No one's stopping you. Hell, most of the first years go home during the summer anyway.
Really? Aside from one outlier who took a trip to Europe, everyone in my class worked to pay the rent and tried to get their thesis rolling over the summer...but I suppose it might make sense depending on where people live. I forget sometimes that we have lots of people that live at home with their parents still.
