<p>How many breaks are there at CU and how long is each of them?</p>
<p>Last semester there was one 4-day weekend around election day (you get the Monday and Tuesday off). Then there's Thanksgiving (you actually have class that Wednesday, but most profs will cancel that day anyway) for which you get Thursday and Friday off. You get off for Christmas somewhere between the 20-23 (depending on when your last exam is) and go back for class the 17th of January. Second semester there's only a one-week spring break, I think. </p>
<p>It doesn't sound like a lot, but almost no one has classes on Friday (only some classes like Chinese language and some science labs can be taken Friday), so every weekend is a three-day weekend.</p>
<p>Thanks, how long is summer vacation?</p>
<p>May 8th-ish to 12th (again depending on when you finish finals) to Tuesday after Labor Day.</p>
<p>Yea chinese!!!!</p>
