Do grades matter in college, as long as you DON'T fail and earn your degree?
I know in high school, grades do matter in order to get scholarships, which can save you a lot of money. But most people's next step after college is to start their job life, so as long as you get your degree, are grades important? Do employers look at your college transcript?

My classmate copied my answer word for word, how do I make sure I don't get blamed for this?
In my college course we are required to do weekly discussion boards, I typed up my response and submitted it but the next day when I went to respond to my classmates this person had submitted the same exact paragraph as me, they clearly copied and pasted my answer. I am nervous that I could be blamed for this, what can I do? Thank you ❤.

When it’s summer, what do college students who live in dorms do?
Favorite Answer:College dorms are only open during the semesters when classes are offered. If a college has no summer term, then the dorms close, and the students go back to their families' homes. Nearly all college dorm leases are for four months (one semester) or ten months (two semester) only.
If a college has summer classes available, then dorms are available as well, for the students enrolled in summer classes. You would almost certainly have to switch dorm rooms; you aren't able to just stay in the same room as you did in the spring semester. There will be a few days between the Spring term ending and the Summer term beginning, and between the Summer term ending and the fall semester beginning, that the dorms are closed entirely for cleaning and maintenance.
As an alternative, in colleges in city and suburban settings, there are generally a number of students that live in off-campus housing. If someone needs to stay near campus but doesn't necessarily take classes (for example, an international student who can't afford to fly home), they will often sublet an off-campus apartment for the summer, from a renter who rents the apartment year-round (most non-academic leases are for one year minimum) but who doesn't want to remain there all summer.
What if an international student doesn't want to fly home, but attends a rural college that has no summer housing? Well, that's the sort of thing one has to consider when determining whether to attend, and which, university overseas. Some will put most of their stuff into storage, and spend the summers traveling or working in a place that provides housing, like a resort or summer camp.
