<p>i want to know about vacations</p>
<p>first when does school start?</p>
<p>how many major breaks are there and how long is each break? </p>
<p>are there any classes on sat/sun?</p>
<p>The official 2006/2007 CMU academic calendar is here, (most of your questions can be answered by looking at the calendar):

<p>My S comes home during the winter and his break is close to 4 weeks, (mid December to about mid January). He comes home for Spring Break and that is 10 days.</p>
<p>There are not a whole lot of vacations. We get a day off for Labor Day, a 4-day weekend for Thanksgiving, 3 weeks or so for Winter Break, a week for Spring Break, a 4-day weekend for Spring Carnival...and as far as I know, there aren't any other major breaks.</p>
<p>School starts in late August; freshman orientation starts around August 20 or so.</p>
<p>No classes on weekends.</p>
<p>How come TSB December finals are later than the other schools, we have classes during spring carnival, and there's only "Mini-4 Examinations" in the spring?</p>
<p>nevermind, it says that is ony for grad students..</p>
