Should I Graduate in Three Years of Four?

I have enough credits to graduate in three years but I am wondering if I should stick around to get more experience and take more classes that aren't required for me to graduate. Currently I am in my first year in college and have yet to get any meaningful internship nor will be I able to do so during this summer due to some travel plans. Thoughts?
