<p>The most obnoxious part of Summer II is that it gets darn hot and humid in Philly about then. Dress light and carry a big water bottle. </p>

<p>Classes are technically the same as the regular academic year but obviously they double up the hours since there's only 6 weeks to work with. Some people think the instructors grade more easily during summer sessions but that has not been my experience. </p>

<p>Because the classes are "doubled up" I wouldn't take more than 2 in one of the half sessions. Personally, I'd avoid language classes and anything with a lab.</p>

<p>As always YMMV.</p>
