University mid year break? Exams?

[whichkim]

So I was checking the calendar after Easter break ended to see when the next break would be... Am i looking at this wrong because I see a two month break from beginning June-end July?

Are there lectures and tutes still running during examination month? Then after exams it's just one month of doing nothing right?

This two month "break" can't be real.....

No. June consists of one week of swotvac and three weeks of exams. All of July is an official break. If you happen to have your last exam mid-June for example, then you get a six week break. If you have an exam on the last day of the exam period, you get 4 weeks break.

And to clarify, no classes run through the swotvac and exam period which this year is basically all of June. Your last official classes willbe the 30th May.

I would really advise against you considering it a two month break...lol.
The exam period is the most stressful time of the semester, certainly no break.

YAY. ILL CONSIDER THAT A TWO MONTH BREAK!

THANK YOU

You wish. SWOTVAC =/= break.

Then consider the fact that treating it as such will probably mean spending an extra semester or two at uni, because, you know, you might end up having to repeat stuff.

HAHAHA. Just being at home and not needing to take public transport to the city everyday is a break for me. Dont worry guys, Ill still be studying hard! I just hate trains, buses and trams.

it is considered a two month break if all your exams finish in the first week of june
