Ahh, summer. The only remedy for the stressful 8 months you just endured. While the thought of putting school and summer in the same sentence seems wrong, there are many perks to continuing your education throughout the entire year. Here are a few reasons why you might want to register in a class or two ASAP! 

1. You get to see Victoria during the prettiest time of year.

 

2. Finding a parking spot is easy.

3. Short lines in Biblio.

4. In fact, way less people EVERYWHERE.

5. Studying in the quad.

 

6. The buses won’t pass you by.

7. You have the perfect excuse to not get a job.

8. You can get ahead in your credits.

9. The gym is practically empty.

10. Or, you can retake that one math class you failed.

Are you taking a summer course this year? Let us know in the comments!
