<p>What do Princeton kids typically do during the summer? Some of the things I'm interested in are:</p>
<p>-Research over the summer leading to publications?
-Internships
-Study abroad (I know there's no official one over the summer) or something of this sort?
-Summer classes
-Where do you stay during the summer if dorms are closed?</p>
<p>Some popular options for freshmen:</p>
<p>[ul]
[<em>]Princeton in Beijing (PIB): summer study abroad for those taking Chinese, covers a year's worth of material in eight weeks
[</em>]Princeton Internships in Civil Service (PICS): 10 week internships funded through the Class of '69 Community Service Fund (approximately 70 internships)
[li]Research: Princeton's Physics, Chemistry, and Molecular Biology departments have a variety of summer research opportunities for freshmen through seniors. Many students pursue undergraduate research opportunities at other universities.[/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>Sophomores and juniors often get corporate internships or pursue research for their independent work. Internships are harder to come by as a freshman, but it's definitely doable. </p>
<p>Princeton housing is available during the summer.</p>
