<p>From what I understand, there are 3 terms in Caltech's schedule, leaving a couple months open during summer, over which taking classes is not an option. Other than SURFs, what do people do during this break? Is remaining on campus an option? If so, what is the cost of living for the summer?
Im only a junior in high school, but Im interested in Caltech's unique schedule. Any information would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Those who remain on campus who do not have a SURF usually get a job on campus or off campus closeby. Yes, you can remain on campus. Here is the summer contract for this summer with prices: <a href="http://www.housing.caltech.edu/undergrad/forms/pdf/2007">http://www.housing.caltech.edu/undergrad/forms/pdf/2007</a> Summer Dorm Contract.pdf</p>
