Jury duty is different everywhere. I was called when I was in college. Of course you are called in the county of your primary residence which wasn't where I was at school. Fortunately they moved it to summer because it was NOT going to work!
But it was a PITA. Show up EVERY FREAKING DAY for a month. Sit there reading or playing cards or whatever until they call you for a jury selection - or not (which was more often the case) and you went home at the end of the day. Sometimes I would show up and after a short time they would send everyone home because they weren't drawing juries that day. It was onerous. In So Cal, L.A. County. This was also 45 years ago, it may very well be different now.
But when DW was called here in Vermont some years ago it was once a week for a month and you called in in the morning to see if they needed you to come in.
