That is always a matter of controversy. Many institutions have guidelines, but don't enforce them. Students would like their grades in a timely fashion, if for no other reason than to help plan for the next semester's courses.
"Boston is home to more than 60 colleges and universities, serving over 250,000 students" -- at least this is what Vanna White was prompted to say during a promotional spot during College Week in Boston in 2009.
It would not be impossible but it would be a real challenge depending on the major. Many majors do not offer key requirements during the summer. Course offerings are typically more limited during the summer sessions. If you have time constraints, there are many good colleges and universities that offer online degrees. For schools within the US, just make sure the school has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework as degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers.

I was told ( not sure how accurate this is ) that suicide rates increased during that specific time of year amongst uni and or college students.
Yes you can. There are a number of Universities that offer the award and merge it with the whole issue of deaf and deafen living.
Yes, all colleges usually offer tours so you can check out their campuses. I recommend you go during the summer, so you can check other universities as well!
Universities started to flourish during the Renaissance.
When the printing press was invented it allowed people to read and learn. When people want to learn and discuss theory, science, philosophy, the arts they form schools and colleges to teach these things.

There are some colleges and universities that offer programs ( usually during the summer) that may be called "College for Kids," or "College for Teens." The programs are usually offered by the department of continuing education. You would have to inquire at the colleges and universities that are in your local area. The enrollment specialists within the admissions office at these schools should be able to help you.
University professors live and work with an eye towards the future, as they conduct cutting edge research while also teaching the next generation of students. University professors specialize in a particular area; some are scientists, working in chemistry, engineering, or biology, while others are humanists, specializing in English, history, or philosophy. Professors make their home in departments of colleges and universities, conducting research in their discipline and publishing papers and books as a result of their research. Professors are also expected to teach courses during the academic year, and thus must know how to communicate their discipline to both undergraduate and graduate students. Many university professors serve on committees at the department and college levels. A university professor job is a well-respected and highly sought after position. Professors get summers off from teaching, though many use this time to continue their research. After seven years of research, teaching, and service, qualified tenure-track professors may be awarded tenure. Professors with tenure are very difficult, if not impossible, to fire, giving professors job security and assurances of academic freedom. A university professor's salary depends on a number of factors, including geography, type and prestige of school, specialization, experience, and rank. The average salary for all post-secondary teachers was $58,830 in 2008. Competition for these jobs is expected to be fierce, though improving as 'baby boomer' professors retire on masse. This mass exodus of professors will be countered by trimmed university budgets and other cutbacks in hiring. Still, growth is expected to be 'above average' in the next decade. Most university professors hold PhDs in the field in which they research and teach. To earn their PhD, aspiring professors must complete 5 or more years of graduate school in which they take courses, teach, do research, and write a 'dissertation,' an original piece of research that is judged by his or her committee. After graduate school, some go on to post doctorate positions, during which they strengthen their teaching and research portfolios. Applicants who have strong dissertations, academic backgrounds, teaching records, and letters of recommendation may earn tenure-track jobs at research institutions and liberal arts colleges. Those who slip through the cracks, or have weaker credentials, often take non-tenure track or adjunct (part-time) positions.
