.m.
Ballet, Modern Dance, and Creative Writing: 2:30 p.m.
There will be an orientation for all students at 3:30 p.m. If you know that you will be later than the beginning of the orientation for any reason, please call the office at (405) 605-7500 as soon as possible and ask to speak to Emily or Stephanie.
