<p>Just curious. How many weeks are students given between semesters during winter break? If current students can remember the specific dates, I'd really appreciate it.</p>
<p>I'm asking because I plan on doing something during the break and would like to know how many weeks would be available.</p>
<p>The last exams were on December 19th, 2006, and classes started January 24th, 2007. We could move in at 10am on January 21st.</p>
<p>What about the winter session? I haven't seen much info on it---can you live on campus and do it? Also, Penn-dreamer, the 2007-2008 academic calendar is on the UMD site (in several places)---that should help for the specific dates for 2007 and 2008, although it's generally the same time period as it was for 2006-2007....just varying b'cse of days of the week.</p>
<p>whoah!! we have over a month off for winter break!! awesome!!</p>
<p>astrophysicsmom-- i did winter session this past winter and it was great. 3 hours of class, 5 days a week. then i had all afternoon to go to the gym/study, and i could go out or hang out with friends at night.</p>
<p>only a few residence halls are open during the winter, but sometimes out-of-state students will sublet their apartments to people staying for for winter session. it's pretty easy to find housing for that.</p>
<p>at least a month, if not 5 weeks! (i think it's the most out of any school i know)</p>
