What is your IB Summer Analyst start date?

Seeing these "I quit my internship after 1 day" troll posts this past week has me curious as to when most banks bring on their interns. I thought it was customary to do it after MDW but it seems like some banks are starting earlier. I have a couple of friends starting as late as June 5 as well. It's kinda ridiculous to be thrown into your SA position 1 weekend after being out of school, given most interns need to move and figure out living arrangements.
