1. You get to spend some time alone.

It may seem like it's a sad thing, but when there are less than 100 people on a campus usually filled with 3,000+ students, it is super peaceful. No loud music or noisy and obnoxious neighbors. It's altogether pretty silent. Probably a little eerie when you hear noises in your empty dorm, but still kind of nice.

2. Occasionally you get #blessed with a really nice living space.

Usually, schools move all remaining residents to their apartment style living complexes which are usually really swanky. HOLLA. So, that's a perk in itself. Look out, MTV Cribs.

3. The weather is AMAZING.

You are stuck at school during the two saddest seasons of the year doing midterms and finals, wondering when things will brighten up. Well, pal. The good news is that your campus is in its best shape with the best weather in the summer season.

4. This is your opportunity to get ahead.

Flopped a few classes? Want to have a smaller workload for the fall? You can always look into the summer classes and sessions your university has to offer.

5. You now have time to do all the things you said you wanted to do!!!

School bogged you down during the academic year, but you that all behind in hopes for a rad summer. You now have the chance to try out all the local eateries, shops, and entertainment that you were too busy for during the semester.

6. Job opportunities

Universities often offer jobs to those living on campus during the summer. Summer resident assistants, orientation leaders, and housing secretaries are just a few positions that could be available. Most of these jobs include free housing and pay, so you could chill on campus for free!

7. Campus perks.

Most schools have their facilities open all year round, not just during the academic year. So, be sure to use the gym, pool, library, and university eateries to your advantage.

8. You get to meet new people.

Summer living forces you to make friends outside your usual friend group. Most people go home for the summer, so now is a great time to make new connections with students who you may not have known before.

9. Practice for the real world.

Living at school for the summer forces you to be in charge of yourself and make your own decisions. No parents, no teachers, and not many people to motivate you to take care of your responsibilities. You have to learn how to do things for yourself. Like grocery shopping, or tying your shoes.

10. It's college without the school part.

This is what the people have been waiting for. This is what the people want.
