<p>So I was wondering which colleges have testing (finals/midterms) before December break and which colleges have them after December break?
I was primarily interested in "top colleges" (top 50 or so ranked) but whatever college you know or attend works too.</p>

<p>I think most top schools have finals before break, including Yale. One I know that doesn’t is Princeton (they have a really weird break schedule: break, then finals, then break again). You can just search “-insert college you’re interested in- academic calendar” on Google and you should be able to find their schedules.</p>
<p>Oh right, thanks, I didn’t even think about that.
I think Princeton does that to let students study over that “break” then give them a real break afterwards.</p>
<p>Harvard has finals after the Christmas break as well.</p>
<p>
This used to be the case but changed as of last year I believe according to a Harvard undergrad friend of mine. Their finals are before Winter Break now as well.</p>
