The University of Toronto students have a slogan “Great minds with great debts”. In fact, students at most colleges and universities here will graduate with great debts and maybe not land that great job to pay for it.
Many students try to work part-time during the school year, but if the course load is heavy, working as well causes a lot of extra stress. So a lot of students work during the summer and save as much as they can to pay the next year’s tuition.
Most colleges and universities finish at the end of April and don’t start again until September, so four months of work adds up to a substantial amount for school. Keep that schedule in mind if you are unemployed, because once the students start looking, your job prospects will be smaller.
For those students who would rather continue with their studies, there are usually summer courses offered. Since they are more concentrated, working part-time as well is usually difficult.
Then again, there will always be students who decide to have fun and enjoy their summer and think about their debt load in the future. Either that, or hope their parents will pay for it.
