<p>Hey! I read in a book that one of the best things about Cornell is "fridays off!". Does that mean that you don't have school on fridays? Do you have a 3-day weekend? I was just wondering if anyone can clear that up for me. Thanks!</p>
<p>not sure what they were talking about, but i have 3 'sections' on fridays. These are TA lead group discussions that work to boost the effectiveness of the lectures. But, i dont have any actual lecture classes on fridays. My girlfriend in architecture does have friday classes.</p>
<p>Some people are able to get away with friday's off, but that is some people, and this is probably true at every college. Personally, I have 3 lectures and a 3 hour lab on friday, so friday is the worst day of the week for me. Next semester I'm only going to have two lectures and a section.</p>
<p>I can't speak for the other colleges at Cornell, but for engineering it seems like it would be very hard to impossible to get fridays off (at least for a freshman).</p>
<p>Of course, if you really wanted friday's off, you could just not go to classes, but that's not a good idea.</p>
<p>actually, i believe upperclassmen in ilr have fridays off. My fridays next semster will be signficantly lighter, i think only one lecture.</p>
<p>It depends on your schedule. If you pick classes so that you do not meet on fridays then, well, you have fridays off. I know several upperclassmen who have this arrangement. Bust your ass at the beginning like I am and maybe you, too can have fridays off! ;)</p>
