Are you applying to grad school? If so you should definitely being doing research during the semester.

But are you applying to grad school eventually? If you are, you want to have as much research experience as you can. I did research every semester starting winter of my sophomore year. If you want to get into a top program, you will be competing against students who did research every opportunity they had.
