Summer break is an exciting time for students.  With academic stresses finally evaporating, you can fully enjoy the warm weather and beautiful days.  Beyond catching up on some rest and relaxation, you can use the summer months to make money, gain work experience, earn more course credits, or participate in research opportunities.  Regardless of your plans, it is not always easy to know where to begin.  This page is designed to help guide you in the pursuit of some of these goals. 

If you are not a Gettysburg College student but are interested in a summer job, please contact Human Resources.

On-Campus Summer Housing

On-campus summer housing can greatly simplify transportation and living for those who need to remain close to campus for a job, internship, research position, or summer classes.  Some summer positions provide free housing only if the student is REQUIRED to live on campus (i.e. "senior" research assistants in the sciences, Resident Assistants, etc.). Students will be instructed to contact their supervisor to find out whether their position qualifies them for free housing.  Departments are not permitted to “pay” for summer housing for those students who are not required to live on campus; however, departments may offer students a signing bonus to help supplement their expenses, including summer housing.  Please keep in mind that the signing bonus is subject to tax and students can choose to spend that money however they want.  For more information on summer housing (locations, eligibility and verification, fees, and the application process) go to the Residence Life website.  The application deadline for on-campus summer housing is Friday, April 19, 2013.
