Sophomore Summer Plans

Going into my sophomore year at non-target, well regarded school but not a big IB presence. Just finished a summer internship at a VC backed startup in product strategy/market intel and will be doing a fall internship at a local LMM/MM bank. I am currently debating whether to pursue a sophomore summer internship or do a study abroad. Think that since recruiting will already be underway and I have some experience that sophomore summer will not be crucial for the resume. I will still try and recruit and if I land a top gig take that. Any thoughts or suggestions?
