What is summer like for a Tech student? Many trade Atlanta’s heat for experiences such as interning, co-oping, or studying and working abroad. Others stay to take classes, work, do research, or just enjoy a quieter campus environment.

Some students near and far have been chronicling their experiences online the past few weeks and will continue to do so through the summer. Should you be looking for some fresh summer reading, here are a few blogs worth following:

• I Am Liberal Arts: This group from the Ivan Allen College features students with varied summer plans. Their stories come to you from places including Atlanta, France, Russia, England, China, and Italy.
• @chintanparikh: Rising second-year computer science major Chintan Parikh landed an internship with a startup company in New York and will write about his work and experience as one of the youngest members on his team.
• Techies Roving Internationally: If you’d like to focus on the international experience, you can read what President’s Scholars have to say about their travels and studies around the world. Spain, Singapore, and Ethiopia are among the many places these students are exploring throughout the summer.
• Kara Strasser: Strasser, an undergraduate in materials science and engineering, is studying abroad in Metz, France, and plans to visit 12 countries in three months, cataloging her travels and experiences along the way.
