For many college students, the summer break is not just a time to relax but to attempt internships. Industries ranging from technology to finance, media to healthcare witness a surge in eager interns, keen on applying classroom knowledge to real-world challenges. On having spoken to a recruiter, they believe the allure of adding valuable experience to their resumes drives many to secure coveted positions in prestigious organisations.

Travel remains a perennial favourite among college students seeking to break free from routine and explore new horizons. With social media amplifying the allure of picturesque locales, travel experiences are increasingly becoming a cornerstone of summer vacation memories.
