<p>thanksgiving break according to the umich academic calendar is on Wednesday November 23 at 5:00. Does this mean if ur classes are done way before 5 that day you can leave earlier?</p>
<p>people leave after their last class...</p>
<p>Well, yeah. It's not like a bell rings at 5 and everyone rushes off campus at that moment. Setting a time like that means that any Wed. evening classes would be cancelled, just like Thursday & Friday classes are. Students leave when their last class for the week is over. For some people, that may be Tuesday.</p>
<p>How long does the break last? Is it worth going home if you're far away?</p>
<p>You get Wednesday night through Sunday off. Most people who are out-of-staters, like myself, go home during this time because unless you left during the 4-day fall break (that counts the weekend) than you hadn't been home in three months.</p>
<p>there will be plenty of people on campus who don't go home for TG. It gives you 3 whole days at home, and not necessarily worth it. Some students are from abroad, or are immigrants who don't celebrate. I'm sure you could have a good time in Ann Arbor too.</p>
<p>When are midterms? Are they right after that "fall study break" or tg break?</p>
<p>Could be both...or neither. It varies by class. For some classes, such as Chem 130 (General Chem) or Calculus I (Math 115) there are several midterms throughout the semester (3 and 2, respectively) and most classes have a final at the end (some just require you write a paper).</p>
