i’m not too sure how many students work but i’d guess 50/50 at least work part time for various reasons. i definitely regret not taking summer classes because i value a school-life balance, honestly don’t know why i didn’t. IMPORTANT: if you are not planning on continuing education after a bachelors, gpa DOES NOT MATTER. if you think it does, you probably need to go to graduate school to get the job you want anyway because there will ALWAYS be someone smarter and more qualified. the only thing that can make you stand out from such a skilled crowd is what you did with your time in college and the values you practiced while there. gpa is secondary in the real world.
