Thanks to all of you who voted in our recent poll, “What are your summer plans?” We’re back to bring you the results! Not surprisingly, it looks like the majority of voters (roughly 37%), plan to work this summer, while taking classes came in second at 24%. It’s awesome to see so many students making the most of their summers, but I’m glad 21% of students are also taking some time to relax.
It’s interesting to see that travel (11%) beats out getting an internship (7%), especially considering the growing importance of internships. In this economy, getting ahead through internships is a great alternative for those who can’t find jobs, though instead of money, you’d be getting college credit. This seems counterintuitive, but getting real world experience can helps students land jobs faster and may even open a lot of doors in the process.
To all of those students who plan on working, if by the fall you still come up short on tuition money, don’t forget, private loans are available year round to cover any additional expenses you may have! Just don’t forget to have fun this summer too, and take some time to relax; after all, college is stressful enough, paying for it shouldn’t have to be!
