I went to summerscape as a gifted kid, which was Dury's summer camp thing for middle school kids to take college-style mini classes and stay in the dorms.

That was really fun and I was heartbroken that I couldn't go to DLA (the high school equivalent) due to money.

Overall their summer progrms gave me a very positive perception of the school.

I honestly wanted to apply to go there for real, but cost wise it was just too much and the programs were too limited. I ended up with nearly a full ride in scholarships to MSU instead.

For anyone looking in the future, almost no one at Drury pays full tution. Nearly every student gets robust scholarships outside or through the school.

Get good grades, save $1000/semester probably more.

I went to the summer programs as well! and quite a few I knew from it ended up going to Drury for college, it’s such a small university that campus feels like its own little bubble.

Yeah I think a quarter of the friends I made there (some of which I ended up talking to regularly, including my now-husband lolll) ended up going to Drury.

If nothing else, their youth programs are a fantastic advertisement 😂
