As the end of the semester approaches there are a lot of things students have to do.
But besides finishing up papers and taking finals, one important task is solidifying summer plans.
Since it's most likely that many Penn Staters will be hitting the beach, taking classes or working this summer, Venues decided to ask students about what plans they may have for the ever-important summer concert scene as an alternative to their other activities.
Some students have tickets to the big shows this summer, while others have plans to see some of the smaller shows. And for those of you who don't have tickets to any show at all -- read on, you might get some inspiring ideas.
