I'm a college studen and possibly planning a thru in 2007. What I was wondering was how do your find time to take your hike? I've heard some people say they got their college to sponsor them or something. My problem is that I have to do a Co-op durring my breaks, I wonder if I can convince my college I'll learn more on a thru, then pouring coffee for my boss. This question is mostly for college age hikers, but all opinions are welcom.
