I'm a college student also, well a much older one. LOL
Most of the other students in my classes (except night classes) are young enough to be my kids. I was faced with this situation when trying to choose a cruise for 2008. I was going to go over Memorial Day, but that would have inteferred with the summer semester. I decided to sign up for online classes in the first summer session which starts Monday so I could have the "main" summer months free. I was looking into the last week of August, but that cut into the first week of the Fall semester. I decided on the second week of August. Their are many students that plan their cruises for during the school year when the prices go down and make arrangements with their Professor to make up the work, or do it before they leave. In my Sociology class, I have a classmate who went on Royal Caribbean, sometime the end of January, which was the beginning of the Spring Semester. Besides reading the textbook, the only the Professor required from her was a reaction paper/essay on a movie from a list of about thirty, which was due before she left. I would say, choose your cruise first, the summer season is pretty expensive, so if you want to go during the semester, inform your Professors before hand and see what you can do to complete the work before hand. Make sure no tests will be given while you are away or see when you can make up the test. I had planned to go to GA to visit my GMA when a test was being scheduled and he moved it back a week, so I wouldn't miss it! These guys will work with you and are not out to get us like many students think. Communications is the key!LOL
