Fall/Spring Break at Penn so short?!

<p>hey, i just checked the schedule of move-ins, final examinations, and most importantly, BREAKS at the NSO website… we only have 2weeks for fall and spring break? what happened to the month long breaks that i hear from most of my current college friends?</p>

<p>How many days of drinking 12 shots of vodka or a load of sixpacks can you take?</p>

<p>What are you complaining about? We have almost 4 months of summer and more than a month when combining spring, fall, and winter breaks. Think we're being jipped on our winter breaks? Most people I know who have longer breaks say that after two weeks you're bored to tears. Honestly, it's not a huge deal.</p>

<p>tru tru... its just i've been jipped out of our winter and spring breaks to just 7days (including weekends)... and it suxed... lol</p>

<p>mahras, well said.</p>

<p>I'm not paying 40 grand to vacation.</p>

<p>honestly, the 2 week winter break is a <em>tad</em> short, but much longer and you'd get bored at home.. granted, getting home 2 weeks earlier than eveyrone else also can cause incredible amounts of boredem, but it's summer and my friends are still taking finals, so it makes it worth it :)</p>

<p>easy for you guys to say that more summer is better- I'll have less time at home when the weather is really nice- its in the low 60s in winter- and be home for 4 months in triple digit heat :(</p>
