Students who attend Summer at Sem are able to join us on a B1/B2 Visitor visa. Summer at Sem/Wyoming Seminary is only required to provide I-20s to students who will be matriculating to Wyoming Seminary for the fall term.

Students who live on campus enjoy making friends with peers from around the world. Our Creative Arts, and English Language Institute programs all share the same dormitories, creating an opportunity to share cultures, make new friends, and build a community of individuals who are interested in creating a strong residential community.

Students live in one of three dormitories on campus: Carpenter, Darte, or Swetland Hall. For more information, view our Residential Life section!

Most students share a double-occupancy room with one other roommate, however, we also have larger rooms that accommodate three students to a room. Students are roomed with members of the same program, and roommates are determined based on the best educational interest of our students. Roommate assignments will be reviewed by our Residential Life team upon request.

Weekends are busy at Summer at Sem! Our Creative Arts students enjoy performances with our visiting guest artists.
