Recruiting Soldiers and Buying Horses

The University of Tennessee.

Even though it was already the summer holiday, there were still a lot of students on campus.

Summer vacations for students at American universities were very busy. Due to the high tuition fees of universities, most students relied on student loans to go to universities. Therefore, summer jobs became the best way for university students to reduce their personal financial burden. Many businesses offered summer jobs that catered to students.

In addition, many university students participated in social activities, especially those who were graduating. They would also use this time to prepare for employment.

Universities offered summer courses as well. These types of summer courses were short and, although the coursework was stressful, one could earn credits quickly with them.
