I once took a summer class when I was in college. I actually enjoyed it. Despite of losing my vacation, I had fun with my classmates. I guess it's partly because I'm not one of those students who have somewhere to vacation to during the summer. Most of the times I would just go to my relatives in the States during that time, spend a week or two with them then go home and get stuck in the house all summer. I guess that's why it was fun for me to have summer classes.

I have experienced both in a summer class and on vacation during summer time. And I feel that it is much better to go on summer classes for you will not have too much load during the first semester of your class and will even have lesser years to study. I never had problems with the summer vacation though for there was still enough time for me to do the things I wish to still enjoy my vacation.

Depending on case to case basis but sometimes there are campus that will obliged you to have summer classes whether you like it or not. If you are still in elementary and high school then you failed subject for several times then you are really required to take the summer classes in order for you to make up with it. But then if you are in college when you failed one subject it is your choice if you want to take it on summer or not so that it could be advance as well and to avoid hassle on the next semester. If you are graduating student then you will encourage yourself to take summer classes in school so that you will be finish as soon as possible.

I want to take a summer class, but I want to have a vacation too- I have been waiting for this. I can't take summer classes even if I want to since it would disqualify me from being in the dean's list. SO I will just enjoy my vacation and make god use of this time.

No,because my parents can't fully support about that, but I was planing to take a summer class. For me its me knowledgeable in advance and helps me to finish my study earlier.

as your discussion summer class or vacation I will choose vacation from them. because expect summer for 2 or 3 months, in the whole year of 9-10 months we studying in colleges and schools but in the summer there are too much hot and its stop you to going in the college or school.I never tried a summer class instead of taking vacation.I feel it and I live in it....

When I was a university student I liked to go on trips in the summer holidays. The holiday began in late June when flight prices were in the shoulder season. So I managed to afford to go to Israel and popped across to Jordan. I also got a trip to Kenya where I was able to go on a safari. I didn't go on any summer schools. I studied hard during term time and needed a rest in the summer holidays.

in college i always take summer classes every year. the classes are longer and in a shorter period of time, you also have less classmates thus allowing you to learn more. i also take advantage that a one semester subject can be completed in just over a month.

LOL! Maybe they have back subjects that they can not enjoy the summer vacation. Or there may be subjects that are available only on summer time. I remember when I was in college, I had four subjects that were only available during summer and if I did not take it, I won't be able to graduate in time.

Well vacations may seem to be fun but do use your time well because you wouldn't get chances like those again. You might wanna go to summer classes. You might make new friends and it would be a little similar to classes so that you wont feel school sick or something and it will last only for a few hours so i guess that you don't have to worry at all!

I've applied for a part-time summer class at the college. I'll have leisure time as well. I think it is good to get some credits for my further education.
