<p>On a thread where I asked re Phys Ed classes, someone posted that there are various options during Intersession which might appeal to someone interested in physical activity/fitness, etc. - such as tai chi, ballroom dancing, ...</p>
<p>This brings up the interesting question of how Intersession is used. I know that it is voluntary and that there are options - enrichment classes, experiential learning (1 credit classes with travel?), academic exploration, study abroad...</p>
<p>My question is how it is <em>typically</em> used. Do most students stay around campus for one of these class/learning/exploration courses? Do some students travel - in or out of the country - on their own for "enrichment?" Do some just extend their holiday vacations at home - is this frowned upon?</p>
<p>Does each student sign up/record somewhere what his/her plan for Intersession is?</p>
<p>Oops, I see my question was largely answered by tanman and Admissions Daniel on the Academic Calendar thread. (But I don't seem to be able to delete this post, since it's a new thread). :o</p>
<p>I would say the majority of freshman stay at home for an extended vacation, but more and more older students tend to come back and take classes or do research etc. The intersession website has more information on registration</p>
<p>Well we can still discuss internsession! I think it's a great idea, and I might be taking a few classes if they are offered again next year.
This:
Introduction to Computer-Integrated Surgery
sounds fascinating, as does this:
International Conflict Resolution</p>
<p>Seriously, there is no need to extend that vacation, it's wasted time, unless you're planning to go somewhere and do something, but don't spend it sitting at home. </p>
<p>I wish JHU also had some financial accounting and classes on practical life stuff during intersession.</p>
<p>scorp - check out the Entrepreneurship and Management program. I believe I remember something about an Intersession program in New York and on Wall Street that may be of interest to you.</p>
<p>Intersession is pretty sweet. It's there for you to do as you please. Last year I went back to campus and just chilled. I think this year I'm going to do research at the med campus.</p>
<p>asdfTT123 are most professors ok with people doing research just during the intersession? (I can imagine we can put in a lot of time that way...)</p>
<p>I think most profs are looking for a longer commitment since intersession is less than a month long. I have my internship through Kennedy Krieger and I'm not working there just during intersession. I'll be there all year long and possibly even the summer.</p>
