Summer school at A&M was a ton of fun when I went to school there. I would only take a few courses, and the campus was never crowded. The class sizes were also a lot smaller.
My girlfriends and I would take morning classes, and then hang out by the pool with our books in the afternoon.
The pace was so much slower than the regular summers.
I only went for 2 summers, but it was great!
Can you live in a dorm during the summer?
