Seems as if we’ve never had this many long breaks, this early in the season

Had no idea we have yet another week off after Clemson. This is brutal.
I have 2 granddaughters in college and college breaks now are ridiculously long. It’s good for those kids that can secure a job. Back in the Middle Ages when I was in college we had from around Dec 23rd till Jan 5th off now they have from Dec 16 th through Jan 12th at SU. It’s like 3+ weeks long now.

I’m assuming Winter sessions must not have been a thing back then. I had some roommates at Oswego who took advantage of the Winter sessions to get ahead on credits.
 
I went to RIT when they were on trimesters. First trimester ended at Thanksgiving, which meant Xmas was about 3 weeks into the 2nd trimester. Xmas break was about 8 or 9 days, came back right after New Years.

2nd trimester also ended late February which meant Spring Break was the worst -- Key West on let's say Feb 26 - March 2nd was just not the quintessential experience.

Yeah, when I was at Oswego 30 years ago we had nearly a month off. I remember it seemed longer than most other schools. Spring break also seemed to always be scheduled about a week later too.
