<p>Hey all. I'm curious about what college kids do in the summer, especially if they went to a college far from their hometown. Do you hang out with your high school friends again? The summer after freshman year in college sounds like a no-man's land.</p>
<p>And for those of you that didn't exactly have the most happenin fun times in HS, and won't be hanging out all summer w/ your old HS friends, what did you do? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>work while staying at home, take classes, etc...some people move into off-campus housing after freshman or sophomore year so they have somewhere to stay over summers to work and take classes</p>
<p>i'm staying in my college's housing and getting an internship. my college is in new york city so this is not hard. i know some people from other colleges who are staying in new york or other major cities for the summer as well; some people who stay at home and have jobs and just dont hang out with their high school friends; some people who travel; etc etc. you can basically do anything you want, since there's no real pressure to anything resume-building for after college yet.</p>
<p>traveling overseas.</p>
<p>I'm not tied to a job or a lease yet, so why not</p>
<p>my first summer break i got an internship and lived in my college town :)</p>
<p>i don't really have friends at home anymore, but i think i'm headed there this year. not so cool...</p>
