College students spend their summers in many different ways. Many students work hard at summer jobs. They realize it can be difficult to balance college classes and a job during the school year. Summer is a good time to save up some money. Restaurants, swimming pools, stores and other businesses are always looking for hardworking students. Some students get jobs in the field they hope to enter after college. The experience gives students a taste of the world outside of college. Other college students choose to take summer classes. Students usually do not take a full set of classes. Instead, they take just one or two. The extra classes can help students to get ahead in their studies. However, summers are not all work. Students spend time with friends, go to a movie or take a trip. A relaxing day under the summer sun will help students forget all about tests and studying.
