On part of taking the Ski Resort Operation program at Georgian college, is that as a trade off for having winter co-op, you must school through the summer. This means that technically, if you include the co-op experience as work, our students have year round school. Having year round school does, however, make the course last for only 2 years, which is not a rushed amount of time, but rather the perfect amount of time to learn all you can about the industry by sitting in a class room.
Now I know what most of you are thinking; School in the summer? That's pretty lame, it's probably no fun at all. And if it was a year ago, I may have agrees with you, but the truth is that the professors designed the coarse to be best for the student, and that includes making the summer bearable.
The workload in the summer is much less that in the fall. You are almost guaranteed a day off a week and other days you may only be faced with 1 class a day. Furthermore the professors respect that we are young and like to go out some nights, so as an accommodation for us, they make most of the classes starting around noon so that students get a chance to sleep in.
Professors also realize that people like to go away in the summer and have fun. So they made sure that tuition included the price to go white water rafting on the Ottawa river for 3 days and 2 nights in the middle of the summer semester. This trip is a welcome break and is a ton of fun. You make friendships stronger and have a great time sleeping under the stars with each other.
Living in Barrie in the summer is not bad at all. there is always the opportunity to go to a nearby beach; the famous Wasaga beach. also there is a beach very close to where the school is, as well as a multitude of other activities to do in and around Barrie.
So when asked if I like school in the summer or not, I think that I would answer that I do like it due to the circumstances. The way the coarse is set up in a very good and appropriate way.
